Creative Artiste ~ April Mixed Media Challenge #81

Hello Creative Friends 

Welcome to Creative Artiste's April Challenge #81 

our theme is always *Anything Mixed Media Goes* 

Today my Design Team project is different from past makes, 

created earlier this year for a very dear friend going through a 

really tough time right now. This piece I never intended to share 

hence just one photograph... but today with permission I do.

*I walk with you*

 

On a tiered photo frame mount I painted a Spring woodland scene in 

watercolour, acrylics and inks, dotting Bluebells in gouache along 

the waters edge as golden sunshine peeps through it's cloudy sky.

The boot a hand drawn mini version from an art journal piece created 

last year is painted and detailed with coloured pencils, cut out and 

simply suspended in the corner of a painted wax gilded frame. 

.........

I hope you will join our Creative Artiste March #81 Challenge 

and share your *Anything Mixed Media Goes* creations HERE.

Creative hugs and the 

warmest of wishes to you all

Creative Artiste November Challenge ~ #77 Anything Mixed Media Goes

 Hello Creative Friends 

Time to welcome you all again to

*Creative Artiste's November Challenge #77* 

our theme is ALWAYS *Anything Mixed Media Goes*

This month I share another of my quirky handmade pots 

inspired again by Toni Burt and her amazing pottery skills.

Created using an empty glass pudding pot and metal lid destined 

for the recycle bin. I moulded clay around the glass pot and lid.

 

Leaving space for a magnetic die brush to sit, decorated with rice paper, 

making marks into the clay. Sadly during the drying process the clay split 

leaving a large crack in the outer clay. Continuing to paint up with black 

acrylic, dry brushing with antique silver and a protective varnish coating. 

I chose to make a feature of that crack adding a fashioned paper buckle, 

hardware to compliment the brads with its rice paper and colour combo. 

I'm really pleased with this little pot, 

it's proving very handy in my workspace. 

If you have a love for mixed media and use more than 

three mediums in your creations please come and share your 

mixed media creations with the Creative Artiste team HERE.. 

Wishing you all a safe and creative month ahead.

Paperbabe Stamps ~Picture Inspiration #119

Hello creative friends,

let me introduce this fortnights prompt as a 

new Paperbabe Stamps blog Challenge begins..

Picture Inspiration #119

Here's a mixed media journal page and how it came to be..

Acrylic paints splotched onto a book page duplicating the 
colours and pattern seen above in the prompt are transferred 
onto it's sister page by simply just closing the book.

Flowers from the Paperbabe flourishing hair stamp set 

have been stamped on the transferred image page.

fussy cut flowers glued down and colour matched

displaying a scattering of flowers teamed with flat back gems.

Stamped words from the Flourish and Grow stamp set 

help inspire and dress up it's new partnering page. 

Pop on over HERE to see what the Design Team have created 

and come share your journey with the team...

Keep safe & stay creative

Sharing the love over @ Art Journal Journey 

with Hostess Mia and her theme Flowers

Good Morning Flower.

Good Morning Flower!

I couldn't wait to use this Rubber Dance Bonny Bunny Stamp again, I've used it so many times this year as it resembles "Bingo" a Bunny my Daughter was given on her 8th Birthday. Everyone who every met him can recall his cheeky character and mannerisms.

Here is my "Good Morning Flower"

In words and pictures..

Stamped three times I painted the Bonny Bunny Stamp with a mix of 

black and white multi surface That's Crafty paint.

I painted a 5 x 3" plywood art pallet in Almond and Antique Mum 

acrylic paint and distressed with a hammer (Very therapeutic!)

I added back the finer detail I lost whilst painting by laying over the cut out images 

onto the stamp loaded up with archival ink. I could now begin to layer up the Bunny.

Layered and given threaded whiskers. I stamped and coloured two of the Rubber Dance Textured Flowers. Cut out I used a ball tool to add a little shape to the flowers.

After a quick fix with panel pins as the pallet really did fall apart,

I adhered the flowers around the Bonny Bunny.

  My "Good Morning Flower" project is complete.

I'm not sure how long this piece will sit on display before it is discovered by my 

Daughter but I must admit it brings a smile to my face every time I look at it.

Thank you for hopping on over.

Wishing you all a blessed Sunday.

Creative Hugs
