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 [...]

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 [...]

Stars…

Diane chose “Stars” as her theme this week for Mixed Media Monday and has created the most gorgeous canvas to inspire us! I am taking a different approach and sharing a canvas I painted for a lovely woman whom I am proud to call my friend (well, our friend, to be truthful!) We see each other [...]

Seeing blue and green!

I’m Guest Hosting at Mixed Media Monday again! Diane is so great having me back and I do so enjoy picking a theme and seeing you all interpret it. I chose to paint an IKEA cheapie mirror a la Layer Love, using a new colour green I couldn’t resist – Viridian Hue – a gorgeous [...]

Charming junk!

EDIT:  Diane has had flu and was unable to post the usual challenge for everyone this week, so it’s now scheduled to appear next Monday – 27th July!
I’m Guest Hosting at Mixed Media Monday this week and I have created a little charm bracelet out of broken/recycled jewellery, beads and blue wire and some mini-domino [...]

MMM – Play!

That’s the Mixed Media Monday challenge from Diane this week… Play! She has made a beautiful inspirational piece too – and as she rightly says, it’s very easy to get caught up in technique, perfection and self-criticism, instead of enjoying the creative process for its own sake.
I’m not good at jewellery, hence I prefer the [...]

Tell me a story…

That’s what Diane asked for at Mixed Media Monday this week. She has painted a gorgeous canvas as an example and I have altered another giant puzzle piece!! The background is simply layers of glazes, using up leftover paint, and then I added a stamped image on text and a light wash with some gold [...]

Numbers

That’s the theme Patty chose for this week at Mixed Media Monday. I love the series “Numbers” – probably because Charlie Epps is really cute! (You gotta love a gorgeous geek!) I couldn’t make my mind up what I wanted to do with this piece till I decided to alter a coaster. Then I didn’t [...]

MMM – “Lace”

Mixed Media Monday this week… the theme is “Lace”. Here’s a small row house book – blanks from Ten Two Studios – that I created with Lacy Lingerie Collage set images and a couple from the Little Pink Things Collages sheets.
All the vintage ladies are garbed in lingerie and so there’s plenty of lace, but I [...]
