Is anyone working on any mixed media projects this month? I have just finished a mixed media workshop with Laly Mille (on of my favorite MM Artists) and I've done a few pages. Here's one of them. It's mostly collage with gesso, a lot of acrylic paint, and Posca White Paint Marker.

Anyone else?IMG_5493.JPG

Brilliant job Susie!! :lovey3: I have viewed the videos for Workshop 1 but haven't got to the others as yet............. I still have a double spread I started a couple of months ago that I haven't finished! However, I did actually clear the most of the mess off my table yesterday and will finish that today so hopefully I will get something new started! :)

Love how you have created the sun and the abstract landscape scene complete with a waterfall! very creative! It is the sort of page that you can just sit and look at and discover something new the deeper you look! Beautiful work! and bravo for creating your own journal to work in! :loveangel:

I am slowly working on some pages in a couple of different journals. When I get 'stuck' one project I leave it and go and tackle another one. So I move between the projects as I think of different things I can add or change etc. :)

Here is an older faery double page I did a little while ago, using printed rice papers, paints, gesso............ actually, you name it, I used it on this!!! lol! :giggle4: I also had to fix her wings as I mucked up the ones she had, I cut out some out material, covered them with gel matte and then used a gold pen to draw some markings on them and also included another set of gold coloured soft tulle to give the wings a more shimmery look. :) The pieces of text come from an old book I found in the second hand store, a fave book of mine called Mists of Avalon. :)

@wombat146 i love it!!! I especially like the butterfly wings!!!!

I am having a hard time creatively. I know How to make a page now, but knowing what to make eludes me. If I start out copying an idea I can get it done.

Thanks Susie! yes, I love how her wings turned out as well! :)

Then just start with copying a page, much like a digi scraplift, I bet by the time you are finished it will be all yours!!! :) I often see a page and think oh I love that, but when I start I think........ hmmmm, what would it look like if I used different colours........ or moved the stars over here........... or took out the tree and added a rosebush!!!! :floorlaugh: :floorlaugh:

Here are a couple of pages I have done in my journal. Whenever I get new stamps I try them out in my journal first and I have lots of fun experimenting with different stencils, colours of ink and giliding polishes and stickels etc.

Thank you Anne, :floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh: do you really have around 8 hours to spare to watch how this was created! ahhaaaa!!! It took about 3 weeks in total with a couple of hours here and there, mainly staring at it and thinking 'what should I do next!!!' :giggle4: I guess that is why I will stay with digi scrapping as well because it is so quick and easy with no mess to clean up *says she looking at her cluttered and messy craft table!* :giggle4::giggle4:

Susie @pachimac you started this off with a super image!
Ona @wombat146 that fairy and wings are jaw-dropping indeed.
Trudy @taxed4ever the gift "book" is wonderful and I can't imagine having that much patience.

This is my latest. Last week my art teacher bought about six orchids at the end of a show of them. Others in the group had lovely pictures of orchid blooms, but I began drawing shapes, getting what I liked in the third drawing. Then I photographed it and modified on the computer to one with darker lines and one with lighter ones. I printed them both on card stock. This week while more lovely orchid illustrations were created, I worked on mine in ink, collage, colored pencil and a little white acrylic. The orchid was on its side and I ignored a froth of blooms off to the left. A bit different for me and nothing like the others. But one of the others was incredible, the way she arranged it creating poetry.

@scrap-genie Jean, I think your work art is incredible!!!! o_O :lovey3: The beautiful shapes, touches of colour and gorgeous patterns is so very interesting and stunning! just wow! I could see this hanging on a wall for sure! I also love that you photographed it and worked on it some more on the computer and then printed it and worked on it again to finish off!! Absolutely amazing work! Do you actually hang these on a wall somewhere?? If so I would love to see a photo of how all of your beautiful work looks like, up on a wall! :)

Ona @wombat146 thank you so much for your comments! It was interesting to have a hybrid process on this orchid piece. I seem to be leaning a little in that direction. I do frame and hang my work for exhibit and some of that winds up in the house. Back in 2013-14 a small local group of us exhibited together. Here's a picture of my part of our last show though my work does keep changing.

That looks amazing Jean, thank you so much for sharing! And yes, our work does change over the years, no doubt it changes with who we become as we get older and how visually fantastic is that! I love your colour use in these pieces above and also the bold lines. The art I have seen from you in these threads has a much more organic soft natural feel to them, compared with your art above. Thanks so much for sharing! ♥

@pachimac:
So beautiful and powerful!...... I also did the workshop, unfortunately I currently lack the inner peace to sit down and work creatively.

@Ona:
so magical and mysterious, a dreamlike double page spread!

@ Taxed4ever
