Description
My very first attempt at making a mixed media/collage/altered art object

It is a small, wooden box which I painted with a turquoise acrylic wash. I then used some swirl stamps and white ink to decorate it. A view of the outside is here: [link]

I thought of adding more decoupage roses to the outside, but decided to leave it as simple as it is.

I had something very different in mind when I started it. I wanted a part of a songbook as the background, and found a poem from a German writer, Hermann Löns, famous as the "Heidedichter" (heathland poet), "The Rose Garden".

It is about somebody who wants to enter a secret garden where a rose is blooming, only to find out later that somebody else has taken it already.

I dropped my initial idea and just let the things flow from then on

I added a vintage rose from The Vintage Moth and applied some glitter to it. Below the rose is some paper decoration in gold.

On the right I glued a small tag with a stamped dove, the words "Au revoir" and some French text on the background, added a Fimo cameo, some ribbon and a dried rose.

Feedback is really appreciated!

Size: 10 x 7 x 4 cm
