For my design team project this month for More Mixed Media, I recycled a couple of pieces from my old carriage clock. I've had it for about 12 years and it finally gave up the ghost,lol.
I used the metal base and painted it black, I found a circle of MDF which I painted green.
I managed to find a large-ish vintage cotton reel in my stash and painted that black...the middle section I added some hessian and black lace and a little bow.
To decorate the top of my cotton reel I first stamped the image of this cute little girl with her butterfly wings, then shaded her in.
I made a little stand, so she would stay upright, then glued her in place.
I then added bits and bobs from my stash, hessian, green stringy type fabric, no idea what it is called. I added a couple of twigs, flowers, along with a couple of green mesh cones I made that I popped a couple of pearl beads in. At the back I added some pieces black ostrich feather, finishing off with the pretty gold butterfly.
With the glass dome off.
Closer look at the top of the cotton reel.
Always mixed media but with a colour option...a prize for the Winner too.

Sandie, this is I'm sure a LOT prettier to look at now! Wonderful work here, I'd have a mess in no time -- haha, no time for me. Ok, I'll stop now. {winkwink} Hope you are staying well and safe and warm! XOX
