A challange

I forgot I was in the middle of this post! 

I thought I would upload this as it was a challange set by my very talented friend Donna.  The challange was to create a piece of work which had to be 4" x 4" or less!  Contain at least 2 textures and a quote.  I am always up for a challange!  Here it is!  I used a 4 x 4 canvas.  Watercolours with a little salt added to remove the colour.  Drift wood, fishing line, snad and sa shell found on Sandaig beach whilst on holiday.  The brown tie at the top is packaging from art from the heart! (I keep everything!).  The heart is a uses tumble drier sheet gesso'ed and painted with acrylic paint.  I am not sure where the heart charm ccame from.  I love the quote so thats the one I used.  I lovingly cut the words out of a book I am altering very badly.  They were attached with gel medium.  The challenge is complete!  I really enjoyed creating the canvas!  I particularly like the way I have managed to use the flat piece of drift wood as it was a very interesting shape.  It had pride of place above my desk.  It is not often I like my creations!
