Freedom

It’s been a while!

I have been making but more soft crafts and nothing I felt like sharing. 

But recently managed to open up my art journal and create this double page using my ECL13 stamp set and watercolour paints.

Bowl

 

It’s taken a few weeks to make this papier-mâché bowl with all the drying time between layers but I am pleased with how it turned out and it looks good on this old milking stool.

I painted it using fresco paints.

Been loving slow crafting with no deadlines or briefs. Here is a mixed media angel about 3” tall combination of papier-mâché and paper clay.

Journaling

 

Had a big sort out of my craft stash and found some stamps that have never been inked! So here is one turned into an mixed art journal page using collage, Washi tape, paint, stamping and coloured with Copic pens. Used one a quote from my Pinterest collection too.

Grace

Really been enjoying doing some mixed media work and all the drying time means you slow down/take you time. All bits and bobs from my stash and upcycled old packaging for the figure.

Maybe?

Some slow crafting working on a zig zag journal using all sorts of odds and ends of tags, labels, envelopes, etc. Have been enjoying some therapeutic colouring using alcohol pens as well as lots of stamping and collage.

With Brave Wings

...wings seem to be particularly significant at a time when we are constrained and challenged.

A Grateful Heart

This double page spread in my little art journal is created on a Gelli print. The hearts are a hand carved stamp and then I added this super cute fox by Art by Marlene. Managed to use another quote from my Pinterest collections!

Express Yourself

Took one of my PaperArtsy girls ECL03 and decided to extend her beyond the frame I designed. It looks like she is now standing in front of the frame. The backgrounds was created using Fresco paints, washi tape, ink stencils and more stamping.
