Creative Artiste #108 ~ September Anything Mixed Media Goes

 Hello Creative Friends 

First Friday of the month means a new arty challenge

@ Creative Artiste ~ #108 September 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 

with the team @ Creative Artiste #108 September Challenge 

our challenge is always *Anything Mixed Media Goes* 

Stay safe & Creative

Creative Artiste August #107 ~ Anything Mixed Media Goes

 Hello Creatives 

First Friday of the month always brings a new Challenge 

@ Creative Artiste #107 ~ Anything Mixed Media Goes 

My August Journal page is created with lots of paper play, 

using the rather lovely Stamperia SunFlower Art collection. 

Fussy cuts and layering, paint pen and glossy accents 

all shine a light on that extra detail.

Air clay sunflowers painted with acrylics, flicks of 

dimension paste accentuate those golden wild riverside 

grasses with dots of glitter glue making those relentless 

no matter the weather wildflower poppy's shine through.

Edged with machine stitch topped with lace 

this is very much where I like to be ... 

My outdoor happy place painting or drawing

alongside my dog in Natures Magnificent Garden.. 

We hope you can join the Design Team HERE

our Theme is always  Anything Mixed Media Goes..

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 @

Creative Artiste #106 Anything Mixed Media Goes 

Take care everyone, 

stay safe & creative
