Mixed Media Art Collaborations

In the Mixed Media Art Journals today I will be sharing with you how you can create texture in your art journal.  You can use some of the elements that you might have already and use it as a backing for your pages.

You can get some really great effects when laying them on your art journal.  Come and join me to see how I created this double page spread

Check out some of the free resources that I have on my course platform that you are able to access

Arts and Wellness Café - Inspired living

In the Arts and Wellness Café, this month the word is Inspired and comfort, we will be checking out some great creative ideas and resources.

Check out the video below...

In the café this month I share a textile project, book review, art journal and more!  We also look at the things that can keep us inspired and also provide elements of comfort.

We take a look at this work in progress that will eventually be a wall-hanging.  It is made up of Shibori tie dyed fabric, painted fabric and stitches.   I am hoping to add some embellishments on the piece as well.

You get a flip through of this mini art journal.  I had created a variety of toppers that were looking for a home, I also experimented with glitter and stencils in places.

These smaller art journals are great for all those smaller toppers that you may have that want to be put to good use and you.  You will also hear the 'Tip and Question of the week'  Looking forward to having you join me.
