This was a fun challenge for the newest Arts In The Cards trade with the theme of opposites. What can be more opposite than the cat inside the cage and the bird free outside the cage. It leaves you wondering who is lunch? The only fiber in this one is the used tea bags on the backside. No Stitching.
The background is two different layers of scrapbooking papers, cut out and layered. The cage and bird are clip-art that is colored, cut out and mounted on foam squares for dimension. The backside has tea bags applied with gel medium that I thought was going to be the front but it was too dull for the way I wanted these to look.

Hi Janice,Thanks for taking the time to clarify your position on leaving a link to one's blog when they submit a comment. I have to laugh because by profession I have an M.Ed and Taught reading comprehension—BUT I didn't read your fine print after "Post a Comment." Certainly, not to worry about porn…LOLAnyway, let's begin anew. I reside in Fort Myers, but my heart is in the Berkshires of Western MA. I've been here 9 yrs. I LOVE Sarasota; especially its art district! Again, your work is fabulous; I love your use of color and subjects. Keep on creating and good luck as you prepare your move and set up your new home–and hopefully new studio– in Sarasota.Pam
That is so funny….I love…Thanks for sharing.
