Mardi Gras


I haven't been in a very festive mood lately, but it is Mardi Gras- or will be on Tuesday, so I thought I'd get into the fun with a digital "mixed media" collage for Mixed Media Monday. It includes vintage photos, an embossed leather frame, new and vintage mardi gras beads and a wonderful vintage velvet mask and lame' fabric jesters hat.
This is also a late entry for last Week's So Artful Saturday

Laissez les bon temps rouler!

  5. I'm having trouble with my festive mood too. We're in the midst of yet ANOTHER snowstorm, and my freezer just went out! But...I digress. I like your harlequin background, and your masked carnivalites are superb as well. Good work!

  7. I learnt a bit about Mardis Gras doing this challenge - particularly the colours and beads which your piece showcases wonderfully.

  8. It's a lovely piece. There seems to be a nice juxtaposition between whimsy and serious, with the B&W photos getting the Mardi Gras treatment.
