Creative Artiste ~ October Anything Mixed Media Goes #98

 Hello creatives

Time to introduce you to Creative Artiste October Challenge 

where our theme is always *Anything Mixed Media Goes #98*

My journal page this month is full of Autumnal splendor 

as October has always been my favourite time of year. 

Upon a collage and stencilled background I've created a woodland 

scene using die cuts of new and old along with unused remnants 

from projects created way way back in the past.

Rusty brown painted and enamel embossed die cut tree's and finger 

smudged inks surround a stamped on rice paper quote by Rumi: 

*Let yourself be silently drawn by the 

stronger pull of what you really love..*

A stamped, coloured and fussy cut Hedgehog makes her home 

nestled cosily amid leafy woodland layers... beautiful Autumn.

If you enjoy mixing up your media come join our challenge HERE

 

The team look forward to seeing your Mixed Media creations @

Creative Artiste October Challenge #98 ~ Anything Mixed Media Goes 

Take care & stay creative

A warm thank you to Elizabeth and the team for inviting me again 

and extra thank you's to everyone who joined me during October

I've loved visiting you all.  

So here she is my last October themed page.. 

I couldn't let October pass without sharing a portrait😊

A magazine face collaged and over painted modelling an oversized hat

 and scarf, against a painted backdrop of rusty reds and golden yellows. 

How I love the month of October, nature paints a beautiful scene.

and now it's time for me to enjoy the last of your October shares 

before I pass the creative baton/brush over to a new Guest Host 

@ Art Journal Journey... throughout November.

Many thanks to everyone who took time out from their day

Make your mark..

 Hello everyone 

October it's speeding along so I'm sharing a 

twofer today for my theme @ Art Journal Journey

two masked pages washed with my Autumnal watercolour palette.

 

Gathered leaves placed randomly into the watercolour area, 

painted over then just left to dry. A slow process this time of year 

but very much worth the wait when you peel back those dried leaves...

Something unique every time..

This page is destined to become bookmarks.. don't you agree??

Wishing you all a safe & creative week

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

My Favourite colour is *October* ~ Art Journal Journey Guest Host

 Hello Art Journal Friends. 

What a pleasure to be Guest Host 

again at  **Art Journal Journey** 

Thank you to the team for having me.

My choice of journal theme for you this month is 

*My Favourite colour is OCTOBER* 

In the UK Autumn is in full swing as nature prepares to slow down. 

Giving us her final burst of colour, this of course may/will change 

depending on whether you live in the Southern or Northern Hemisphere. 

Use her colours to inspire your pages just as I was by this Autumnal 

leaf napkin. Pasted upon layered scrap paper, book pages and lace awash 

with watercolour extra napkin leaves are fussy cut and scrunched. 

A machine stitched pocket with three little buttons display colours 

like natures traffic lights and bare a worthy sentiment for the Season. 

So I ask you to share what you see around you during October, 

you may be surprised by what it presents if you take a closer look. 

I'm really looking forward to seeing your 

*My Favourite colour is October*

Until then, stay safe & creative
