Found

Well folks, fate indeed.  The piece I posted previously has already sold!  I am so blessed and happy about this progress.  The only problem is that I had intended to send it along to the crafty market for my experiment.  The solution was to try and get busy creating post work today.  Typically I am a weekend artist, but with this little deadline, I changed my typical habit and I am glad.  I am calling this one "Found."

I was inspired to add this week's challenge over at Simon Says Stamp and Show of incorporating distressed torn edges to this project.  I used some torn inky bits of really lovely paper I purchased at a speciality paper store and attached them to my vintage wooden spools.  I used lots of found objects, vintage finds and a few of Tim Holtz's goodies too.  Assemblage is just so much fun. It gives me a reason to search for all kinds of random stuff.  Hopefully this piece will sell and fund another shopping trip. :)

My intention is to turn out a few more pieces by Friday so stay tuned.
