Play Day in the Studio

At the end of the week, I need time in my studio to unwind and create. So today, I did just that. I made this mixed media piece on a wood panel and really just had fun. I sprayed the background, then stamped/heat embossed the next layer, and added stenciled modeling paste with embossing powder sprinkled on it while still wet. The snowflakes were rub-ons, and worked great over the modeling paste (I wasn't sure if it would work or not, so it was a happy success!). I also thought it would be fun for a frosty canvas to add "frozen" droplets of water.

So after playing for a bit today, I feel refreshed and ready for the week ahead!

The Holiday Spirit

I wanted to create a canvas to celebrate the New Year and somehow a frosty landscape celebrates a clean slate, a type of starting anew.

March to the Beat of Your Own Drum

Hello, lovely blog followers! Today I have a mixed media layout to share with you that brings back so many wonderful memories for me. The photo is from our Disney trip last year (which was a complete surprise to my nephew). It was really the best trip ever. Also, growing up, my great -grandparents had peacocks...so peacock feathers decorated everything! Now, that may have been a bit of an overkill, but now, peacock feathers always make me smile. These feathers started off as plain chipboard, and I added lots of inks and mists to create their coloring.
