I'm so excited to be sharing with you another mixed media canvas I made up! This one was for a "Field Trip Friday" assignment over at the Bo Bunny Blog (this is actually the first canvas I made up, they just got posted in a different order lol!) The idea of 'Field Trip Friday' is to try something new that is different from the norm for you. As I mentioned on my last field trip Friday post, I tend to be a 12x12 layout kinda gal so last time I did an OTP (off the page) project, and this time I did a mixed media canvas. I used 'Gabrielle' collection papers for the background of the canvas (you can watch the video posted below on how I applied it all) and I used papers from the 'Little Miss' collection for the couture figure as well as some Bo Bunny Stamps and Rub-on's (Country Garden). The quote I used for this one is... "She turned her can'ts into cans and her dreams into plans" I got the quote...guess where? Yep! Pinterest! ha! love that place! I've got lot's of quotes saved on my quote board there if anyone is looking for some quote inspiration, you can find my Pinterest boards HERE. The figure design was inspired by the book "Collage Couture" by Julie Nutting. Here are a few close-ups of the page.... Below I've posted a copy of the template I drew up from the couture figure I sketched out if any of you would like to play with it! So much fun picking out papers to create the cloths! Try to keep the paper for the body in a neutral design (in the book I read the auther uses book print paper for the body, so cool!) So you can just right click on the picture below and 'Save Picture As' to your computer, then print out the design on a piece of 8.5x 11 inch standard paper. Cut out the pieces and trace them onto the patterned paper of your choice! and have some fun! xx Okay....so here is my Video Tutorial on how I put this mixed media canvas together, I hope you have as much fun watching it as I had making it! xx Thanks for stopping by! Hope everyone has an amazing weekend! xx
Bonjour ! Une petite pause "art journalesque" pour une page dont j'aime les couleurs, j'ai pris quelques photos au fur et à mesure afin de vous montrer la construction. En 1er lieu, il faut préparer la page avec une fine couche de gesso puis vaporiser de l'eau après séchage. J'ai déposé quelques gouttes d'encre turquoise, faire en sorte qu'elle se mélange bien à l'eau en bougeant le support dans un sens puis dans l'autre et bien sécher au heat gun : Un peu de Néocolor II marron avec de nouveau vaporisation d'eau (s'aider d'un pinceau) J'ai collé quelques bandes de papier à la verticale, à gauche et à droite Un mélange de gesso avec l'encre turquoise, puis j'ai utilisé un mask pour l'appliquer sur les bandes de papier Embossage à chaud pour mon titre Des touches d'encres Distress par endroits (différentes nuances de marron) Quelques tâches d'encre de couleurs différentes, en tapotant sur un pinceau fin Quelques tampons "texte", de la peinture acrylique noire avec un masque "losanges", quelques points au Posca blanc (ainsi que le titre) détourés au feutre fin noir J'ai rajouté ensuite un peu de gesso avec le 1er mask utilisé, quelques tâches par-ci par-là, un tampon quadrillage, un peu de peinture bronze etc... et... voilà le résultat final : Vous aimez ?? Excellent week-end à tous, peut-être à lundi, si je ne suis pas partie à la maternité, héhé !!!! Bizzz et merci pour vos coups d'oeil !!! Laé

2016 Topic 13: Paper Piecing Urtica Well hello everyone, Darcy here bringing you a brand new topic. For the next fortnight we will be exploring Paper Piecing. We will be encouraging you to paint and decorate papers to use, or even better use up all your old scraps. If you like jigsaws then you will love paper piecing, and the arrangements can be as simple or as complicated as you wish. First let's clear any confusion about what paper piecing actually is and how it differs from Foundation paper piecing, which is a fabric term. In fabric patchwork there are many patterns that require sharp,clean,crisp edges of fabric to be stitched together. In order to make this easy, there is a technique known as paper piecing, this has been around since the 1770's. Paper is cut, very accurately and then placed onto fabric and basted in place. The fabric is then folded around the paper and pressed. This gives the very sharp accurate edges to the fabric that are needed. Once the fabric pieces have been sewn together the paper templates from inside each piece can be removed. This is a fabric patchwork that has been made using the paper piecing technique inside the fabric to achieve those crisp lines and accurate points. SchenleyP Now for paper piecing as used in paper crafts. For this technique all you need is pretty paper, whether that be scrapbook paper or painted paper. Cut apart the paper and fit it back together, mixing shapes and patterns to create an image. Think of it as paper patchwork. Simple as that.. you can make it as intricate and as layered as you wish, but more of that later. Before we start, let's see who won the Topic 12: Fabric Challenge... We had some really great entries, did you enjoy playing with fabric? it is certainly very different to paper, did you discover a new love? Fabric can take your crafting in a whole new direction or just take your existing repertoire to a new level. PaperArtsy Fresco paints work brilliantly on fabric, if you didn't get chance to join in with the challenge I hope you will try out fabric soon. The winner of Fabric is: Julie from The Created Page Email Darcy to claim your prize. [email protected] Paper piecing can be lots of fun, this technique limits the need for intricate colouring in, though the cutting out can be time consuming.. of course this depends on your chosen image. Piecing can add lots of pattern, texture and interest. Diane