Creative Artiste #108 ~ September Anything Mixed Media Goes

 Hello Creative Friends 

First Friday of the month means a new arty challenge
our theme is always Anything Mixed Media Goes 

My Design Team Project is another homage to the beauty of nature


Inspired by the Brown Hawker Dragonflies that dart at speed from 
my local canal to the nature reserve this time of year, I made 
use of a winged brooch in need of a body transforming it with 
extra gem stones, wire and paint to a dragonfly. 

Resting peacefully on scrap fabric framed by a wooden medallion.


The journal background is created from torn collaged papers, 
stamped and stencilled with the addition of washi tape, gems 
and lace with of course some stitchery detail...


Always fun to create using a mix of media.. 

Please come and share your creative mixed media makes 
our challenge is always *Anything Mixed Media Goes* 

Stay safe & Creative 
Hugs Tracey xx

Such a stunning homage to nature, and your brown hawker dragonfly looks so beautiful sat on the medallion frame 😊. I love all your stitching too, it provides such lovely detail and texture - perfect! I hope you are well and wishing you a Happy September ❤️. Hugs, Jo x

This is gorgeous Tracey - I love those pastel colours behind the dragonfly. I'm a bit squeamish when it comes to flying insects but your dragonfly is beautiful.

Absolutely fabulous journal page, love the collage background, texture and absolutely beautiful Dragonfly-we had two beautiful ones mating over our small pond-in an after-noon too lol. Thank you so much for your lovely comment on my Daughters art and passed the message on -the comments give her incentive to carry on.

That is a fabulous dragonfly Tracey. I love those wings. And the beads too of course. What a lovely journal cover you created. Is it for your September journal? I see some beads peeking out of the bottom also, and they spark my curiosity. I hope you had a fabulous August and summer. It;s hard to believe it is not fall. Take care. hugs-Erika
