Magical creature-mixed media wooden heart

inspired by mother nature, i created this heart, which i found at the 13arts shop.
first, i prepared the surface with white gesso and applied a thick layer of crackle paste. I let it dry natural for a few hours and started building the backround with some chipboardpieces and dried moss. 
then i placed the face and added small flowers and art stones. As glue i used heavy gel medium. Then i covered everything with white gesso. 
For the color i used some 13arts sprays and artalchemy waxes by Finnabair. To highlight the texture i used again white gesso. Thanks for watching

Finnabair inspired mixed media canvas

Bild
I'm a huge fan of Finnabair and i love her mixed media collages, and it was time to give this a try. I printed a picture of me on photo paper and glued it with gel medium on a canvas in size of 18x24cm. As the first step i used fixative spray to protect the picture and black gesso to prepare the rest of the canvas. Then i started to build my composition with metal embellishments, chipboardpieces and other small embellishments. After i glued all pieces with gel medium, i covered them with black gesso. As last step i added some artalchemy paints and white gesso to hightlight everything. products i used: Amsterdam black gesso Amsterdam extra heavy gel medium metal embellishments from Retrokraftshop chipboards from Snipart Finnabair artalchemy paints: 'deep water', 'opal magic pink blue', 'opal magic aqua rose' 'white pearl' Amsterdam white gesso

march Inspiration for Mixed Media Academy Challenge blog

Bild
Hi everyone! It's a new month and a new chance to join our challenges on the mixed media academy challenge blog. theme this month is again 'anything goes' mixed media except cards/tags/atcs. All details  here . As my inspiration for the challenge i created this art journal page. For this i worked in an old book. Old books are great for art journaling, they are cheap and easy to get and i just love this vintage look of the old pages and skripts.  I used white gesso to prepare the pages, fussy cutted some stamped elements and sticked them with gel medium. For the colors i used Lindy's Stampgang Sprays. For extra texture and insterest i added some strings.  this dragon-fly is stamped too. I glued it only in the middle to make it look a little dimensional. Thanks for watching, i hope you like my page and i could inspire you to create something for our challenge.
