Work Pencil Holders

These were my first attempt at mixed media, and they started my mixed media adventure.  Both pieces are on my desk at work.  Also created a matching vase and frame (not shown yet).

• Recycled Paper Pencil holders:  Originally these were green and super sun faded.
• Acrylic Paint Colors:  Blue, Black, Gold, Silver, Bronze, etc.
• Embellishments:  Metal, paper flowers, buttons, beads, hot glue molds, wood shapes, etc.
• Texture:  Paper towel, texture paste, paper die cuts - I found that the more expensive paper towels keep the texture better.  Dollar store paper towel don't work well.
