Mixed Media Monday

Hello out there!  I'm sneaking in a quick Mixed Media Monday post just in time before the end of the day... (Hey, it's still Monday out here in the Pacific time zone, LOL :)

This week's project is on an 8"x 10" canvas.  I used paint, scrapbook paper, stamps, rub-ons and a black pen for extra doodling. :)  Love the texture that was created using all of these art supplies!

Shading with paint and marker around the bird, branch, leaves and flowers helped to highlight these elements and "bring them to life" a bit.

Hope your week is off to a great start...  Be back again soon!

Mixed Media Monday

Hey Everyone!  How was your weekend?  Mine was good, spent lots of time in the studio. :)  

This week's Mixed Media Monday project is a small 5"x 7" canvas.  My favorite part is the dimensional flower created with vintage pattern paper - love how that turned out!  (Note to self - need to do more dimensional elements...)

I'll be back later this week with another sewing project update.  Making some actual progress over here. :)

Hope your week is off to a great start!

Making Progress...

Hi Everyone!  Happy Weekend!

Just stopping by to share a sneak peek of a new embroidery design I've been working on. :)

Remember these?  They've been turned into a fabulous border.  I really like how the design is coming together.  The top is done, now bring on the quilting!  Trying to decide between machine or hand quilting...  What's your favorite?

Be back soon with (hopefully) a finished project to share!

Mixed Media Monday

Hello out there!  Hope everyone's week is off to a great start.  Thought I'd share a mixed media project that I created over the weekend.  It was fun incorporating a bit of fabric and stitching into this one...  The pink bit is actually a baby wipe that was left out to dry after I used it to blend paint onto a background in my art journal. :)  

Be back later this week to share a sewing project update...

Mixed Media Monday

Happy Monday Everyone!  Hope everybody had a great weekend.  I got some studio time in over the weekend, so life is good around here. :)

This week's Mixed Media Monday post is a page spread from my art journal.  I mediums this time were paint, ink and some scrapbook paper.  Warm colors are so not my norm, but they've been showing up more and more in my work lately...   

A few close-ups, just for fun... :)

I also have a few fun embroidery projects in the works.  Be back soon with some sneak peeks...

Mixed Media Monday

Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend!  It's amazing how great it can be to have an extra day off - gotta love long weekends! :)

So in the spirit of back-to-school time and falling back into routines (although I'm sooo not ready for summer to be over yet...), I've decided to start something new here on the blog.  Every Monday I'll be posting images of a mixed media project for "Mixed Media Monday".  

This week's project was created on a small 5"x 7" canvas using paint, scrapbook paper, stamps, rub-ons and a few embellishments.   

Hope you'll enjoy this new weekly show-n-tell.  I know I'll sure enjoy preparing for it! :)
