Ok, I made another Dream Box Journal. When it comes to crafts, I always want to make few of everything. This one has blue-green palette, but structure is the same. I will be selling this one in my Etsy shop.
Mixed Media Dream Box - Journal about dreams
Here is my finished box of Dreams, made with sturdy 300 lb paper, collage, stamps, sowing and embellishments. The only thing missing is filling it with my list of dreams I would like to come true and may be some quotes about dreams. Idea of 3-dimensional journal is very interesting, it's never going to be tucked away on the shelf with other books, but instead, like all sculptures will stand out and scream "pick me! open me!" Collage designed in a way that there is space to write my thoughts on, there are actually 25+ mini pages to write on, wow.
Few completed art projects.
Photographic project, titled "Day in my life" was fun and fairly easy one to do. I did some photoshop enhancement on the orange color and it came out quite well:
Made this cute sculpture of a folk owl-woman using air-drying clay and acrylics. Added pocket in front to hold something in, may be business cards? (Etsy Shop)

Mixed-Media Lanterns
I created these 2 mixed-media lanterns based on assignment given on 2nd week of Misty Mawn "Full Circle" workshop. They were supposed to be a bit more simple, but I went overboard with detail and layers. I thought I would like to enjoy looking at them not only at night, when they lit up, but also during the day. I painted faces in acrylics using pictures as references, added organza, vintage doilies, paper doilies, lace, beads and other embellishments. The insides we painted as well. And now, I light a candle and put it inside! (I only made 2 of them and after some consideration decided to sell them in my Etsy shop.)
