Mixed Media Monday "ornamental Christmas


The theme at MMM is "Ornamental Christmas".
My contribution is a Gothic Arch which I made for a contest over at Gothic Arches. The frame is made of Polymer Clay, stamped and coloured with mica powders. The background is collaged, coloured with dye inks and overstamped and embossed. The image I had in my collection and I cannot remember where it came from.

    I love the 3-dimensional look of this piece. The clay really adds to the piece.

    Astrid, I'm so glad you said how you made this. It is beautiful as an arch and how wonderful that it can be an ornament as well. Lovely work. The arch looks like it is made of stones. Love all the detail work in it.
