Mona in Art……
……is the theme chosen by Fatma for our challenge this week on Sunday Postcard Art.
I’ve given Mona a bit of a zetti make over for mine! Background was hand doodled and then inked over with adirondak dye based inks, then various things collaged on top.

…….made a new blog to put my handdrawn and painted stuff on. Thought it seemed out of place next to the collage and mixed media pieces etc.
Not much there at the moment but it’ll grow!!

….is the challenge over on Mixed Media Mondays. Well I’ve certainly never altered spoons before!
I’ve signed up for a swap on Mail Art World for altered spoons (based on an idea seen in Cloth, Paper, Scissors) so thought I’d have a practice! These are only teaspoons, for the swap I’ll use a larger spoon.
Firstly they were inked [...]
