Upcycled car

The importance of recycling is more important than ever. The earth is struggling to maintain itself. I always have upcycled and reused where possible and this little toy car is no exception. After coating with gesso I used metallic paint and grey wax for the wheels. The flowers are all ones from previous projects I had to dismantle and reuse ! I used TH sprays to add droplets ! I used sand to create a rust effect . The flowers are a mix of fabric and paper. My niece now has the car as an ornament in her room !
