possibility begins with imagination

Hi there! Surely you are all busy during this holiday season! We celebrate Christmas in my home and this year a day early! YIKES! That means Santa comes tonight ;) Today I have a Finnabair inspired mixed media canvas to share that I made as a gift for Scott. 
Lots of metal findings were used to create this project:
The background was made using an old circuit board from Scott's collection of electronic treasures, the heart is a faux metallic bead that I had on hand:
The metal plumping pipe and fittings are Prima products which I bought nearly a year ago and was saving for a rainy day:


I'm entering this in the Mixed Media Place Creative Gym #3 where the theme is Wings:
Many thanks for stopping by ~ I hope you all enjoy the holidays!
Be Sweet ;)

    Wow! Another treasure! You always do such gorgeous work!!! How fun to use an old circuit board for your base! I hope your Christmas was lovely! We do Christmas on Christmas Eve and because of DH's work we moved it earlier last year. No one but me liked it that way so this year we had our Christmas Eve after Steve came home from work. We nixed our traditional feast and had a large salad instead. It was all a bit hurried but everyone seemed to enjoy their Christmas more this year then last.
