Here is what I made using the January Frog Dog Studio kit.... 


The phone box (or booth as we say in the states) was so British inspired that I just HAD to do the British Flag on a canvas. The pleated book paper was used for the center of the Union Jack . I colored everything that was red or blue using the Liquitex Acrylic Inks that came in the kit. My phone box needed the crown like most British ones have as well as a phone inside! I found a fun quote and added some stamps and number embellishments in the corner. The wire was added after my friend suggested it. I chopped off the tops of the clothes pins that came in the kit and colored them with the Mixed Media Ink to become little wire things. Ok, so I don't know the correct term for them... you know what I am talking about though! :) 

Close ups.... 




And a side view: 


Believe it or not I took some photos of my process... the majority of it anyway! I put together a collage of it.... 


I had so much fun playing with the kit from Frog Dog Studio I am going to have to get a subscription!! Get yours too! 

Now let's get hopping!
