Mushroomed Framed: 12"w X 11"h I have a passion for mushrooms. I wanted these mushrooms to glow. I used colored pencils in blues with white halos on black Mi-Tientes cardstock. I wrote the poem after searching the net for an appropriate quote which I couldn't find. I used my white mix (Jacquard Neopaque, FW Acrylic white and some water) and a layer of gold metal powder, using a script type nib. You can't see it in the image, but the white has this golden haze to it. The pic below shows the black mat with a white core and the black brushed metal frame. I love the way the white core emphasizes the halo. Won a 2nd place ribbon at the 2007 Calgary Stampede |

Poem:
A touch of loam, Live in shadow Asking nothing. Pokers and shovers Can't help ourselves; By morning's light We've multiplied. Excuse me, mushroomed.
