Hello Creative Friends
Did you take time out for you this Christmas??
This is my penultimate page as Guest Host @
I'm sure you've all guessed by now why my website is called
Hotchpotch Creations, I find it hard to sit still with one
medium, there's so much to learn, explore and mix together.
As a mixed media artist the importance of experimenting
with things is vital, it explains what mediums can do with
surprising results at times and helps me work out how to
bring the vision I see in my head onto my page.
Curiosity gives me confidence to create in my own eyes..
Starting with a stampendous owl's face he peeps through a torn page
stained tea water & layers of modeling paste sprinkled with loose tea.
Smudges of expanding foam heated and scraped using a fork,
I revisited this page many times before I was happy with it's
bark like effect. Painted with distress paint and a coating of
clear gesso a stamperia bark stamp fills in any gaps.
Making an impression in a piece of wet clay
using a Tim Holtz red rubber stamp it reads..
*Replace Fear of the Unknown with Curiosity*
Painted and attached to the tree bark page
I used my finger like a paintbrush smudging green paint
down the page, replicating tree moss and lichen.
Thank you all so much for joining me and sharing
your wonderful creative talents @ Art Journal Journey..
Stay safe & ever creative
Hugs
