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 

Hugs Tracey xx

Creative Artiste #96 ~ Anything Mixed Media Goes

Hello everyone 

a new month means the start of a new challenge @ 

Creative Artiste where *Anything Mixed Media Goes* 

This August I share a journal page using part of an illustration 

collaged from a colouring book altered to create a wider scene.

Using pencil, pen and paint, texture paste, die cut wild flowers,

eyelet portholes and art stone pebbles and doodles line the towpath.

This was a scene relished in real time last month given a 

few days respite from care duties... the first in many years.. 

Let me take you on a brief journey and share life stuff that 

inspired Augusts journal page with a handful of pictures..

Taking to the water by canal boat 2 miles per hour..

hidden from wifi connections, cuddled by nature..

Visitors stopping by for breakfast.. lunch and tea 😁

Freya taking in the scenery..

a herd of horses run free on the horizon..

always only a short journey away from home...

It felt like a million miles away.. 

this really is life slowed down ...

I hope you can take a moment to share what inspires you this month 

and come and share your mixed media creations with us HERE

@ Creative Artiste's #96 ~ Anything Mixed Media Goes.. 

Wishing you all a safe, relaxing month ahead 

Creative Hugs
