MMM – On the Wings of Love.

Well, I get to play Guest Host again today over at Mixed Media Monday… and I challenge you to create a piece of art (in any format), using “On the Wings of Love” as inspiration.
I chose this theme because it illustrates this mixed media canvas which started as a Layer Love Lesson, on canvas, and [...]

1001 Nights!

Bedtime Stories is this week’s theme at Mixed Media Monday, and the wonderful quilter Beth, has created the most gorgeous example to inspire us – “Babes in the Woods”.
I have been practising image transfers in my altered art journal and had chosen a pic from an article about the Mayans, where a man is laying [...]

“I am Woman”

Just like the Helen Reddy song, Mixed Media Monday’s theme is “I am Woman”… I had a fab time with this bold, red double page spread. I think I’m getting the hang of this art journalling thing! This made me so happy when I had finished it – the gorgeous face is from a magazine; [...]

Fashion-able…

This week Diane set us the theme “Fashion” over at Mixed Media Monday. I’ve taken the green path with my interpretation and made this altered journal page entitled “Tis fashionable to “Grow You Own” nowadays…”

This started out really differently – I had used very muted tones and a few collage elements, experimenting for the Supernova [...]

The Heart of the Matter

Mixed Media Monday – “Pink”  Another page of art journalling in my altered book…

I used paint I had left on my palette from the canvas I’ve been working on to create this simple journal page. I think I’m getting better at letting go and going with the flow. This phrase was in my head today [...]

Hold me closer…

Mixed Media Monday – this week’s challenge is to create a piece of art based on/around a song, or piece of music that moves us. I’ve created using Elton John’s ”Tiny Dancer” before and it still haunts me. This evening I was talking to DD about her future plans – so much pressure on kids to [...]

Metal Marie….

Metal Marie…. for Mixed Media Monday’s “Metallics” theme. I keep hearing T Rex singing ‘Metal Guru’ though! I have had a thing for slide mailers recently and this is one I made with Ten Two Studios products and some good old ‘bling’!

And the rest of it:
I have found that the biggest problem with adding little [...]

“Death becomes her…”

Remember that film? I never watched it but as soon as I received these images from Lisa, I knew I wanted to create a double slide mailer with some of them! Mixed Media Monday’s challenge this week was set by Anni (Anni’s Fabric Art), who asked us to use something ’round’ in our artwork. She [...]

Technicolour Sunset!

Mixed Media Monday’s Guest Host this week – Beth – has made the most delightful quilties, depicting what “Time of the Day” means to her… My take on this challenge was to draw my interpretation of sunset, which is by far my favourite time of day, using a charcoal pencil, Neocolours II soluble crayons and [...]

Memories of Venice

Diane at Mixed Media Monday has challenged us to use “stitches” in our artwork this week. Lately that seems to be no issue for me, as I have been happily using my sewing machine again. Yesterday I found a small piece of fabric which inspired me to create this piece.

The images are from Ten Two [...]
