Let me first say this project was nothing like I envisioned. I thought I was going to make a "night sky". Apparently, that is not how it went. I guess I need to practice with those colors some more. So, the project turned out much lighter, delicate and feminine.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I love it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_A3B37nT39CFLZLOcY4-fMtExyIhyu2lrIXqtUocNFL1zu5bFrid51BOmTUtDf4lcqDqzXME6fNqOHcUr8bJ8bMdfcwUue6RE4ugWQuC8k3peow6RvVYr2w2b2iydRCUchNJMrqhR79JTJAPuha0ABwgLoGMlsGpiya2ARtonX051JFCBzeN4Tj2V/s1280/Magic%20Moon%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="979" data-original-width="1280" height="488" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_A3B37nT39CFLZLOcY4-fMtExyIhyu2lrIXqtUocNFL1zu5bFrid51BOmTUtDf4lcqDqzXME6fNqOHcUr8bJ8bMdfcwUue6RE4ugWQuC8k3peow6RvVYr2w2b2iydRCUchNJMrqhR79JTJAPuha0ABwgLoGMlsGpiya2ARtonX051JFCBzeN4Tj2V/w640-h488/Magic%20Moon%201.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Even though most of it is hidden, take your time with your bases.

This piece has waxes, embossing powders, acrylic paint, moulds and chipboards. The trick is to blend them in a way that is pleasing to your eye. Also, sometimes it's about what is in your stash. Do I emboss the clock or do I paint it? Well, that is entirely based on what you already own!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimrbgY21jEIIMdZP0JriULc1RAbx1HDEoMHNaZn4UThSfG8s9CBjuz6MpMldpCPXAeK7Yj58QH9h78e92i8ZKpqVFXBAd-47eJ2dDzSQ_b3RBIxf9fsd6-Cw0jDe2AVXlE7ZzltFxmGmg2M3OI5bmWCGJkNy2UQnbshAJ9G6GjRJjihApHM0b4bzyU/s1280/Magic%20Moon%204.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1140" data-original-width="1280" height="568" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimrbgY21jEIIMdZP0JriULc1RAbx1HDEoMHNaZn4UThSfG8s9CBjuz6MpMldpCPXAeK7Yj58QH9h78e92i8ZKpqVFXBAd-47eJ2dDzSQ_b3RBIxf9fsd6-Cw0jDe2AVXlE7ZzltFxmGmg2M3OI5bmWCGJkNy2UQnbshAJ9G6GjRJjihApHM0b4bzyU/w640-h568/Magic%20Moon%204.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love layering! It's all about complimenting the pieces around one piece and not letting anything else distract from the main piece. In this case, the dragonfly. The second main attraction is the harpsichord.

There is always a point where I follow videos very closely and then veer off on my own. </p><p>Earlier this year, I received an altered wooden box from Toni Burks, aka "Little Black Dress", in an exchange group filled with wonderful goodies!! I used a bunch of those goodies on this piece as well. Thank you so much Toni!</p><p>Finally, to those of you in the U.S. and close to a Target . . . go shop at the little "dollar" section up front when the seasons/holidays change. You will find wonderful things to alter in that section. This year I found a sleigh and wooden door (previous blog post).

Today I would like to share with you my first Christmas decor of the season. </p><p>Won't lie . . . this took quite a bit of planning and set-up. I had to order the colors, order crackle paste, cut the dies, shop for glitter and create the moulds.

I love videos. I truly appreciate everything women and artists go thru making them. If I were to add one little piece of advice that is not shown in any video that I've watched is this . . . after you start building your layers, let your glue dry. This is a patient process but start to finish it really takes no more than 2 - 3 hours. Go fold some laundry while it's drying. You are much more likely to regret trying to rush that one step.</div><p>Supplies:</p><p>Reneabouquet products:</p><p></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Reneabouquet Corner Web and Spider</li><li>Reneabouquet Leaf filler</li><li>Reneabouquet Lace</li></ol><p></p><p>Tim Holtz Halloween trinkets</p><p>Creative Embellishments Spooky Tree</p><p>Straws</p><p>Prima leaf and roses moulds and time clock mould</p><p>Window from the dollhouse section at Hobby Lobby</p><p>Graphic 45 Black Roses</p><p>Finnabair Products:</p><p></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Charcoal Black Wax</li><li>Graphite Wax</li><li>Old Silver Wax</li><li>Sparks Raven Black acrylic paint</li><li>Sparks Ginger Magic acrylic paint</li><li>Jewel Paste Sparkling Onyx</li><li>Melange Art Pebbles</li></ol><p></p><p><br /></p>PaperCutsForUhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15468038256913686595noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2261548714286946573.post-27212480312990208012021-10-08T07:05:00.001-04:002021-10-08T07:06:56.081-04:00BOUNTIFUL FALL - Home Decor Mixed Media<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hello and welcome!! This is my latest home decor project for my favorite season...FALL!!! I made letters like this in the past using JOY (from Hobby Lobby) and crackle paste. Whelp, crackle paste has been rather difficult to get a hold of these days. So I tried something new...FolkArt Crackle Medium. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Since it was my very first time using it I was amazed at the results. My other projects using crackle medium are even more detailed. Basically, the effect is similar to the swirls of alcohol ink, but also with some "crackle" effects as well.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The final finish was a glossy, glass like effect that is just gorgeous! I have more projects I will be posting soon, in which the effect is even more prominent than this first attempt.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What I learned:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1. Apply white gesso</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2. Apply a full base color (you're lighter choice). I did not do this for this project. I should have.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3. Apply crackle medium.

