She is painted on a 12 x 12 Ampersand wood panel. I decided that I would try a faux beeswax finish so I followed a recipe that I saw in a book and I have to say that I wouldn't try it again. I will just go ahead and use beeswax. In fact, I could beeswax over the faux beeswax but I probably won't. The birds are collaged on. I actually painted them first and didn't like mine so I collaged---but I think I will try and phase in my own painted birds. The collaged ones just look so much better!

Martha, Collaged or painted your artwork always looks wonderful. It is good to try new things though, kudos to you for giving it a try.
Love this one, Martha! She has such a sweet expression on her face! Nice background too!!! I have to get back to painting more collages myself! Nice work! hugs, SueK
HI Martha! I love this girl...her hair so romantic and feminine!!
The birds always add such a sweetness...I hope you read my blog post for today since it was about you!
she has a very sweet face. i'd love to know what those little birdies are saying to her...(maybe they're talking about picking up some more supplies at hobby lobby!)
