Mixed Media Canvas

I was feeling a bit meh yesterday, 
just couldn't get into any sort of mood to do anything, crafty or otherwise, wanted to create but it wasn't coming, i got as far as adding the string , some paste through a stencil and hessian to this canvas and that was it, full stop.
so i asked Louise to give me some prompts, she did this before for me and it worked great.....so Louise said......
Lady-brown/pink-leaves and wood

so this is what i came up with....
some twigs on the left hand side, on top of my hessian and string!
then i layered up some cogs, a huge leaf and some smaller ones, a clock face and a feather all in mdf.

i gesso'd it then painted it all brown, added some pink mixed media ink and water to get it all moving around, after some messing and lots of drying i was happy with the colours, i then added some dry brushed bronze paint.
then my picture, girl rather than lady but lets not be picky lol
and some brown flowers.
finished off with some watered down bronze paint splatters.

its a lot brighter IRL but i just cant get the colours to show up well in these photos!!!
