Are you enjoying the cross promotional pieces this month?  We've all been having fun playing with the Leaky Shed Studios chipboard, and today I've got a bird themed piece to share:
Here is the charming Barn Swallow with crown, and the chip is so sturdy, it's a delight to work with.  Here, the swallow is collaged with a layer of music from an Altered Pages Vintage Text pack, a little glitter, and the crown has a nice metallic sheen--the Art Anthology Acrylics are great for achieving some gorgeous paint effects.

Added a standard tag, cut down a bit

The Leaky Shed Bird Branch has several layers of paint and crayons

Thank you for stopping by--just a reminder, leaving comments on the Artsociates blog posts automatically enters you in the draw for the July drawing for a fun prize package!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
