I will not be caged

 

Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate it.

I'm once again joining Erika and her bird theme at Art Journal Journey for a bit of non-Easter art.

Obviously, I named this I will not be caged.  Detail images are below.



I started by cutting a used file folder in half.  Then I spread yellow craft paint on the folder.  I tried to use a brayer to distribute the paint, but I am brayer challenged, so the coverage is not the best.  Next, I added red acrylic paint and immediately created swirls with a hair pick.  Once dry, I adhered the gifted cage and the beautiful bird that I fussy cut from a birthday card I received last year.  It has beautiful gold where the scanner shows it as yellow.  I computer generated the sentiment.

For Day 20 of 22, I recycled a used file folder, and a fussy cut bird.  The cage was a gift.  As always, I appreciate your visit.  It means more than you realize.
