Well, the panting didn't become a bag or pillow.

 I ended up cutting out the woman and adhered her to foam, then glued her to the background. 

I used the frame that the canvas was wrapped around and attached yard sticks cut to fit and made a bench from them as well.

I gave her jewelry and some bird friends, oh and a crown of roses.

I made the flaming heat out of a sheet of Shrinky Dink. I cut it out, painted it and shrunk it, placing it on a fork before it cooled off to shape it. The fork was then twisted and shaped for the flames and placed onto a piece of foam painted gold. I wrapped some wire and a key around it just for fun.

Guess what? 

I won the Judges First Place Award AND some one bought her.

I named her Rita.

Now on to the next art project...small art for the OSLP program fundraiser. 

Also a Gypsy picture swap with some friends.

I love to make stuff
