"Strength's" first Born...

Here is the first piece I did while under the influence of my new inspiration...  (All apologies for the poor photo quality)

There are some things I'd change & some parts I'd like to add more to, however, all in all this piece was so fun to create.  And that's what matters most I believe, loving what you are creating & having fun while you are doing it!!!  I absolutely love mixed media, and in this piece I got to use my paintings & crafting abilities.
