Faces – 2

Continuing with my series of faces / portraits, here's another one I made a while back - I still don't have a style of my own, and it's fun to create these faces however I want to (or rather, to create them however they end up turning out. 😉 ) I don't create them as…

What We Need

[Challenge win: Top rocker at 613 Avenue Create challenge][Challenge win: Rising Star at A Place To Start challenge][Challenge win: Winner at Creative Artiste Mixed Media challenge] Here's a recent art journal page of mine - I made this on a wax paper page that I'd included in my journal.

Discover Your Gifts

[Challenge win: Top rocker at 613 Avenue Create challenge] Here's a recent art journal spread of mine - I made this spread on tea-dyed copy paper pages that I'd included in my art journal.

I then used a gel plate with metallic acrylics to…

Speak Your Truth

[Challenge win: Winner at Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge] Here's a recent art journal spread of mine - I made this spread on kraft paper. I started out by using a gel plate to make some acrylics background using stencils. I followed that with acrylics drips, then more acrylics pounced through a stencil. To this,…

Mixed Media Frame

I recently finished stitching a Halloween cross-stitch piece, and thought it'd be fun to make a Halloween-themed mixed media frame for it. The stitched area is pretty small--14cm x 21cm (approx. 5.5in x 8in) , so for the frame to not overwhelm the stitching, I kept the frame fairly narrow, and any ornamentation to a…