I am hosting a <a href="https://www.reneabouquets.com" target="_blank">Reneabouquet</a> "Falloween" themed swap this month over at <a href="http://Scrapbook.com">Scrapbook.com</a> </p><p>All the items on this home decor piece (5 1/4" x 5 1/4") are from Reneabouquet's shop except for the colors. I used my Lindy's products for the color scheme.</p><p>On a wonderful side note, Since the pandemic, I have been having trouble getting my hands on crackle paste. It's one of my favorite mediums to use. So I decided to try the Folk Art crackle medium, never having worked with it before. Luckily it's a water-based medium but the directions say to use "FolkArt Decor Chalk paint"...whatever. I used Lindy's sprays. </p><p>Steps:</p><p>1. Apply white gesso to the base</p><p>2. Apply your lighter color choice (water based) all over and dry.</p><p>3. Apply Folk Art Crackle medium - WALK AWAY - LET DRY - FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO</p><p>4. Finally, apply your next darker color. Swirl and you can apply heat at this step.</p><p>5. Results - beautiful glossy, glass-like finish with swirls and cracks</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiARKoiP9zmEPVu0w_s70ox0_1ABtuPNBOd12ZwvbBDDz_PwuNhjP2-jnBj6NzgK2sbIKVQa6hgoqDLDCafcy7vl-FHx8NSdm79cL-Q5Fvu1A8a5xzbC4-FPqN5YukSXDkiOcKErc3cA7s/s2000/VivianLakeFalloween.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1464" data-original-width="2000" height="468" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiARKoiP9zmEPVu0w_s70ox0_1ABtuPNBOd12ZwvbBDDz_PwuNhjP2-jnBj6NzgK2sbIKVQa6hgoqDLDCafcy7vl-FHx8NSdm79cL-Q5Fvu1A8a5xzbC4-FPqN5YukSXDkiOcKErc3cA7s/w640-h468/VivianLakeFalloween.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Fall and Halloween are my favorite season and colors to work with.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I love working with browns, golds, oranges, and greens. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLY7H5_UvJ-Stqy_KjQsSod7da38VapCMk_iKVRUAiYvB5uQAoclpm5jZT7dL1HwzQJAtavyvH1qkrBmGvMTkhADacdIZCRqben5fmSbSP4Dsqp8dxGzWCn0Rwtcb8enLm5LGdMDiny1g/s1280/Falloween+5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="970" data-original-width="1280" height="486" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLY7H5_UvJ-Stqy_KjQsSod7da38VapCMk_iKVRUAiYvB5uQAoclpm5jZT7dL1HwzQJAtavyvH1qkrBmGvMTkhADacdIZCRqben5fmSbSP4Dsqp8dxGzWCn0Rwtcb8enLm5LGdMDiny1g/w640-h486/Falloween+5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It can really add to a piece to finish it off with glass or glitter. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Not only is it "sparkly", butseems to add another dimension to layering.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXjPMy34iTN4Ka50ZNOnD5VD17YsVX2_MOaUswsYPAFSPyvA644xwJktEKQd9Uf6vdSYX7nSNR1v553D1M_LDltuScGrF5sGKh4vXYRFj2R5HtI_ms72C0D3z7sIoSHNvw6Zu71xEgP7k/s1280/Falloween+3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="891" data-original-width="1280" height="446" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXjPMy34iTN4Ka50ZNOnD5VD17YsVX2_MOaUswsYPAFSPyvA644xwJktEKQd9Uf6vdSYX7nSNR1v553D1M_LDltuScGrF5sGKh4vXYRFj2R5HtI_ms72C0D3z7sIoSHNvw6Zu71xEgP7k/w640-h446/Falloween+3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Fancy Fall Corner has acorns and leaves in its design.

