Celestial Dreams

Thanks to all of you who read
my musings and write me personally
or leave comments, I don't always get the chance to say it but
THANK YOU!

I've been playing with more Slide Mailers (hey, no groans! its been fun for me to see something old with new eyes thus new ideas!) and I used one of my alcohol ink backgrounds (from the slide show to the right) to use for the background of this piece.

Supplies Used

*I used a shallow cigar box lid that I painted with gesso to adhere the background and then the slide mailer. I used deli paper to cover the inside which is awesome it conforms to the shape inside really well! The image is raised up in the niche of the slide mailer with small pop dots.
