Anything Mixed Media Goes ~ Creative Artiste #124 Challenge

 Hello Creatives 

It's monthly challenge time @ Creative Artiste 

#124 Challenge ~ Anything Mixed Media Goes

This wasn't what I had planned to share today but 

this stamp set by Tracy Evans *Feed your Soul* 

I couldn't resist purchasing as the Silver Birch 

reminds me very much of the Tree 

outside my Moms window.. 

Created with lots of stencil work, paint and paste, 

the stamped image is painted with the Bird box stamped, 

cut and layered multiple times on the focal flip page.

Flipped over there's more paint scrapes, pencil and 

stencil first revealing a single lace lawn daisy and two 

stamped birds flying high, maybe gathering materials 

to start building their nest..

after months of rain flora and fauna thrive..

Spring is definitely beginning to show it's face..

Now time to share your creativity @

Happy Crafting 

Take care & stay safe

Make your own background 

Create what you love from Spring through to Summer..

Hello everyone, 

Way back in April on a mission to make a dent 

in a stock pile of MDF and a plan to replicate  

something i'd tried 30 years ago I created this.

 

The first of three faux ceramic tiles..

triple embossed with clear embossing powder I really 

loved how the powder sank into the design when heated.

At collage we'd draw our designs on clay tiles 

tracing their outline with a process called tube lining.. 

I can still feel the frustration of making mistakes 

and having to scrape off and start all over again. 

This daisy stamp by Tracy Evans is a stunning design 

the perfect image to stamp and retrace with a liner pen, 

The opacity of gouache is ideal for painting out areas not required, 

with the ability to reactivate again with water when dry, a huge 

advantage for this tile that had lay unfinished since May.

Introducing a touch of stamping back into the open painted 

design and then like the first tile it's triple embossed. 

The high gloss really does bring it to life.

As Spring moved into Summer with a vision of uncut grass 

that lay carpeted with lawn daisy's my June tile came to be. 

Using the same process and paints with a subtle colourway, 

when embossed this final tile became my favourite of the three.

Which one is your favourite? 

I really enjoyed creating one tile each month and although 

I only intended to produce three, i'm not sure my 

faux ceramic tile journey is over just yet. 

It's much easier to create them this way than 30 years ago..

Creative wishes
