Collage Something Recycled

The Documented Life Wk 9 Challenge - Collage Something Recycled
Planter


i started off by cutting down the see-thru box top from a Fresh Market bakery box. punched holes in the acetate part and weaved fancy yarn through on the left side. applied handmade washi tape from masking tape down around the edges. the flower strip is a piece of recycled envelope received in the mail then covered it with packing tape and added the words 'recommended mix' from a planter nut bag. next i added a little white sample cup after painting it to the center- decorated it with cutout circles of deli paper i painted using my homemade gelli plate. on top of that added applique purple tulips. tucked underneath it the word 'planter'. applied a punched out blue bird in the corner. beneath the see-thru acetate i boxed-in the words -
i
sowed
love and joy,
 peace,
patience,
and kindness.
he gave me
years of
devotion,
protection,
love
beyond
measure.
BELOVED.
