Balancing ActBalance is the key to a happy life. Sometimes the rough, gray areas start to take over - but we always know that joy, beauty and all of the things we love are ready to break through.
Rust and tannin-dyed muslin, handmade paper with plant fiber and colored with reused gift tissue combined with botanically printed cotton (Japanese Maple and Crepe Myrtle). A rough-stitched acoustic guitar string wound into a circle anchors the piece. As with all art works, keep away from direct sunlight. |

This botanical mixed media collage is mounted on lightweight birchboard. Upcycling and re-use is always an element in my work, so I've incorporated a steel guitar string into the back of each piece as the hanger, along with a foam strip to support the light-weight birch board against the wall.
If you prefer, you could also mount the piece on matt or foam board and frame the piece. The guitar string hanger can be easily clipped off, and the foam buffer strip can be removed as well. I suggest an inside frame size of 12 X 12.
