Creative Artiste ~ March Mixed Media Challenge #80

 Hello Creative Friends 

our theme is always *Anything Mixed Media Goes*

This month my Design Team project uses fabric remnants, with a focal 
Daffodil cut from card, stitched and painted. A wool wrapped curtain 
ring represents the Corona or more commonly known trumpet. With hand 
woven button as the stamen it makes a bright statement of Spring.


The fabric scrap background is embellished with beads, stray threads, 
sequins, lace and buttons, all drawn together with needle and thread 
in both machine stitch and hand embroidery...


I loved watching it's design immerge and grow, 
it's incredibly tactile and so cheerful...

Turned into a mini wall quilt a gift for Mother's Day 
I hope my Mom will find it uplifting all year round.


What ever your creative choice of medium, be it a mix of fabric remnants 
embellished like my own. Paper, paint and stencils on a Journal background 
ATC's, mixed media cards, Tags or inventive altered projects we'd love 
you to share your mixed media creations with the Creative Artiste Team. 

Pop on over HERE to see what the DT have created to inspire you. 

I hope you will join our Creative Artiste March #80 Challenge 
and please remember it's always *Anything Mixed Media Goes* 

Creative Hugs and best wishes 
Tracey xx

What a tactile and dimensional piece of art and so very 'Happy'. The daffodil looks amazing and I love the trumpet and the hand woven button. Sure is a statement of Spring and I am sure your Mum will love it Tracey x. Clearly made with love ❤

This is such a clever creative wall art, Tracey! Your Mom won’t be able to help but smile and feel uplifted every time she views it. Your vision and implementation for the daffodil is amazing! All the background fabrics, laces and yarns are fantastic texture. And, OH!...the buttons!!! Really super Spring decor and inspiration!

What an incredible beauty. A stunning wall hanging and a beautiful daffodil. The design of the daff was genius. And the way you created the stamen was brilliant. SO clever and so well done, too.

Cheerful is such a great way of describing this beauty Tracey, it is gorgeous and I can just imagine how tactile it is. The daffodil is so striking and I love how you added the bird, it is just perfect accompaniment! The buttons and fibres add such lovely texture too, I am just drooling here. Your Mum is going to be so thrilled with this I am sure. Love, love, love! Big hugs my friend xxx

OHMYGOODNESS!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!! The Daffodill is "my" flower since I was little. My Grandpa named it mine, so it always catches my eye.
I'm super jelly because I am definitely not a sewing person- stitches here and there only. This is FABULOUS!!!
Thanks so very much for sharing this BEAUTIFUL make with us at The Funkie Junkie Boutique "For the Love of Mixed Media" Challenge.

Oh my! Tracey, I am so sorry I don't know why I haven't been to see you for so long I just seem to have been so occupied with the family stuff that I've only just managed to keep up with my own stuff and then I happened to pop on to the Creative Artiste and the guilt just flowed over me that I haven't been to see you or joined in the challenges, in fact I haven't joined in any challenges since last year. Who knows maybe I'll give it a go again. Stay safe and happy creating, Angela xXx
