My sister, April's birthday is today. So I started the day trying to figure out what to make for her. She is quite the artist and loves mixed media. She loves chickens. When I saw the challenge I was thinking chickens and sunflowers. I was going with a steampunk look with the dp that I choose. The body of the chicken was made from a page from my encyclopedia. The article was about GYPSIES. I used brown water colored paint to splatter my chicken once I paper pieced her together. I made my circle sunflowers also from pages from the encyclopedia. My circles look like some one with parkinson's disease cut them out. I scrunched them and watercolored them. I hot glued brown buttons to the centers. I made their stems out of green ribbon. I made the sentiment poison pen letters from this week's add for my local grocery store. (note for my sister... I was listening to songs by Billy Joel and the Beatles and eating OREOS while making your card!)
