I made these! In about two hours (plus drying time) using what I had in the studio.
I used different base papers for each one, old ledger paper (left) and white card stock. Both papers held up well to the layers of collage and paint. These were fun and easy to make. I’m planning to make a village to display on the mantle and place battery operated tea lights in them.

Very colorful! Nice job.
Thanks Mary! I hope you have a chance to make one or two or a village. Cheers.
Marci, I thought of you today I don’t know why. I remember the early days of doing mixed media and we met in an internet group. So when I opened my email I was delighted to see your posting. I mostly art journal, make fibre art and embroidery. I am delighted to be a 3 week Grandma to a cute grandson! I hope you have been well and continue to make art!
Hi Donna! Thank you for the well wishes. Yes, I remember the early days of our mixed media group. Thank you for getting in touch and I hope that we can stay connected. I look forward to catching up.
Absolutely stunning!
