Mixed media

Here are some images of my first Mixed Media attempts.
They both are still in progress, so bear with me....

This is my very first woodburning attempt with a horrible heavy soldering device I found in the garage (I got a nice Walnut Hollow one on special the other day at the local Craft store, so I can't wait to start the next project)

The next photo is the Madame Butterfly story, she is way from being finished, but wanted to show you the progress:
