New again by Ola Khomenok

Hello dears! I'm so excited to be a part of this amazing team!

It's my first project for Mixed Media Place. I created an altered notebook with mixed media techniques.  I found that creating notebooks it's a fun just like canvases, but more useful :)

I altered the cover in vintage style. To create these fabric waves I used Art Extravagance - Sculpture Medium – Clear by Finnabair.

I started with detaching the original hard cover from the inner pages. I wrapped the cover with a cotton fabric. Next I covered it with a layer of Soft Matte Gel. After drying I added a piece of gauze fabric (Art Basics Fabric pack by Finnabair) and made the waves with a Sculpture medium. Next step – I covered the waves with white gesso diluted with water. After drying I started to play with Art Alchemy metallique paints, rust effect pastes and Lindy's mists. Finally, I added a few Mechanicals embellishments, stamps and white crackle paste.

You can watch the video of the process below.
