Since Miz Frannie mentioned that she was getting together a little care package of bits and baubles for me to craft and create with/and had mentioned on another thread that I have started creating altered art images. ..I wanted to share with you all a piece of art work that I have nearly completed ..I used a bit of lace from a care package that Bonne had sent to me last week(Thank you so much Bonne!!)
I loved creating this piece and have named it "Rosalina"..that's the name that came to me when I saw the girls darling face.

Hey Tina, This is beautiful. The altered art world is wonderful, isn't it? It all just has that enchanting quality! You'll start collecting all kinds of objects now that you are into this area of art. Everything takes on a new perspective.
thank you Stephanie..I have long admired this type of art, and have wanted to just jump in and go for it..so that's what I'm starting to do. I have another image waiting for me to get started on..I have all the elements, just have to get them put together. I've always enjoyed dabbling with art/crafts of some kind..and yes..I think you are right..I'll be on the look out for all sorts of things. I actually had bought a really large handled serving tray(white) at a thrift shop the other day..with all intents of altering it by adding roses and other images to it..when Naomi says to me.."mom..that is a really nice tray..and if you alter it..you won't be able to use it for serving food on..and mom..that is a really, really nice tray" So....she's right..but..had she not said something..well I'd have altered that tray..but..instead that particular one will be spared..and I'll use it for displaying my tea set on and so forth.And ..it will probably be used at holidays for serving ham and turkey..it's that big. But..it will be another trip to the thrift to find white plates and anything else I can get my hands on to alter...ha.
