Creative Artiste ~ #110 November Anything Mixed Media Goes

Hello lovely creative friends.. 

Time for Novembers Creative Artiste post #110.. 

our challenge theme is *Anything Mixed Media Goes*

My 2024 art journal is getting quite full so here's a page from it 

whilst I work out a better way of keeping this years pages together.

 

Stencilled and acrylic painted background a big full moon 

shines through torn paper strips dragged along an ink pad. 

They remind me so much of silver birch tree's as the 

light of the moon catches the white space.. 

 

The funky fox I stamped onto fabric and followed the lines 

of the image creating an embroidered patch colouring in with 

lots of fussy stitching using just a needle and threads.. 

We hope you will share your mixed media makes 

with the Design Team HERE and join our challenge

Stay safe & keep creative

Creative Artiste ~ November Mixed Media Challenge #99

 Hello Creative Friends 

May I introduce you to Creative Artiste November Challenge #99 

where our theme is ALWAYS *Anything Mixed Media Goes*

This month my journal page is created around a watercolour ink wash 

background, acrylic scraped paints, stamped, coloured and die cut 

elements with pen doodles stickles glitter glue and enamel accents. 

Anyone who visits my blog will know how inspired I am by nature, 

I love creating my own scene influenced by what I see around me.

In the midnight sky the owl makes a mighty statement in the 

spotlight of the silvery mica moon, surrounded by dots of glitter 

glue stars she flies above the changing landscape of her world.

A die cut skyline silhouette lies in the distance of acrylic trees 

outlined with dots and dashes of posca pen and enamel accents 

adding highlight and detail to this night time journal scene.

If you love to mix up your media please come and share YOUR 

creativity with us @ Creative Artiste November Challenge #99 

The team look forward to seeing your Mixed Media Creations HERE 

Stay safe and creative

Creative Artiste Anything Mixed Media Goes ~ Challenge #97

Best wishes this September to you all 

and the start of a new Creative Artiste Monthly Challenge

 *Anything Mixed Media Goes Challenge #97*

This month my journal page is created with a collage and 

stencil paste painted background, stamped Fuchsia Flowers, 

coloured with ink and pencil, cut and layered for a 3-D effect, 

surrounded by an abundance of luscious green leaves.

They remind me of childhood Summers and my Grandfathers cottage 

garden full of Huge Roses, Hydrangea and Fuchsia bushes filled with 

flowers like tiny ballerina's dancing and twirling in the breeze...

My own Fuchsia's are but a shadow compared to those of my 

late Grandfather but through the troubled weather this year 

they have still managed to bloom and produce fruit..

As Natures season of bounty is now upon us I will leave these edible 

Fuchsia berries to the birds and foragers that frequent my tiny garden..

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

we invite creatives to mix up your media and share your Creations

a large stamped and pencil coloured Monarch Butterfly stops to rest..

Autumn in Abstract

 Hello everyone 

I hope you all had a creative weekend? 

I had a whole Sunday to myself what a treat 

but with so many things on my creative to do list 

I was overwhelmed where to start or what to do... 

Looking through my online courses I noticed a bonus workshop 

had dropped into my Soulful Abstracts course by Laly Mille.. 

This is where Sunday took me. 

Orange is not my colour, you may be shocked by this as my 

Art Journey Journal theme is *My Favourite Colour is October* 

Nature wears Orange so much better than I ever could. 

This workshop takes you on a journey facing your fears of 

unconfident colour, introducing it into your artwork alongside 

colours you're more comfortable with which for me are mainly neutral.

Layering unfavoured paper scrap colours, scribbling on shades of 

orange neocolour II's. All blended into the background by finger 

smudging white gesso, random stamping and dark inky drips. 

I call this mixed media piece *Autumn in Abstract*

 

now I feel the need to create something in purple 😏

Wishing you all a very Creative week 

Hugs Tracey xx

WOYWW 613

 Hello creative friends, 

Three unexpected days of blue skies and sunshine kept me away from 

my crafty haven this weekend, spending all my free time in the garden 

having a pre Spring clean up and enjoying the warmth and fresh air. 

So there's not been much going on at my desk but after spotting 

my first Bee of the year I thought i'd sketch it. Coloured with 

ink, watercolour and pencil, those Yucca leaves still need some 

major tweaking, the're looking rather like green banana's 😂

That's what's on my workdesk this week... 

WoywW 613 

... and for pencil lover's out there don't panic that mine are all 

bottoms up, their wee noses are resting gently on a foam liner 

inside my mug, much easier to use when work's in progress 😉 

Look forward to seeing what you've been up to.. 

Stay safe & creative

AJJ ~ The meaning of ... Art

 Hello everyone, 

As Decembers Guest Host @ Art Journal Journey 

i'm sharing my second journal spread 

*The meaning of.. ART* 

I adore every aspect of art it allows me to explore, experiment and express. 

Nothing compares to the feeling of bringing a blank page to life with colour.. 

Collage and texture paste through stencils helps breaks up this surface 

where alcohol inks are dripped, sprayed and teased around the page. 

The stamped and painted brushes represent a small selection of tools 

I use to help me discover, demonstrate and make visual noise on a page. 

and not forgetting those paint tubes like little houses 

that help keep our precious paints all safe and sound.. 

Art it's within me.. like my beating HEART.. 

Stay safe & creative 

Hugs Tracey xx

WOYWW #462 ~ First steps..

I've been an admirer of the WOYWW for over a year now,

commenting occasionally on posts that have been brought to my attention

always wanting to take part but never brave enough to take that plunge..

Well today i'm doing it...

For those tidy crafters you may wish to avert your eyes hee hee!!

I don't have a dedicated area to create in it's something I aspire to have one day

so my future posts may be in different areas where ever my creativity takes me.

This is today's area, my kitchen table full of inks, stamps and stencils i've been using over 

the past couple of weeks during a mega card making session using up lots of scraps. 

There's also a little peek at some Design Team stamp sets 

being featured on Hochanda this Friday.

The Tic-Tacs and two old pound coins where found in an old coat pocket 

whilst sorting clothes for charity.. Just my luck to find two *Old* pound coins..!!.

Well there you have it albeit short but with a BIG Thank you to Helen (H) and 

Angela for keeping me updated and Julia of course for hosting.

I'm so glad not to be that fly on the wall anymore.
I'm off to visit those WOYWW posts now

Happy Crafting

Tracey xx
