Use your left overs at TioT's

A super new challenge theme over at Try it on Tuesdays today

Use your left overs and scraps.



Please call over to TioT' s here to see what we all made with our left overs.
Read all the details for the theme,  as we would like you to tell us about the scraps you used





This is my pile of bits and pieces,

materials, papers, most were used, but I am still looking for a home for the skeleton leaf.





The earlier stages of sticking down,
 The base canvas was a total mess of colour, scrapes, spilt embossing powder that stuck to the original wet paint.



I added the clay left overs and began by covering  it with white acrylics, gesso didn't work . 
I had a bit of experiment with paler colours at this stage and decided that pink and pale were not me.

Hence the dark final colours you see in my first photo.
 I used own made spray paints.
Found the pen nib for  the butterfly,  in a packet containing yet more bits and pieces.

Now to the added words, it is really a note to myself.....
 that one day,  if I ever completely sort through my craft room, it could  happen, I often start the job and tidy the desk. Tidiness and order, would  prevail.
Go on laugh,, I know that this is a very distant dream.
Besides, I wouldn't know where to find anything.

Thank you for calling in to see me today
You are always very welcome.

If you have called to see me for TDay, please scroll down for today's earlier post

  20. It's really true that color unifies everything. Although I liked the pink and white, I much preferred the final beauty you created. Had to laugh at the concept of a clean art studio, though. I think it's something all of us aspire to now and then.

  24. You are never too old to dream a new dream. I am doing that right now with my artwork. I have taught school and sewn and knitted for years and years but that door was closed to me by arthritis and my back problems. But a wonderful new door opened and a wee dream came true....my artwork. Thanks for all of your encouragement. genie
