I glued down, some macro and micro artstones, some pieces of faux green...

 

I used some metal embellishments, cloth flowers, plastic leaves, more faux green and crystal wired balls..

I painted them, using: gesso, acrylic colours (scarlet, vermilion, orange, lemonyellow, yellowmid, yellowdeep, green, burnt sienna, brown); magic clolours (turchoise, orange, light pink); galactic metallic pink

I added, a bird, next to the squirrel...
