Increasing my ability

I just love to learn NEW Techniques

This week I have been playing with all kinda new products and some old ones.  

This one is a painting done with just PanPastels and just a little soft Pastels

it's far from perfect, but I had a lot of fun learn this new skill

NOW this one.  I just love the way it turned out. I plan on show this technique off on my Tuesday night show in about a week or so.  This one is made with Acrylic Paints. Charcoal, and Soft Pastels.

Thanks for stopping by

Birds of a feature

This Girls love her POWER tools..  Most of the power tools I use in my studio are from Proxxon - these are Mini Power tools with the power of the big guys, but they are perfect for the home studio. 

Here is the top of my mobile - I used stick from my yard. 

Use my crop saw to cut the sticks and then my Drill press to drill hole at the end of each stick  

Each bird was made different.  I start all of them with Music paper glued onto the chipboard.  then I just had fun, paint, Gelatos, Prima Flowers and real feathers

Thank you to Dreamwesver Stencils

As most of you know I have been the guest designer for Dreamweaver Stencil this whole month,  Today is my last post.  So far all of my post has been Canvas and I want to make something different, so today I make a Thank You card for Dreamweaver to say "Thanks for having me"

start off with a black paper.  Sorry about the glossyness, 

Added Golden Polmer Medium to my black cardstock and sprinkled the Metallic F/X onto the wet Plymer Medium (Gloss)  the reason it's glossy at this point.  Let that dry.  To make sure the Metallic F/X was not going to come off, I spray with a Workable Fixatif from Krylon

I had a Thank You stencil from Dreamweaver and embossing paste, but I need color, add a few drop of Florescent Orange to the embossing paste and mixed well.  Then I added my Thank You to my background. let dry

since my background is glossy and will not tke a photo well I add Gel Medium Matte on top of the whole background and let that dry.  While my Gel Medium was still wet I added my Die Cut leaves to the bottom

here is a close up of the background technique I used.  love this affect.  Here is the rest of the Dreamweaver Design Team.  Go by each of their blog and see what they did.  

Dream It Up!

Greek goddess

I just love to making Mixed Media art project and the products I received for being a guest designer from Dreamweavers Stencils make it so much fun..  Stop by the Dreamweaver blog today and see all the great project done by their design team:
.  I made this wonderful canvas


Now here is how I make this amazing canvas

started by painting my background using Golden's new High Flow Paints.  Then I trace out my face image and painted the face with Golden Titan buff.

add my details, eyes shadows etc...

got my new Die cuts out and started to cut you two different shade using both leaf dies
Monstera Leaf
Leafy Branch 

Had to add a little something to them.  ink all edges with Olive color Chalk Ink

Add each of the leaf with Golden Gel Medium

Now I start adding a few flowers using the Plumeria Crest Stencil and Embossing paste

Added some Sizing liquid to each flower so I can add the Dreamweaver metallic FX to each of the flower to make them pop...

Added a Dew Drop from Robin Nest to each flower center .

Now stop by each of these blogs and see what the rest of the Dreamweaver DT made

Dream it UP
