 Time for another great challenge at A Place to Start with is our first challenge of 2023.  

 The theme this month is.

 ANYTHING GOES
Sponsor:
Mirtillamente

This is my project for the challenge. 

I am playing Anything Goes

I used a lid from a wooden box for my canvas for my mixed media collage. 

I added for my background a sheet of nuts and bolts paper which I coloured with my distressed inks, then I proceed to add my elements to the collage.  From my stash I found some 7 Gypsies elements (sewing machine and basket) which I added to the project.  I had a collection of sewing rubber stamps that I used for the other elements for the collage along with threads, metal corners, and some packaging. 

I trimmed the project with some metal tap and added a hook to the top out of part of a metal napkin holder.

I used a silver metallic pen and a black sharpie to outline and highlight the images.
