My Birdsong 5 Pocket Full of Posies Wall Art

The beautiful Lori Oles taught our Pocket Full of Posies 

nature-inspired wall art class 

 

 at Karla Nathan's Birdsong 5 event.

  As you know, I rarely finish my projects during class time as I enjoy the ambiance of the classes and like to finish my projects at home where I pull personal items from my stashes

to complete them.

Thanks Lori for your inspired teachings and your lovely kit supplies for the base of my creation!

Here's my finished Pocket Full of Posies nature-inspired wall art

 

I'm joining my friend Gail next week to finish our adorable

Miss Juniper June chicks from Lesa Dailey's amazing class.  I hope to be posting those photos next week.

Enjoy a wonderful day!

Mother's Memory Wreath

In June I attended Karla Nathan's Bird Song III event.
One of our projects was a lovely tag wreath class taught by Lori Oles .

Lori recycled cardboard boxes (I think she used unused pizza boxes) to cut out our wreath forms.  She then provided us with several ephemera items, laces, fabrics and taught us how to use templates with modeling paste to create depth and textures.

I saved Lori's ephemera items to use on a different project and chose to create a Memory Wreath for my mother.  

I knew I would not complete my wreath in class as I wanted to take it home and add pieces that reflected my mother.

Recently I did complete my Mom's Memory Wreath

 Some of the Mother's pins were pins she helped me collect.

 She loved Iris flowers and was Irish!
The cross and the inscribed brass tag of the Lord's Prayer remind me of her! 

 She was a devout Christian - she loved our Lord Jesus - she was a Prayer Warrior
She passed away in 2006 - I miss her.
