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

Creative Artiste Anything Goes ~ May Challenge #93

Hello crafty friends

A warm welcome to Creative Artiste's May Challenge #93 

where our theme is always *Anything Mixed Media Goes*

This May I share three ATC's created using paper collage 

and fabric scraps. Each fashioned into a mini scene with 

beads and die cuts, fabric paint washes, posca pen doodles 

along with hand sewn and free motion embroidery detail.

If you like to mix up your media do come and share 

your creations with the Creative Artiste Team HERE 

Wishing you all a happy, safe and creative month ahead 

Hugs Tracey xx

Nature is HOME.. take care of it

 Hello everyone 

*Happy BEARTHDAY* Elizabeth... 

I hope you have a bright and beautiful Earth day..?? 

As Elizabeth hosts her Recycle ~ Reuse ~ Repurpose theme 

@ Art Journal Journey I thought I would share 12 junk journals from 

last year one for each month all created using recycled materials. 

This year I continue to use/reuse when creativity comes to call..

 

A play today in Aprils Junk Journal stamping and painting on packaging, 

inserts and wrapping paper pages whilst using drying up paints..

I loved how the untreated paper thirstily soaked up the rainbow colours. 

Take care of yourselves and each other..

Creative Hugs

Mixed Media April Challenge ~ Creative Artiste #92

Hello creative friends 

Time again to welcome you ALL to 

Creative Artiste April Challenge #92 

our theme is ALWAYS *Anything Mixed Media Goes* 

My April project is a mix of left over paint and paste scrapings, 

stamps and doodles, recycled packaging, fibers and plant waste. 

The glitter paste mosaic circle holds a rainbow of watercolour as 

washes of colour seep into the unprimed areas of my journal page. 

Acrylic leaves and flowers painted on cereal box waste are fussy 

cut all given a doodled edge then glued down to frame the pages.

Finished with a stamped and coloured funky fossil bunny 

peeping out from the long grasses created using leftover die cuts, 

fibres and cuttings from salvaged and pressed house plant leaves. 

If you love mixing your media why not share your own creations 

and join in with Creative Artiste's April #92 Challenge 

remember *ANYTHING Mixed Media Goes*

Whatever you are all up to this weekend

I wish you all a Happy HAPPY Easter 

Stay Safe and Keep Creative 

Hugs Tracey xx