All the pieces were first covered in black gesso individually. I then added the background coasters and layered wax colors peacock, denim and blue lagoon using a really stiff brush. Then I built and glued the rest of the pieces and walked away, letting the glue settle and dry. This ensures the pieces stay in place when I work with the final colors. I added layers of meteor showers, firebird, and aged brass (in that order) to the elements. Lastly, I highlighted (especially faces) the pieces with white gold.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWuPzdDrjCOdoSOvJ7cYPPUKXB9IW8wHLf6XTFryyRR5UugxHkKrRnSFfrrWpFtfexzpFS06mX0k2ssKZ46Y-Ro8N5nVJIXN-ERiaRj5cqonIry6Hal5iBEilfl7VZfAoKX5K1VFaiPo0/s1280/Dream+Received+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="962" data-original-width="1280" height="482" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWuPzdDrjCOdoSOvJ7cYPPUKXB9IW8wHLf6XTFryyRR5UugxHkKrRnSFfrrWpFtfexzpFS06mX0k2ssKZ46Y-Ro8N5nVJIXN-ERiaRj5cqonIry6Hal5iBEilfl7VZfAoKX5K1VFaiPo0/w640-h482/Dream+Received+3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There is a window frame behind the dream catcher to help build up the piece and give it more of</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> a 3-D look.

The other day I went "researching" thru Pinterest for inspiration and eye-candy. I found this <a href="https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/293578469442100100/">coffee themed layout</a> and I KNEW I wanted to recreate something of my own.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have quite a few supplies left from my time with International Scrapbook Garden and one of the themes was this similar color scheme. So I dragged it all out (plus some) and slowly built this layout over two days.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for stopping by today!</div>

This piece uses two different colors of Lindy's: <a href="https://www.lindysgang.com/products/cattail-copper-brown?_pos=1&_psq=cattail&_ss=e&_v=1.0" target="_blank">Cattail Copper Brown</a> and <a href="https://www.lindysgang.com/products/dark-chocolate-truffle?_pos=1&_psq=dark%20c&_ss=e&_v=1.0" target="_blank">Dark Chocolate Truffle</a>. Plus a LOT of gesso. Apparently orange turns into pink when mixed with white.</p><p>The technique is pretty simple. Build up your canvas and add gesso to all your layers. Add color where you want it (<a href="https://www.lindysgang.com/products/cattail-copper-brown?_pos=1&_psq=cattail&_ss=e&_v=1.0" target="_blank">Cattail Copper Brown</a>). Add gesso again. Dry. Add again, dry. . . . and repeat many many times. Add layers of color for shadowing (that's the <a href="https://www.lindysgang.com/products/dark-chocolate-truffle?_pos=1&_psq=dark%20c&_ss=e&_v=1.0" target="_blank">dark chocolate truffle</a>) and repeat any layering of gesso you may want.</p><p>Thanks for stopping by today!!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTcfYAbVIqSUgyPtv0OXUAsOs3VcAM7_VNDXT8pQ68NLK5OTEQSUCOZ0oTz-9aet2TVZIpUe1fCFv3ueS6WEXQ6J6Zr-pbhsY5jHzPbnZC-j2UNiRY-_t44OjLWNUrXNUjuh9IqWb2uNo/s1280/Take+Risks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1278" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTcfYAbVIqSUgyPtv0OXUAsOs3VcAM7_VNDXT8pQ68NLK5OTEQSUCOZ0oTz-9aet2TVZIpUe1fCFv3ueS6WEXQ6J6Zr-pbhsY5jHzPbnZC-j2UNiRY-_t44OjLWNUrXNUjuh9IqWb2uNo/w640-h640/Take+Risks.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>PaperCutsForUhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15468038256913686595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2261548714286946573.post-7171516078729466672021-03-14T09:36:00.000-04:002021-03-14T09:36:07.908-04:00Mixed Media Canvas - Live in the Moment<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hello there! I've always struggled with making "spring" projects. Too much pastels? I do love a bright room with lots of light, but my art and I don't get along when I try to play with lighter colors. Besides, spring is messy and muddy, with lots of rain. Sure, there are beautiful tulips out there, but they are fleeting and gone almost instantly. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But this!!?? Playing with browns, golds and greens!!! This I can get behind and still feel like it speaks "spring". I've started a whole wall of art that tells the story of Spring and am damn proud of it. And just LOVE it!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So forget those elusive, delicate pastels.

Hello there! I follow many challenges, especially mood boards like this one from <a href="https://mixedmediaplace.blogspot.com/2020/04/april-2020-challenge.html">Mixed Media Place</a>. But I don't always get around to participating, and when I do, I'm usually late to the party.<br />
<br />
But this color combo and mood board spoke volumes to me!! It gave me the perfect opportunity to try a new combo with the Finnabair waxes (my newest love affair).<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by today!!<br />
<br />
Supplies listed below.<br />
