Happy Birthday with Wings





Adding wings again!  I do love these transparent wings from Tim Holtz.  The background is an image transfer of a mushroom onto some graph paper.  I did not remove every bit of the transfer material because the image starting pulling away.  It gives the image a kind of misty look that I don't mind.  Next time I will stick the paper down before sewing - the project got a little 'puckery' when I sewed the elements together.  I had to do a little surgery with an Xacto knife and some glue.

I do love red and white mushrooms.  My Swiss grandfather would make concrete mushroom shapes and paint them red with white polka dots for our garden.  They gave our yard a very magical quality!
