OH mY GOSH!! This is fabulous. I love every inch of this wonderful canvas. I am definitely going to have to lift this design for a trinket box I have been hoarding - if I may??? Thanks for the inspiration.
Your art canvas is gorgeous. Love those little bits and pieces you collected that adds perfect little details to your project. The term Magpie fits me too. Happy hunting!
Renea!!!!! I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this work of art! I love every little thing about it! Especially that quote and all of your perfect details! Thanks so much for sharing this with us. Happy Mother's Day, my friend!
Renea, this is beautiful! Love how you tucked treasures into the dress! I too collect little things that are meaningful as well as useless knowing that I could use it someday. I always say all my little things already have someone's name on it just waiting to be used :)

Today, I would like to share an 8 x 10 canvas that I created with the Scraps Of Elegance May Kit-Yesterdays. I just love all the She Art pieces that I have seen others do, and have wanted to try my hand at them, but wanted mine to reflect me and my own style. I kept trying to wrap my head around how I would want mine to look and then I was reading through my "Sew Somerset" magazine and there was an article by Carrie Payne. Carrie is an artist who loves to sew her She Art pieces into quilts, and she confesses that she is a "Magpie" which is a person who collects things, especially things of little use or value, and to which I can so relate. I am definitely a Magpie!! She creates her quilt "She" and gives them dresses with little treasures tucked into them. I wanted to give my "She" a similiar look, but decided on layers of pink and white, glitter tulle to get a more airy look and feel.
I did lots of techniques to create this layout, and used the Color Add On from this month's kit along wit pieces from the Embellishment and Kit to round it all out.
I really love how this turned out!! It really reflects my love for collecting things and I enjoyed getting to try something new. I don't think it is something I would like to do often, but it is always fun to push yourself out of your element and to try something challenging. I hope you find the time to try something new, and to express yourself through art. It really is freeing. Hugs, ~Renea
