FINALLY Framing My Art!

Hi Everyone!

 

Now that my back is feeling a little better, I've been trying to frame some of my art work.

 

Here is the first one.

I will be sharing three all together.

This one is my favorite.

 

 

 

 

I love the colors, textures and the pop of white.

It's created on mixed media paper, acrylic paints, mark making tools, and I used a brayer.

 

Looking at my Instagram account I did use on TCW stencil called Oblong.

 

Wonder what this would look like in a larger size?

 

The Crafter's Workshop provided me with stencils and mediums to create this project.

The opinions I share are solely my own because I do love to use them.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



SCRAPTOBERFEST 2016! 12 Hour Scrapbooking Event for Breast Cancer

Scraptobertfest is a breast cancer event to raise money for immediate needs for those with breast cancer such as wigs, prosthesis, etc. No money go towards research, it goes directly to those brave fighters of this awful disease.

 

This event is a 12 hour scrapbooking event.

Many participants have been coming to the event for over 10 years.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served.

Lots, and lots of raffle prizes.

 

The best part is everything from food, raffle prizes, t-shirts, etc. is 100% donated. Amazing!

 

This is year we had four venders which donated a portion of their sales.  Here is a picture of the room in full swing.

 

This year we had scrapbookers, digital scrapbookers, card makers, knitters, and a couple of crafters making wreaths.

 

Although I'm one of the volunteers,  I also pay for a spot to create art. I usually make cards but I mostly walk around talking to everyone. Running here and there.

 

This year, although I wasn't in too much pain with my back (herniated disc), if felt better walking around so I only created these.

 

An Alice collage that is not finished.

 

 

And these two tags

 

 

It was a fun event and one I look forward to every year.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

 

 

 

The Crafter's Workshop has Mixed Media Goodies!!!

Hi Everyone!

The Crafter's Workshop has new Mixed Media Mediums and they are lots of fun to work with.

I used the gel for an image transfer. I printed out my photo of a ferris wheel, added gel medium to my canvas and adhered the photo. When it was dry, I sprayed it with water and gently rubbed off the paper.

Although the gel medium is gloss it doesn't come through that way with the image transfer.

You can also use it as glue. Its what I used to attached the birds.

You can see more uses for the gel medium by reading my post on The Crafter's Workshop Blog.

Here is the finished piece.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
