Mixed media - Memories

Hi, Everyone!!

It's almost 9 pm Sunday here..... 

I am here with a late evening Sunday inspiration!!

A Mixed media Canvas art piece!

I had made this mixed media canvas for a Swap. 

I began with stamping script stamp from Mudra on a  plain white tissue paper. Used this paper to cover the canvas with decoupage glue. 

After the glue dried I used Acrylic paints to colour and shade as desired the entire canvas.

Next came in the honeycomb and clock chipboards. 

I painted them gold and arranged them in the two corners. 

Once it all dried in place I arranged the flowers, leaves, the metal corner, a clay "miss you" pendant etc. I used the Mudra Polka dot butterfly, heat embossed it and fussy cut it. 

Arranged it on the canvas. I used some contrast coloured mosaic chips in between to add some element to the entire canvas. 

Lastly came a Quotation!  I wanted the quotation to somewhat reflect the message of a clock so have included the sentiment in it. 

TADAAAA .. 

My canvas is ready for Swap!!! 
(Psst... By the time this post goes live, it must have already reached my swap partner... hope she likes it!! :))

Mixed Media Project

Hello Everyone!

Today I am herewith something which I don't do very often. 

A Mixed media project!!

I am not a very Pro in this type of art. But have tried to come up with something inspired by the artists around me,

Here I am using the backing paper of some embellishments as the base. To begin with I used some colour textured paste and created some textures on the corners of the base (The textures didn't come out so well.... you will be left guessing what shape is that) . After that i used Distress ink and coloured the backing paper covering all of it. I then pasted a piece of Jute in the centre and a piece of mesh over it. Then came the feathers (I simply love them!), a piece of doily, a metal leaf.... a chipboard painted in golden colour.....and lastly few flowers to add colours. I then stamped a sentiment on a piece of paper and stuck it with foam adhesive. 

And so my yet another attempt at mixed media is completed!

Hope I have done justice to all the instructions and tips I followed. 

I really liked coming up with this one. And I think I should keep practicing more of this art.

Thank you for reading through. 

Kindly leave a comment for me. I really love reading your feedbacks.

Altered Bottle

Hello Everyone!

Came up with yet another Holiday project!! Hope you people will like it.

An altered glass bottle!

I have loads of things piled up in my so-called "to do" list. Piled for quite sometime now. 

Nothing in my house will ever make it to the dustbin/scraps i guess. 

Having said so I have been piling up these small glass bottles for many many days (or is it years......considering the no of bottles with me...??....) now :-D

In India, we get flavored milk in these bottles. So after every dose of milk, the bottles are cleaned and stashed up for some form of repurpose. 

Finally i could bring myself up to refurbish these two lucky bottles.

Now they are as good as new....

The bottles are covered with a decoupage paper having red roses. The top I wanted to cover with some form of cords...I always find, covering the top with a paper, little bit tedious...what with the tapering shape. 

Cords are easier ... :-D

In one I have used the paper strings and jute thread for the other. Both of them give different looks. The paper strings giving a more polished look as the jute gives a more rustic look. 

On the jute one I added some decorations like the feathers (red , green xmas colors) , some flowers, a set of bells tied with twine (Christmas season is incompete with bells... ;-) ) and a butterfly!

On the second one, I added different types of flowers, a Holly leaf with cherries, a set of bells tied around with a twine and a little sentiment of "happy holidays" !

TADAAA......There its done!!

It can now be used for displaying some articial flowers... I want to try putting an LED inside to illuminate a corner ... can also be used as it is as a Display piece... what say??

It actuallly didn't take all that long to refurbish the bottles...  

Hopefully the beautification of all my bottles will happen soon.. ;-)

New year resolution.....hahahah...

Hopefully you guys like my Altered creation of the bottle.

Do leave your comments below, I would love to check them out!

Jewellery box

Good evening friends!!

A jewellery box for today.

 I have tried to strike a contrast of red and white. 

 Tried using all possible coloured embellishments on the top decorations to make it more colourful and lively. 

Treasure all your precious and prized pieces of jewellery in this box. A perfect gift to a loved one!

A walk down the memory lane!!

Happy treasuring.

Good Evening friends!

Aquarium on Canvas!!

 To begin with i painted the canvas with the sea blue colours with a dash of white to lighten it. Next in line was the sticking of the stones, pebbles, sea shells, starfishes etc.

 I used Cork sheets to make the grass/ sea weed, by painting it green.Some bright coloured clay fishes completed the entire setup!
