This is the first time I'm participating in Paint Party Friday, hosted by Kristin and Eva at http://paintpartyfriday.blogspot.com/.
My desk is partially taken with a mixed media landscape, based on this photo I took last fall on a trip to Mt Baker with my husband.
The final layout and adding of fibers has me a bit stumped. I intended to add a tree of fibers, but my plan threw it off balance. So regrouping, here are a couple of options:
Leaving the "larger" tree out totally. I'll probably add bits of the colored lace to the horizon line to accent if I go this route.
A very rough layout with bits of lace branches. I haven't yet trimmed the pieces of lace.
Once I decide, I'll add the rest of the fibers and beads. I've found that using the photo as another eye sometimes helps me figure things out, when I've painted myself into a corner. :)
Happy Friday the 13th, and Happy Birthday to my friend Pam at Oh, Did You Forget!
