Altered Mixed Media Board - Another Time

Time for another Anything Goes Challenge at Altered Eclectics this month.  Altered Eclectics is an altered art and mixed media challenge blog.  Hope you will join us in this challenge. 

For the challenge I have created an mixed media canvas using one of the images from Tim Holtz's idea-ology collection called Found Relatives.  Found Relatives is a collection of 24 vintage portrait cards that can be used for collage or mixed media projects. 

I really had a lot of fun making my collage.  I found in a garage sale a book of engineering drawing and designs that the home owner gave me for free.  It has very interesting drawing throughout the book.  I layered torn pages of the book to my canvas.  When you look closely you can see the drawing peak through. 

Closer look

My next step was to add some napkin pieces that had antique clocks all over them.  I did some stenciling with a couple of Tim Holtz's stencils then added a thin layer of paint over my collage and some stamped images.  Once I was happy with the effect I layered some papers I had collected including a couple of antique doctor's prescriptions that I found on a trip to Arizona.  The prescriptions were from the New York area and  dated about 1919.  That was quite a find for me. 

I also layered  ephemera papers from my staff  along with tags, sentiments, a key, a brad and clogs. 

Hope you enjoyed my project.  Thank you for stopping by. Remember to stop by our challenge blog to see the beautiful work of the design team.
