Creative Artiste November Challenge ~ #77 Anything Mixed Media Goes

 Hello Creative Friends 

Time to welcome you all again to

*Creative Artiste's November Challenge #77* 

our theme is ALWAYS *Anything Mixed Media Goes*

This month I share another of my quirky handmade pots 

inspired again by Toni Burt and her amazing pottery skills.

Created using an empty glass pudding pot and metal lid destined 

for the recycle bin. I moulded clay around the glass pot and lid.

 

Leaving space for a magnetic die brush to sit, decorated with rice paper, 

making marks into the clay. Sadly during the drying process the clay split 

leaving a large crack in the outer clay. Continuing to paint up with black 

acrylic, dry brushing with antique silver and a protective varnish coating. 

I chose to make a feature of that crack adding a fashioned paper buckle, 

hardware to compliment the brads with its rice paper and colour combo. 

I'm really pleased with this little pot, 

it's proving very handy in my workspace. 

If you have a love for mixed media and use more than 

three mediums in your creations please come and share your 

mixed media creations with the Creative Artiste team HERE.. 

Wishing you all a safe and creative month ahead.

Creative Artiste's *May Mixed Media* Challenge #71

Hello Creative Friends, 

First Friday of the month so time to welcome 

you all to Creative Artiste's May Challenge #71 

our theme is always *Anything Mixed Media Goes* 

Today i'm bringing past things into the present... 

This ATC is the last of a bunch made for gifts in 2020. 

Created by stamping the Lily onto MDF the image was traced 

using liner pen, painted with distress paint then covered with 

UTEE and heat embossed several times to create a tile effect.

Making use of a broken picture frame onto it's backboard texture paste 

is pushed through a stencil then painted in colours similar to the ATC. 

Distress ink is painted through the same stencil onto the inner mount 

with it's aperture painted and edged with tarnished brass. 

The outer frame is painted in petrol blue with corner fastenings 

attached to help strengthen the frame with it's missing glass.

Reassembled the ATC becomes the main focal with offcuts of lace 

glued into every corner to compliment the finished redesign. 

I love the vibrant colours of this mixed media frame.. 

Such a cheerful creation.

Creative Artiste's Mixed Media Challenge #70

Hello Creative Friends, 

It's the first Friday of a new month so time for me 

to welcome you to Creative Artiste's Challenge #70 

our theme is always *Anything Mixed Media Goes* 

This month i'm sharing a hand sculpted clay pot 

I call her *My Year in Dungaree's* 😊

Behind the scene's i've been working with lots of clay this year. 

Thought i'd share this piece inspired by Toni Burt. One piece of 

air dry clay sculpted into shape it was important to make it's 

shape as organic as I could to resemble my worn out dungaree's. 

Adding stumpy feet to the base, mark making seams and creases

she was left to dry for days before sealing and painting.

The blues in this treasured napkin gifted to me by my friend Dorthe 

really complimented it's design. Sealed again with matt gel medium 

she was ready for some extra embellishing.  

Lined with gilding flakes she wears TH hardware 

and a fashioned Jeans button crafted from clay..

I'm not sure if this little video will work but 

if it does it will give you a 360 view and show 

areas hard to photograph like her saggy bottom 😂

Filled with treats she's a good craft table companion.
