In my art practice, mixed media means just that - you can make art out of anything; mix it up! One teacher gave us a prompt: wood and told us to create art with wood. I came up with the idea of using wooden spoons. That idea synthesized into spoon flowers. The first photo shows one flower in production: you can see the spoons painted, the glass seed beads to decorate petals and a piece of costume vintage jewelry that will be the center of the flower. The second photo shows four flowers already completed. The plain brown one was the first before I expanded the idea to include other kinds of media - jewelry and hand colored paper.
