Abstract Mixed Media

I love to create and I wanted to incorporate painting into my projects, so I started doing some mixed media art.  Below are two works-in-progress.  Both are on 5" x 7" canvas board.  The purple and yellow has some collaged elements with the addition of tissue paper and cardboard for texture.  The other piece has a rice paper square with some Asian symbols.  I recently purchased Creative Paint Workshop for Mixed Media Artists and love the book.  It has a lot of information that is useful in creating a mixed media piece.
