The breath of nature

This is my project for the third stage 

of Mixed Media & Art's challenge" Creative Art".

"The breath of nature".

"We suggest you create any work in the style of a mix-media using ONE non-scrap 

material from nature and also one more obligatory element of this stage - LETTERS in any form." 

 You can find more details here.

 I created a mixed media project on a tree trunk slice.

I made a heart with polvere ceramica and a plastic mold

and a decorative element with gesso and a silicone mold.

I placed them all on the packaging board of agave fibers 

and I also put some agave fibers under the heart..

 I used a dictionary page and I circulated the greek word "δενδρον" which means tree.

 I used dry fruits and leaves from a tree of my yard.

 

I placed a piece of cheesecloth  at the bottom of the composition

and I stuck on it a metal peacock.

 I also used thread, cord, cardboard (the small leaves),

  

 lace, heavy body paste with a stencil

  bronze wire, bronze beads and 3d powder coarse.

I coloured everything with Artex powder pigments.

At the end I made white splashes.
