Festive Reindeer by Anja

I think December is by far the best time to use some sparkles en metalliques in your work.

For this month's inspiration, I altered a bauble for you with a bit of a vintage vibe.

Halloween-themed creation by Marietta Tegi

Hello Everyone!

Today's creation is Halloween-themed, so it won't be left out this year.

As for the colours, even Wednesday might like to keep it on her shelf. :D

I glued old book pages to the base with soft matte gel and washi tape. Where there was no paper I covered it with black gesso, and the paper with clear gesso.

I stencilled with black gesso, then used a white gesso with a dry brush to highlight the edges and stencil.

I first painted the area under the rim of the glass with White Pearl acrylic paint, splashing more water on it to make the colour less intense. I then used liquid acrylic paints in the following shades: Ink Black, Burnt Sienna and Purple.

I used Ink Black acrylics for both the bone mould elements and the skulls.

The demonic chipboard elements were painted with purple liquid acrylic, geared chipboard elements with raven black sparks acrylic. I found burnt sienna suitable for the gear mould elements.

I used metal elements from Finnabair and Mitform Castings to brighten up the creation.

Finally; I sprinkled some granular decorative elements on the top and stamped a little.

Have a nice day 

Marietta

Take time by Lanette Erickson

 

Hello All you Amazing Creative People,

One of the amazing things about being on the Mixed Media Place Team is the annual Mystery Box of goodies! It's always a wonderful mix but at the same time it’s a kind of challenge too!

My box contained a bit of the beautiful " Verano Azul Collection" from 7 Dot Studio, no naturally I created a layout with my mysterious box.

If you would like to see how this layout came together you can see my process start to finish over on my YouTube Channel here: 

I hope that I have inspired you in some way to try something new, or even create your own mystery box to create with! Until Next Time Hugs, Lanette
