The first tutorial in ArtistClass Spring, and a beautifull Gift.

When I saw that Lisa from Tarnished and Tattered was one of the artists that offered a

tutorial, in Mary`s Artist Class, I was sure I wanted to take part in this wonderfull event for the 3 time.

Lisa is a dear friend, and she makes the most beautifull, and special art,-I love her style, and have several pieces from her.

She made a Mothers day collage tutorial for this class,

and here is my interpretation.

My center piece is made with packing tape transfer, as I did not have the actual

materials.It is mounted on many different laces, that are glued to an old book cover.

Here is the mother mounted on an old crystal

and the beautifull image from a magazine, a painting from

a danish painter.
