Cabinet of Natural Curiosities day Two.


(Click on image to view larger)
Karihosted day two of our Joint Cabinet Of Curiosities challenge. You can read about Day two on her blog.
I did the whole choose some words thing and I got such a odd order of doing the words which were (in order that I did them): text; paper; chalk; photo; 3D; paint.
I must say I am not AT ALL happy with the final outcome. I don't know, something just isn't right! Any suggestions? Maybe it is lacking more embellishments? Or maybe it is the type of brush work I did. I can't figure it out! Anyway..I tried!! I think I will give this particular challenge a go another time just to see how it works out next time!
I have been doing some ATC's. I put a few in frames to give as gifts. I am enjoying this so much. It is still a learning curve for me!

Fun stuff, Bonnie. I love the colors that you used. I hope you enjoyed the challenge. LOVE your ATC's. How gorgeous!!!! You are always so inspiring.

Hi Bonnie, I love the pink/lilac tones you have used but as I'm new to this and can only suggest 'text' which was in my random (odd order) list. I haven't finished yet but enjoying the process of discovery - I usually like to know where I am headed but this workshop fits in with the theme so well. Your ATC's are great.

I really like your collage a lot and don't think you need to change a thing. Love the colors. I can't wait to try mine out!

How intriguing! I nearly used a paper umbrella with mine also. I like the orange and pink (huge orange fan here) and I adore the middle atc! Very nice stuff :)

I love your challenge piece. If you are not happy with it why don't you just draw more prompts out of the hat and keep going. I haven't done mine yet, maybe tonight. Your atc's are wonderful.

Bonnie, I think that it is lovely, but I will admit that I cheat the process by choosing what order they go onto my collage. :D I adore those ATC's. Oh my, they are so darn pretty!!! smiles....

Bonnie
I love the soft colors and the flower print. I also enjoyed looking at your ATCs. I think I'm ready to start doing some.
I just posted my second project at

It's a new blog, as I've had problems with my old one. Please change the link to my blog when you have a chance.
Thanks

I really like your page, its theme and textures. However, I do understand your mixed feelings. I happen to feel the same way about my offering for prompt #2... I had so much fun exploring a different way to create though!
