Creative Artiste *November Mixed Media Challenge* #66 ~ Anything Mixed Media Goes

 Hello Creative Friends, 

It's November Challenge time @ Creative Artiste 

where it's always *Anything Mixed Media Goes*

Come share your Mixed Media Magic HERE..!!

Determined to create something using past left overs and with 

Remembrance day in the forefront of my mind. I came across a 

calico panel obviously an idea started but pushed to one side. 

Along with three Darkroom door Poppies they made perfect 

companion for my November mixed media make... 

Lets get started!!

Glued to a 4 x 7 canvas I extended the scene using 

jute, burlap and loose fibres along with lace offcuts 

and organza strips. Defining the details with the help 

of pencils, paints and inks. 

Layering all three Poppies together, attaching to a 

twisted wire stem, calico leaves cut and painted 

from cotton remnants help design one single Poppy.

The teased jute ribbon highlighted with white gesso 

reminds me of rural fencing against the landscape.

I loved making this significant and personal piece 

with family & friends firmly in my mind.. 

Stay strong everyone *Hope Shines Through*

We will Remember...

Good Morning Creative Friends..

I'd not planned on sharing this piece but as today is Remembrance Sunday 

and the Centenary of the end of the First world War it seemed appropriate.

Inspired by the book Warhorse, I introduced those modern mechanical 

workings from the stage show into my Horse study using glue and 

gave the Horse a watercolour wash when the glue began to dry.

The journal background was created using structure paste, old brown paper 

and seed beads I'd rescued from a broken vintage necklace.

With those raised glue areas dry and highlighted with metallic pen, 

I tried to capture the silhouette of Soldiers along the horizon within the eye.. 

Painted and layered scraps of paper form the Head collar,

with brads and punched holes added for extra detail.

Brown paper, ribbon and twine give dimension to the Horse mane

graced with one single poppy OUR Symbol of remembrance.

Written words are just one paragraph taken from *For the Fallen* 

written by Laurence Binyan and one I think most have heard before.

For the past, present and future 

We WILL Remember them...

Wishing you all peace on this day of memorial.
