How does that wonderful saying go: if life deals you lemons, make lemonade? Tag Tuesday is asking to re-use something in your art work, and it really felt like making something new and bright out of old stuff.
The things one keeps, though!
I took out a carefully preserved wrapping paper from a gift three years ago. Also a blotched background with butterflies. And a tea wrapper (Chinese mini tea brick) that went with the colors.
The background was slightly dulled by gueing down a white tissue paper on top. After that came the tea wrap tissue that was sewn on, a fussy cut flower from the wrapping paper and some silver thread (which can't be seen here) - this is curled under the plant.
