This week on
Mixed Media Monday I have chosen the theme "past loves" to give everyone the chance to revisit something they have enjoyed doing in the past. I only use stamps in my art for backgrounds etc., these days, but I used to love to stamp, especially in an Oriental style. So that's what I did for this challenge. I really love the lush Yuzen papers and all the gorgeous embellishments, so I covered the box with the paper and added LOTS of embellishments. It was nice to revisit these - but I won't be staying long :-) Sorry my photos aren't very straight.

Hi Diane!
This is just beautiful - the blue background you created is so elegant and regal - perfect for your central image. It is really wonderful and I hope you don't give it up completely :) Kristin xo
Oh I think it is gorgeous!!! And I didn't notice if it was straight or not...it's so beautiful!!!
Hugs,

Terrific theme, Diane and what a beautiful piece of Asian art. Your Yutzen papers are beautiful, as is the image you selected.
Being an asian art lover, this is a joy to see, just beautiful!!
Gorgeous box- I love Asian design and this is so elegant! A wonderful theme this week too!
This is just beautiful! Love how you used the blue with the red instead of the traditional black. I'm often drawn to Asian stamps and have a few but like you I don't use them enough.
What a great theme Diane! Love your creation! especially the coin!

so awesome... and yes, the oriental style also got out of my mind...
Diane, that is sumptuously gorgeous! Yes the papers are lush, but that lady stamp is stunning!
I wonder what special treasures you are keeping in such a beautiful box?
Wonderful Asian theme, really a beautiful image.
Beautiful creation, the blue is so pretty
Your box is amazing! I too have a love for the orient! My past love is also Asian... I use to belong to an Asian group and some of my favorite pieces were Asian. I have not done many oriental pieces since I left that group but I still love it :)

GORGEOUS, Diane!
