Hi Crafty peeps,

Am here today with a Mixedmedia Tag. Attempted for a textured base, which mimiced a galaxy look a bit, at the end of the make.

Straight away to the pics..

Took a standard sized chipboard tag
Applied Prima Finnabair Stone effect paste- Pumice randomly followed by Prima white crackle paste through Timholtz speckles stencil.
Air dry and applied Black gesso over the tag.
Used LSG magicals Tiffany’s blue, Cotton candy pink and Creme Brulee cream one after another at intervals and misted with water to run down and blend.
Finally applied Finnabair vintage gold over the textured surface.
Then generously splashed with Finnabair Art Alchemy paints Sparks: Dragon’e eyes.
Centrally added a golden thread, to it added Finnabair mechanicals Wings and Tin heart which were black gessoed and waxed with Vintage gold and Rose gold respectively.
Golden microbeads were added to the thread around wings.
Timholtz chitchat sticker is foam mounted to finish off.

Hope you like it!

Centrally applied Prima white crackle paste and splashed series of sprays in pinks and browns.
Layered the pic with a chipboard frame and made a floral spray around it using Little Birdie floral collection.
The flourishes chippies are heat embossed in Zing -Green Ep and layered with the floral spray among the fussy cut roses.
Some random stamping around the focal elements using Black archival ink and Momento rich cocoa ink.
Added another 2 frame chippies (hidden under resin icon) and made a cluster with feather, and fussy cut elements, and added the prima resin icon : Memories
Sentiment stickers were added near to focal elements.
Art stones were added near the embellishments.
Generous splashes of pink and browns with final splash of white gesso to balance all.
Few enamel dots added as accents.

Hope you like it!!

Altered Wreath

January 5, 2018 ~ Sathya ~ 9 Comments

Hi Friends,

Am back with yet another mixed media project. This time altered a round chopping board as well as the Grape wine wreath.

Must say i fell in love with this 8″ wreath and bought just to alter it for my project!

Amazingly it turned out well!!

Gifted this to a Dear soul for her birthday today 🙂
” Happy Birthday SivaPriya”

Base is a 10″ round chopping board. I bought it for making into a wall art, but it now houses this wreath so beautifully.

It looks this plain in the beginning and its the look of it, after light paste stenciling and white crackle paste textures.

Yup i converted its plain back surface like above, by stenciling and waxing with Prima waxes.
That metal embellishment is to hide the brand inscription there, and so it could be centrally placed.

And below are closer shots of the Mixed media piece, which i thoroughly enjoyed making it!

Loads of Prima and Finnabair products used!

Supplies:

Prima Black gesso

Prima White crackle paste

Prima Light paste

Prima Green brocade wax

Prima Vintage gold wax

Prima Goldrush paint

Prima artstones

Prima min artstones

Prima Flowers

Prima Artpebbles

Prima Hardware Resin
