Hope you had a wonderful Easter!
It's time for MMm's Creative Tuesdays. The theme this week is 'Pastel Colours'.
This is an 8.5 by 11 inch mixed media piece. I used construction paper, acrylics and tracing paper (the white pieces) to do this Teddy Bear Reflection. My husband M didn't 'get it', I hope you do!
I found a nice quote to go with it:
For light I go directly to the source of the light, not to any of the reflections - Peace Pilgrim

| Teddy Bear Reflection |
I was inspired by these old stickers I was using to make some quick Easter gift tags. First, I made a teddy bear stencil and then cut some pastel coloured bears out of construction paper. I glued them to yellow and blue construction paper and then painted a light tan colour under the bears. The final step was to glue strips of tracing paper to simulate rippling water.

The other day I noticed the paper had folded over, and I liked the way it showed the reflection more clearly, what do you think?
