Hanging Art

The Lessology Challenge this time is Hanging Mobiles.  On the heels of an element/atom project for youngest.... I wasn't to excited about making another hanging mobile. :)  But.... I had this idea to create some three dimensional birdcages and it snowballed from there.

The only tough thing was to photograph it. It was hanging from my light in my craft room and you can't see it well enough with out a backdrop so I had my son hold up an old table cloth.

This is the full mobile.

And a close up of the birdcages.

Memory Box has these gorgeous birdcage dies and I was lucky enough to be able to get one of them with DT supplies.  I decided to die cut Memory Box YuleTide paper making four cut pieces.  I distressed them with white acrylic paint. I folded them in half with the pattern paper side facing in.  I then taped them together.  Lesson learned would be to put the pattern paper onto a xyron sheet and then die cut. :) 

After that I added chunky crystal glitter to the birdcages and the top of the branch which my son said "cool" like frosty branches in winter.

I had two choices of birds in my stash but loved the glittery frosty birds so they were added to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by...
