Gelli Plate Fun

Just finished Carolyn Dube's One Pull Wonder Class!

I had so much fun learning all the things I could do with my Gelli Plate. This fun effect was created with corn tops and corks with acrylic paint! Such a fun result.

Supplies - Gelli Plate, Deco Art Paint

Painting

I am becoming quite the artist! hahahaha. Yes - me.

I am taking Radiant Faces - a class taught by nine different inspiring teachers and it is all about faces! For me this a huge challenge! I am not an artist and can't draw anything BUT I am trying and learning!

I am going to share a few of the first lessons.
Lesson one was from Jane Davenport and was about Nymphs. As you can see I need much more work to accomplish these!

Lesson 2 was by Tamara Laporte and was about your inner girl. My sister wanted me to make her into a halloween girl so I did.














 Lesson 3 was a She Art girl from Christy Tomlinson.



So, I cannot wait to see what else I will create!

Supplies- Deco Art paints and  Decopauge.

Krylon Mystery Box

I was lucky enough to be chosen to receive a KRYLON MYSTERY BOX! In it were 2 cans of Short Cuts Craft paint, 2 large white fabric squares, bulap, buttons and a wood crate from Walnut Hollow. I had never tried these paints before but found them fun and easy to use! They worked well on the fabric, the wood and the burlap!

I decided to use the fabric to make a pillow. I grabbed some oak leaf branches from our tree to use as a stencil. I first sprayed the fabric brown then used the blue over the leaves. I also made a border on the burlap. Here it is all put together. What a fun project!

I decided to turn the crate into a paintbrush holder for my desk. I sprayed it brown and then drilled holes to hold the brushes. I used a stencil with the blue paint for a design and even sprayed some chipboard alphabets.

I will buy more of these paints! They are wonderful to have for crafts!

Happy Halloween

It was time for a new canvas for the front hallway. Since it is October I thought a Halloween one would be perfect! And this is perfect for PCC Monday's inspiration.


Unfortunately my computer is down and I am limited to my IPad so I cannot do links and things- have not mastered that yet.

I actually painted the pumpkin on kleenex which I then adhered to the canvas. Stencil the ravens and quote.

Clearprint Cross Country Journal

Through a friend I heard about the Clearprint Cross Country Journal project. If you go here you can see all the journals making their way Cross Country. This journal has vellum pages and I wanted to come up with an idea to use both the front and the back of the page. I decided to do a mixed media type of project. I painted the sky on the back page and made the stars on the front but each shows through to the other side.

I used a variety of products including Deco Art Americana Paints, Deco Art Modeling Paste, Magicals by Lindysstamp gang. 

This was a fun challenge for me. At first I was intimidated by the art in the book but am happy with this piece which is very me. 

Monday Inspiration

I am finishing up last year's Christmas album. This  squares at this week's inspiration at PCC called to me. 

I cut squares from pattern papers and used them to frame my photo. 

I am happy ot say that I think I have finally finished this album! Thanks PCC for the inspiration!

In the City

This week's art journal prompt for Journal 52 is in the City. I worked in my old book first making a sky background then layered washi tapes for my buildings.. I outlined and added windows and radio towers. Was just quick and fun.
