Beautiful fairy lights setting the scene.

beautiful funky junk art- orange basket

well on bin day i saw a nice little kitsch style orange basket/box on someone`s rubbish pile, i walked up shamelessly to the pile and picked it up as no one saw lol, the moment i saw it i was thinking what crazy paint job i could give it.

i really wanted a funky little storage area for all my bits and bobs on my art desk so thought this would do the job perfectly.

so i got it home and started slapping pva glue and old pages from a books all over it till it was covered. then the paint job began. i wanted it too looked aged and like the paint had peeled. so went for a pink with browns and a hint of green. finsihed it off with some ribbon, inks and rub on letters. went with a parcel theme and some of the phrases read (return to sender) & (food parcel for) etc etc.



xxx next time ur out on bin day, just keep ur eyes open to see if u can find anything to funk up. re-used and recycle !

a came across a lovley little website with some unique bits and bobs.

after a long time away from the journal

ok so its been months since i doodled in my art journal, but after being inspired by steampunk on the milliande ning group i knocked out some pages.
this whole style was new to me so this is my first attempt. as usual its mixed media collage work.

enjoy.
