Sharon wants us to show e.g. a plane, bird, feather, anything that can go up in the air.
The twist is to use Autumnal Colours copper, burnt orange etc

I have to admit that taking photos was the last thing on my mind as I was creating this project.
The base. a 6 x 6 inch canvas was layered with a few pieces of washi tape and scraps of lace. Next came the stencils [Tim Holtz and Clarity] and paper artsy Grunge Paste.. I left this to dry and gathered together a selection of spray paints including Dylusions-Gold Mica, Amber and Sweetened orange. Using these until I was happy with the colours of autumn I hoped to see.
The bird stamp is from a Dina Wakley set and was water coloured.
This I fussy cut and perched it on a twig from my garden.
The leaves and acorns are die cuts, but as my storage system for these was on a magnetic sheet, the makers packaging has been lost.
Thank you for stopping by to see me I always appreciate the comments you leave me.
Very beautiful canvas. You are so talented to use many kind of materials.
