Blue canvas - Mixed media

 

 

OOHH!!! So love this canvas!!  This was the result of stagent week with nothing creative to produce. Cleaned up my desk and pulled out an old Christmas canvas I had started 2 years ago and never finished. I had a napkin with 9 sqs on each  quarter..red and gold xmas stuff...I had cut and mounted and distressed each sq and stuck it on each end of the canvas with a big gap in the middle....and that's how  it stayed for years.................I  then stumbled onto luvleescrappns utube of "mixed media jumbo tag" and inspiration was born!!!!yippee...!!!

what I did..................painted the whole thing in blue(French blue jo Sonja paint)

bubble wrap stamped in a white blue mix paint

paintwashed book pages and stuck on here n there

Dusty attic flourishes blue/silver and TH ink, caramel

Made the flowers from denium and painted up some nylon ones and painted cheese cloth

stuck on bottle top magents ($1 6pkt from warehouse stationery) Bling of an old pair of sandels

Kaisercraft blue small flowers painted with more paint

Birdcage TH with little flowers and feathers from Brenda

skeleton leaves, tin décor, key and painted corrugated box and look and my Corrugated flower...Tim Holtz die and I intended to peel the paper intirely off, so after I had peeled up 2 or 3 petals....I thought HEY!! that looks good! so that gives the uplifted petal effect. And just slapped on some paint very randomly  and glued to a denium flower base.

added lightbulb and words and Dusty attic wire chipboard painted silver.

Hope you love it and are inspired too...enjoy.

Bling - mixed media

This was a DT challenge for southern girls challenge. Ive used a magazine collage face and added a bling applique for clothing as a head piece. The silver part is a Chinese dragon. Used a lot of gelatos. have decided that gelatos are so worth it!!  Work is on a canvas.

Circles..Baby!

This layout is one I saw in an Australian Magazine about 5yrs ago and thought id have a go at recreating it. I have 2 copies of the same photo and cut out the subject of one photo.
Using many circle sizes ( glasses, cups, saucers, bowls etc) you lightly draw a pencil line around each until you have 5 different circles.
smallest inner circle after the centre piece is paint - using the stick end of a paint brush dipped into paint and dabbed on to paper and lifted off creates a great circle dot.
Second circle is created the same way using a larger paint brush stick end.
Third circle is created using punched flowers.
Fourth is a handwritten script saying, repeated.
Fifth circle is the paint dots again and brads and even spaces.

One just cant help but want to create this fantastic circle layout!!!!!!! Enjoy as I did and a big thanks to the lady who invented this layout whoever you are - its great!
