Faux Midori cover

Another first project for me is the Faux Midori. I will complete it with the signatures and inside design  shortly. I cut out  Tim Holtz card stock, Tim Holtz leaf stencil, modeling paste colored with derwent inktense blocks, flower stamp, covered the card stock with clear contact paper and fused it with We r Memory Keepers fuse tool.

Paper Mache Bowls

To make the bowls I used Plaster of Paris, Elmers Glue all, Water, Vinegar, and wet strips of copy paper. This was another fun project. Learning new ways to craft with different materials is so much fun!1

Mixed Media page

I used Tim Holtz tissue paper, Liquitex inks, stamps, masks, and Jane Davenport watercolors. Another fun time with mixed media.

Needle felting in my art

Fun fabric journal page with needle felted hearts, watercolor & oxide ink circles. I never realized how easy and relaxing needle felting is. I am in still in the  needle felting learning process... So much fun.

Encaustic Wax on Hardbord

The wonderful world of Wax, I have found that using wax with mixed media art is very rewarding and it intensifies color on each project and enables creativity. The project below was painted with the encaustic iron and colored encaustic wax pieces.

Batik painting on rice paper

 I traced the leaves on rice paper, I then painted with watercolor paints, I then used encaustic wax  to cover the painted areas. After the encaustic

wax, I then painted the background of the page with watercolor paint and then again covered the entire page with encaustic wax. After all the wax and paint dried, I crumbled the paper and placed it between to paper towels, and used an iron with parchment paper to melt off all the wax.  I used the We R Memory frame punch board with card stock to frame the painting. Another fun project.

Gelli plate printing on fabric with printing blocks

I have a passion for creating. I  continue to venture into new craft projects and enjoy the process of each. Below is a piece I designed with muslin fabric, printing blocks, Gelli plate, and fabric paints. I purchased the muslin fabric from www.joann.com, the printing blocks were purchased from www.amazon.com and the Fabric paint from www.michaels.com
