Here's a little something I've been working on...

I mentioned before that I'm loving the bigger pieces of art I've been seeing around -

We picked up a couple of these out at Old Time Pottery [$5 each!]  a while back. 

They had a painting on them and the frames were pretty rough -

Y'all know much of my art is inspired by Christy Tomlinson...

I like a textured background so I tend to stick down [with my home-made mod-podge] 

old receipts, tags, used baby wipes, and pattern pieces...
EDITED: Thanks to a sweet friend I must clarify that there are no babies in this house - 
the wipes are used to get the paint off my hands - lol.

then I paint with my favorite colors -- 

This time I did angels inspired by Gracie and Company -

The bodies are patterned paper, wings are hymnal pages, 

and faces / arms are dictionary pages...

 Then I finished it up with a favorite quote:

Wonderful! Counselor! Mighty God! The Ever-lasting Father! The Prince of Peace!

And at the bottom - 

His name is called Emmanuel. 

 

Can you see that I tweaked it again to be happy with it?

I will store it and use it each year --
