destination unknown-my creative journey

Hi everyone! I'm back with another mixed media creation. This time i altered a simple money box with lots of Finnabair products. I started as always with preparing the surface with white gesso. Then i applied modeling paste mixed with sand for some texture. After it was completely dry, i glued the embellishments with extra heavy gel medium and added some artstones. I covered everything with gesso again. For the color i used 'emerald green' metallique paint and 'violet gold' opal magic paint from Finnabair and hightlighted everything with 'white gold' wax.

hi everyone! I love tiny creations, i created tiny bottles, tiny art journal pages, tiny canvases.. now it was time to find another small surface to work with. I wanted to turn puzzle pieces into fridge magnets and I played with several elements around - small gears would be perfect as embellishments, so i had found the style for it. But what next? I spend some hours with experimenting and searching for a nice composition, and suddenly i found it... i thought about this one photo of my boyfriend, i wanted to use for a mixed media project. Yes, this would be great for a steampunk creation and i decided to create a tiny layout on a puzzle piece. I wrote the lyrics of one of our favorite songs on an old book page and glued it on the puzzle piece. I applied a coat of gel medium as a sealer. To give this project a little bit texture, i mixed finnabair artalchemy paint 'steampunk copper' with extra heavy gel medium and applied this paste through a stencil to my background. After ...

I saw so many beautiful projects with dreamcatcher in the last time, so i wanted to create one as well. I prepared the surface with black gesso and applied paste mixed with sand and 3d powder for a nice texture. Then i started building the composition with beautiful chipboards from snipart, flowers and many other embellishments,which i covered before with black gesso.  I used Lindy's 'sweet purple violet teal' as my backround color and then i played with some finnabair paints and waxes.  Products i used Amsterdam black gesso Renesans mica paste Pentart 3d powder Snipart chipboards 13 arts paper flowers Retrokraftshop metalembellishments finnabair mechanicals Lindystampgang 'Sweet violet purple teal' Finnabair 'plum preserve' metallique paint Finnabair 'unicorns hair' sparks paint Finnabair 'white gold' metallique wax Finnabair 'Vintage silk' opal magic wax

hello everyone! I'm back with another creation- alterered birdhouse made from chipboards by snipart. It comes as individual parts , that you have to glue together. For this i used tacky glue, but you can use every craftglue.  The first step was as always to prepare the surface with gesso- i used black gesso. Then i mixed texture paste with sand and black gesso and applied it with a palette knife. To speed up the drying process, i used my heat tool. Then i added some chipboard pieces from snipart, which i prepared with black gesso, too. For my composition i choosed two old brushes, some paper roses and regular artstones by finnabair. I glued everything with heavy gel medium and covered them with gesso. After everything was dry, it was time for some color. I started with some Lindy's stampgang sprays and used again my heat tool for drying.  For my embellishments i used some finnabair artalchemy paints and deluted them a little bit with water. To hightlight everythin...

today i want to show you my vintage art journal page, which is inspired by Marta Lapkowskas Youtube videos,where she used 'no art tools'. So i decided to try it myself using coffee and tea as paints. I started with preparing the pages with gesso and started building a nice composition with some stripes and pieces of old paper, washitape and diecuts from tim holtz. Then i added some texturepaste through a stencil and some stampings. After drying i decided to add some lace and brads and chipboard pieces. for the color i used strong coffee and cherry tea, which gives a beautiful red-purple shade on the paper for the chipboards i used a vintage blue-copper embossing powder
