LOVE birthday gift

I have a special arty friend who always gives me gorgeous handmade gifts for my birthday. I saw this wooden word at Spotlight 

Covered it with a layer of gesso and then 2-3 layers of these lovely soft green paints

Then collaged on pieces of serviette with mod podge

some lovely found words

embellished with painted dots and inked stamps - seedheads are a favourite of hers

And now it's a lovely piece of wall art
