Mmmmmmmm - Lunch

Well I'm still off work and still having "funny turns" but during the time I'm functioning I practice crafting. Aspiring to be even half as good as most people out there in blogland. Well this weeks creation saw me using acetate for the 1st time. I had some images from Tellen's Place Designs. Had to be different from other works of art I've seen this week. Well The Burtonesque Dolls have their first challenge this week and have chosen stripes as a theme and Tellen's Place want butterflies and/or dragonflies. So incorporating these 2 themes I came up with something a bit different for me. A box. Not just any old box though. Took a few piccies so it can be seen from a few angles. I wonder if Haunted House Designs will mind another entry - it is a different type of project.
The image is Devilen from Tellen's Place Design's. The branch he is stalking his lunch from is a scrap of old brown fabric I've had for years. I've torn some papers stripes and added to some of the sides so that they flow from one panel to another better. Three of the dragonflies are painted with acrylic onto acetate the other 3s wings are cut from paper on which I had mixed a couple of different embossing powders. The waterlillies added a bit more interest to the "water", now that I've had a little practice with homemade flowers. Rest of stuff from stash.
