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*

Happy Friday Creative Friends

It's Challenge time again over at Paperbabe Stamps 

and what better way can there be than to start the creative 

ball rolling by offering a Flowers/Garden theme Challenge.

Here's my Paperbabe DT creation and how it came to be... 

Onto a plain cushion cover I scraped on fabric paint, mark 

making by pushing those fabric paints through Paperbabe Stencils. 

Those pops of yellow remind me of bursts of springtime sunshine!

Stamping the Doll Face Stamps onto fabric gives strong 

guide lines perfect for a little embroidery.

The large Peony taken from the Peony & Bud set has been stamped 

onto rice paper and transferred onto the cushion cover using 

a washable fabric glue and painted with fabric paints.

I made a Peony fabric brooch embellished with beads and lace.

Sewing the embroidered face onto the cushion I added two rice paper 

Peonies to balance the design with the brooch taking centre stage.  

A flower border embroidered at the bottom helps to ground her, 

completing my Paperbabe mixed media Springtime cushion.

We'd love you to share your Flower/Garden designs over HERE,

Pop on over there's a Paperbabe prize to be won 

for one lucky participant.

Wishing you all a wonderful day.

Creative Hugs
