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*


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* 


For more inspiration please pop on over and see what the 
Creative Artiste Design Team have created and join our
 

I look forward to seeing your Mixed Media Makes. 

Take care everyone
Creative wishes

What's on your Wednesday Workdesk #596

 Hello everyone, 

Wednesday desk sharing day @ the Stamping ground.

Missed last week due to two missions of mercy first to 
release trapped washing mid cycle from Mom's machine 
then click, collect and deliver a new kettle to MIL, 
an essential essential more than ever right now.


Nothing more than mess & remnant's on this workspace.. 
Can't share any new makes until tomorrow 😊 


so i'll say my thank you's to everyone for my Birthday wishes 
and share this bundle of loveliness I received from Dear Dorthe. 
Beautiful card and mini book displayed open, hard to show all 
the details in these treasured gifts. Wrapped in a co-ordinating 
napkin now saved for a future make. Thank you Dorthe xx


Had some fabulous gifts for my Birthday including 
new pencils (I forgot to photograph) two online courses 
and this bundle of happiness *Sigh* 


Treated myself to replacement pencil sharpeners, 


and finally I just had to have this charming felted mini scene 
created by the very talented Maxine @ Tilly Tea Dance  
Now on my craft room wall.. so calming..


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

Take care & stay safe everyone
