Walkin' The Dog

Okay, don't laugh....but I was so inspired by Marta's "Mr. Chillin" assemblage art that I had to give it a try.  Assemblage art is when you make a three-dimensional or two-dimensional artistic composition by putting together found objects.  I had seen it before but didn't know it was a form of art that had a name.  After seeing her creation, I just had to give it a try.  I used some metals from Tim Holtz, Graphic 45, 7gypsies and Prima Mechanicals.  It really was fun and I surprised myself with what I came up with.  If you've never tried assemblage art before, you have to give it a try.  I think I did okay for my first attempt.

To see Marta's blog and video for "Mr. Chillin" here's the link:  http://artistycrafty.blogspot.ie/2015/03/assemblage-canvas-for-finnabair.html
