Creative Artiste ~ Anything Goes Mixed Media Challenge #120

 Hello Creatives 

our theme is always *Anything Mixed Media Goes* 

Autumn arrived and my October project shows how the beauty 
of the season inspires me. On a paint scraped background I 
stamped script, heat embossed with gold embossing powder, 
hand stitching around the edge using a variety of art yarns.

Gathered Sycamore twigs covered in Lichen are attached to the 
background with fabric leaves painted and enhanced with pencil, 
gilded and embellished with a mix of glass beads. 


Autumn truly is an inspiration..


What inspires you? 

The team at Creative Artiste look forward to seeing  
please come share your Mixed Media Creations @ 

Creative Hugs

Loving your autumnal project! The twigs and lichen look so beautiful as part of your design with those pretty enhanced leaves and sparkly beads 😊. All the yarns around the outside frame it so beautifully too. I hope you're having a wonderful month, Happy October and woof to Freya! Hugs, Jo x

If you'd asked who inspires you I would easily say you do Tracey. I love this piece - I'm trying to add more nature based finds into my work and love that idea of the branch. Such gorgeous colours - and I really need to try and do some sewing!

What a beautiful page Tracey. I love how you even used an actual twig. It looks great with the leaves. And those leaves looks great with the golden veins and the beads. Always nice to see nature sparkling. Happy October to you. I hope you have a lovely start to the month. hugs-Erika

Tracey, this is such a lovely page! The natural beauty of your gathered twigs complements the rich and vibrant leaves that you've created. The stitching is the perfect framing for this work of art. Happy October! xx Anita

Wow, that is beautiful. What inspires me, I would have to say my pain level has to be what helps get me in the mood to paint or craft. I hate it is that way these days but I have no choice. Found you on Rain's page and so happy, I have not found many bloggers that craft these days or if they do, they are crafting things that is not of interest to me
