Home Decor blog hop

This is the project I created for this hop....

 

This is a wall mirror. I started with an unpainted wood mirror. I used two coats of gesso on the mirror frame to start with. I then added a coat of light tan acrylic paint. The feathers are torn napkins. I applied these feather napkin pieces with US Art Quest matte PPA. I inked a tag with brown ink and stamped the words on the tag. The words are from stampscapes. I stamped an owl image by stampabilities onto a piece of bristol board with black memento dye ink. The owl is colorized with Prisma color pencil and blended with Gamsol. I attached the owl with the PPA. I adhered pieces of sawed twigs that I purchased at Wal-Mart. When all the pieces were attached to the frame I brushed the whole thing with PPA.  I went outside my house and gathered fallen twigs and tied the together with african jute and then hot glued them to the frame. 
I had purchased the mirror awhile back and just had not worked on it yet. Faith's blog hop inspired me to get this started and finished.
