Mixed media dream and imagination

April 29, 2019

Hi everyone! New week, new projects! This is my favorite make of April.

I swiped the paper into the different puddles of color and dried with my heat tool. Then I found some background stamps I…

A little red purse

April 26, 2019

Hello friends! A while ago I bought a tonic studio purse die,  and I finally got around to try it! This red an black one is just made of Bazzil and has some tiny bling, and a magnet to close. This was quite a bit of work, despite the use of a die. The lace pattern is really intricate, and I struggled with the cutting a little bit, but after a few runs through my big shot, it was okay. The…

Angel in a tin

April 25, 2019

Hi friends! I admit it, I am totally in love with the Finnabair waxes! I paint everything I can find with black gesso, and then let the waxwork it’s magic. This time I had to ask my mom if she could be so kind as to eat her candy so I could have the tin. Hehe. And as you can see, she did. Thank you, mom! I used some casting moulds to create the angel and the rose inside the tin,…

The suitcase I made of chipboard and inside I made 3 pockets to put my tags in. Then I played with inks and sprays and tissue paper and this is the result.…

Mixed Media Paint

Blue bulb-art

April 17, 2019

Mixed media is something I really like and one of my favourite brands is Finnabair. I recently bought new products and had to test them at once. I found an old lightbulb, some cast forms, some glue sticks and old scraps of embellishments. After some glueing, painting and waxing this was the result. I like how this one turned out, and I’m looking forward to giving this to someone that deserves it. If you want to learn how to make…
