CCC #30 Altered Metal with Paint

I love this week's Compendium of Curiosities Challenge from Studio L3. This is going to be part of a book cover so it's only partially finished. I grabbed a TJ background I had laying around (I believe this one is an oil pastel technique) and some stamped lilies to go with my metal butterfly using the CCC technique with stream paint dauber and pearl violet Lumiere. paint. The butterfly is cut from a tin lantern that no longer works and I embellished with some wire and beads.

  6. Rachelle, this is gorgeous! It's the definition of "peaceful" and the colors are so inviting and beautiful. The altered metal butterly is fabulous, and what a great way to upcycle some tin. Great job, my dear!
