Creative Artiste July Challenge #106 ~ Anything Mixed Media Goes

 Hello Creative Friends 

Apologies this blog post is late I have been away 

and unsure why this scheduled project did not post 

So lets treat this as a midway monthly reminder of July's

Creative Artiste Challenge #106 Anything Mixed Media Goes

My MM journal page is inspired by the Linden Tree 

It's Flower as fragrant as freshly laundered washing.  

with background a mix of papers stitched to a watercolour skyline. 

 the tree is created using wire snipped and fashioned to resemble 

it's trunk, twisted and heavily laden with glass and ceramic 

beads as it's leaves...  

 finished with a calming quote by John Muir stamped onto vellum 

*In every walk in nature one receives far more than he seeks* 

Hope to see your mixed media creations over @

Take care everyone, 

stay safe & creative

Creative Artiste ~ June #105 Anything Mixed Media Goes

 Hello Creatives 

It's again time to share a new project @ Creative Artiste 

First Friday of the month and a new Mixed Media Challenge 

Creative Artiste #105 Anything Mixed Media Goes June Challenge 

Inspired by the first bloom from my Rose Bush 

always a sign that Summer is on her way...

My journal page this month is a layered composition of substrates. 

Acrylic and watercolour, machine, hand stitch and salvaged papers, 

fabric, embellishments and a found tag... 

Bead embellished Roses adorn the rice paper covered fabric pocket, 

stitched and filled with a bunch of die cut watercolour flowers.. 

Nature always makes me incredibly happy, 

a subject I share as often as free time allows. 

Forever rewarding giving me so much more 

than I could ever give back...

Come share your creativity with the team and Guest Designer 

see what mixed media makes they have created to inspire YOU 

this June at Creative Artiste #105 Anything Mixed Media Goes  

Stay safe and creative 

Happy June Hugs

Creative Artiste ~ May Anything Mixed Media Goes #104

 Hello Creatives 

Welcome to Creative Artiste May Challenge #104

our theme is always *Anything Mixed Media Goes*

This month I share a simple Journal page, creating texture 

by embossing the page using an embossing folder layered with 

metallic paints inspired by nature, overlaying with embossing 

powders which I heated up to fix and add extra dimension... 

Reminding me of an aerial view of the coast line 

I added a Peacock Butterfly taken from a salvage napkin. 

I tore, pasted, cut then embellished it's wings adding glossy 

accents and then fashioned wire into little antenna feelers. 

Finished with a quote that worked like poetry in motion: 

*Stop to see the beauty along the way* 

We hope to see your beautiful creations @ Creative Artiste
