capture life's moments... 42

Hi there! I hope you are having a great weekend! Today I have a Finnabair inspired mixed media project to share that I made for my sweet daughter Angie. I'm joining along with the Mixed Media Place Creative Gym Exercise #3 where the challenge is to create a project featuring: WINGS

Lots of texture and embellishments:

In case you've missed my post in the past, Angie is a professional free-style bicyclist. I really believe her bicycle has wings! She has been named to ESPN's Top 50 action athletes:

The canvas features a variety of metal and resin trinkets including a resin angel which resembles Angie's guardian angel watching over her:

Here's Angie's flying machine:

surrounded by metal gears, cogs, and flowers, etc...

I couldn't resist a metal butterfly embellishment (Angie's my little butterfly, always flutteringd

Many thanks for stopping by ~ I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Be Sweet ;)

I am very new to mixed media and have just begun to collect supplies for my first attempt (which I am sure no one will ever see), but, hopefully, I will learn as I go.
