This week's challenge set by Linda over on her blog Studio L3 is to make something using the technique 'multi-medium collage' as described on page 66 of Tim Holtz book 'Compendium of Curiosities'.
My collaged piece (I used vintage music sheet) has been mounted onto some card and I haven't decided yet what to do with it - another greeting card perhaps, or maybe a little hanger.
Here's what I used to make it -
The cage and bird were coloured with Brusho powder paints, I love the vibrancy of them. I used the distress inks on the background.
Finally, here's a close up of the little birdie - it's a shame he's caged, but he does sing a lovely song - he is after all covered with music score!
I'm really enjoying these challenges and sure I wouldn't otherwise be trying out the various techniques in the book.

It's beautiful, Sherry! I love that you used sheet music for the Multi-Medium technique, and they way you inked over it is so cool! Great embellishments, too-- the fibers and little beads are a great touch.
This is so sweet!
So cool, love how your birdcage turned out!

This is the most colorful bird in a cage I've seen yet. Love the colors, fibers, and little beads.
Oh wow, fab colours and love everything about it. Annette x
This is fantastic! So bright and cheery! Love the sequin for the eye. Linda could challenge us all to use the bird and cage and I think everyone would do it different.
Fabulous, the colours are so alive, love the beads.
