The letter M.....

The Craft Barn Alphabet Challenge continues, my but a fortnight goes so quickly. This time it was the letter M but only letters between MA and ME(inclusive) could be used. This is the nice twist to this challenge to stop you working ahead or just using something you have on hand.  Being left handed I started at the end and was tempted by mezzotint for a moment, mainly because it is a nice word to say  but I decided that was a bit beyond my capabilities and then I came to "melange" so...here it is.

The dictionary I am using (which is quite old) defined "melange" as "a confused mixture", which sounded a good fit for me. I used a gelli background and then plundered my stash of Sunday supplements for images to collage, I did toy with the idea of only using images starting with M but couldn't find any, it was interesting to find how repetitive these magazines can be. The word is made up from a stencil I bought in the V&A shop children's section. Tag cut with my Sizzix and decorated with my tiny stamps.
