Father's Day art

Backstory:

A couple of years ago

my dad was driving home late at night

when he plowed into a full-grown moose at 70 miles per hour.

Miraculously, he walked away from the wreckage.

Since then we have had some fun

giving him all sorts of moose themed gifts.

It's part joke, but deeper down it's a reminder

that life is short and God is good

and that we should make the most of the time we have.

Here and now:

Last Tuesday

I randomly flipped through a vintage book

that I had stashed for future projects,

and I found a section about moose

which even included a cool moose picture.

Inspiration struck,

and in no time I found myself making the some father's day art

instead of working on laundry. : )

made from layers of

scrapbook papers, vintage book page and moose illustration,

 watercolors, my own calligraphy, and thread.

It's not a traditional card,

just a flat piece of art with a not written on the back.

He'll love it, though.

Linking up with the fabulous in the studio group

for the first time in way too long.
