I have been chomping at the bit, wanting to share the birthday present I made for Meagan. I didn't want to post anything about it until I heard from her that she received it. Well... still no word and I just can't wait any longer Megs.
This was my first mixed-media painting ever and I am so happy with how it came out. What fun it was to rummage through old ephemera to find background material to collage with. The photo is from a school dance (as if you can't tell), there is a postcard that Meg sent to my dad in 1995, and a page from my 7th grade journal for Mrs. Norton's class that talks about Chris G. and I sending Meagan balloons for her birthday. The bottom of the journal page says "Happy Birthday Meagan" How perfect is that!?!
I am hoping that this piece leads me to more mixed-media painting because it was so much fun.
