my creative space... the windmills are FINISHED!

Its time to send the information and photos off to see if this work is good enough for the folks at Hornsby Art gallery/Council. Its a mixed media piece to go into the Returned to Glory, recycled art competition.

I ended up using an old library book, some sheet music, an old dressmaking pattern and some bits of fabric and buttons as embellishments..... TA DA... I love the end result so dont be surprised if you see me making more in the future..... look out all you scrap pieces of paper and old magazines!!!


 I thought that I would also enter this into the wearable art section, I know its pretty boring and not really artistic but it is made from an old t shirt therefore technically it is reused and recycled and refashioned


its really warm and cosy too...perfect for this cold weather!

go and see what the others are doing at kootoyoo on Thursdays!!!

    VERY funky art work. I might have to go and have a look at the Hornsby Art Gallery/Council.
    You might not rate your scarf/necklace too highly - but I'd totally wear it... I think I want one! Might have to head to the local oppy and see if I can find some T's in a colour I like! :)
