"A little nonsense now and then, is cherished by the wisest men."
Thus A Little Nonsense was created.

I then added pieces of paper & washi tape to cover my "canvas".
I left it overnight to dry thoroughly.
Next came a coating of clear gesso.

To create my focal point, I added a piece of torn cardboard box
& my favourite butterfly, covered in Perfect Pearls.
Guess I didn't quite follow the lesson,
but I like it.
