DABBLING WITH MIXED MEDIA

Good morning Peeps,
I decided to have an inky messy day today by dabbling with a mixed media project.
Now - I'm not so good with this. I see some awesome pieces of work in Blogland and on YouTube but when I try it I can never seem to get the composition right, but I am still plugging away LoL :-D
Here is a piece I made today to see what you think.........

I used corrugated card from a packing box as my background and then fished around for some other pieces. I took an image of a doll's head and fussy cut it and layered up in about 8 layers to make it 3D. Then I dipped it in my melting pot. It is quite deep but I had a small problem with the melting pot showing up the blobs of silicone I used to layer it, but it sort of looks ok.
The chipboard pieces are from 'Things To Alter' and the 'Imagination' word is a sort of thick card stuff. These pieces were sent to me by a great Friend.
Other materials are hessian,guitar string wires,  dry wall tape - which I also used to stencil the background, card leaves and a card key.

Thanks for popping in and I hope you are having a great crafting weekend.

I always do love all of your art work, mixed media to cards and ATC's you always to wonderful! I'm digging the look of the tattered burlap flower behind your awesome baby head! And of course the roses and skull :) Thank you for sharing your brilliant art work with us at LOC.