Salter uses Gelli prints to great effect to create this elephant. The end project is just wonderful, so full of interest. Follow the link to her blog HERE for the whole process. These are ATC's, they show perfectly how simple paper piecing can be. Even though they use relatively few papers and patterns they are still fun and eye catching. You can see they utilise scrapbooking papers, but mainly just scraps. Memmu This card from Carol again shows how much impact can be achieved from a relatively simple design and just 2 patterns. This next example uses piece photographs instead of patterned papers. This could be a brilliant way to create a memory from holiday snaps. Gerren Lamson Note how the pieces are butted up to each other and they are of a similar weight/medium,style; this is where the technique varies from Collage. A collage usually comprises of pieces that are over lapping and built to form layers, also the pieces do not need to have anything in common. A paper pieced project will use similar weight papers only, whereas a collage utilises book text, fabric, scrapbook paper and all forms of ephemera. This technique can be used in scrapbook layouts, on cards and as mixed media projects, but size it up and you can cover furniture too. Bryonie Porter Or how about this utterly gorgeous paper pieced/patchwork wall, made with vintage wallpaper. Hen So now that we have seen lots of 'flat' projects, how about adding some dimension and creating layers with your 'piecing' When choosing your papers it is important to consider the patterns carefully. Take into account the size and repetition of the patterns, and how they will look on a small scale project. Keep your patterns small, and mix in some plain papers to add balance. You could paint your own papers and add a patterned stamp to create patterned paper. Here is another take on the technique, more patchwork than piecing, but still it uses very pretty papers to create this sampler. The folded edges here add lots of dimension and the buttons really add lots of interest. Leeann Pearce Here is another take on the subject, these are very much mixed media, but paper is involved. I love how they are joined. Donna Downey This one is a bit out there with regard to the technique, is it paper piecing? Well it is pieces of paper, so I guess so! maybe that is stretching the technique a little far, but I really like these tags and I thought you might like them too. Christine Paper piecing has been using in scrapbooking for a long time, it is a great way to add fun characters to a layout. There are thousands of patterns all over the Internet. Mostly they are characters like this snowman. See how each of the pieces has an inked edge, that is something to remember as it makes each piece pop and adds subtle dimension and shading. D . Anderson Traditionally, paper piecing only involves glue, but why not add stitching? there is nothing to stop you, it will add interest and dimension, go for it! Manuela A brilliantly simple way to use this technique would be to create a journal cover, like this one by Els; you could go crazy with colours and patterns. Now how to categorise this one, is it paper piecing? or altered art, some of the pieces are collaged, and it is definitely mixed media. Wherever it belongs it is a great idea and would be a great way to use up paper scraps. SheepBlue Finally let's look at how stamps can be used. This technique makes more out of your stamps, instead of plain images you can have instant colouring in and pattern, and each will be a little different. In this example Kalina has used a digi stamp, patterned papers and colouring in for the skin and shading. This is a great opportunity to take another look at your stamps, which ones will look good over patterned paper? Which ones have 'sections' making it easy to build up the image. This card from Jo Firth Young has utilised the technique and added great patterning to the flowers. Here is a short video from Ruth showing how to stamp and place your patterned, stamped pieces. One last example, I couldn't resist this pieced doggie, perhaps you could do this and create a pieced portrait of your own pet! Simon Hart Now we have seen lots of examples, what will you have a go at? freestyling your own images, using a pattern/template, stamping? There are so many ways to tackle this topic. If your thing is fabric then by all means have a go at the fabric foundation (paper piecing) technique. As collage, paper piecing and decoupage have many similarities and cross over areas it is perfectly reasonable to be able to use them all in your mixed media work. Don't forget to follow Darcy's and Leandra's pinterest boards if this topic pushes your buttons, you will see plenty more examples to whet your appetite there! However you choose to interpret this topic I am really looking forward to seeing what you create over the next 2 weeks!

I've been on the Dusty Attic Design Team for almost 5 years now and one of the first pieces I was given to work with was the French Window Pane....I really loved this window design and was saving it for a special project....almost 5 years later I've finally come up with the special project I wanted to use it on. For this canvas I used loads of Dusty attic chipboard pieces as well as some of their paints and blooms. I always find when it comes to mixed media it is best to show rather than tell so here is a video tutorial I made up (this one is a half hour because I wanted to show all the misting and layering, so grab a cup of coffee or tea, relax and enjoy! Supplies used on this project: ~ 8x10 Canvas ~ Maja Design Patterned Paper (for window) Vintage Summer Basics ~ Dusty Attic Chipboard: DeVine Frame Set, Wrought Iron Fence, Mini Ornate Gate #2, French Window Pane, Brick Wall Panel, Mini Bird Houses, Bird Nests #1, Mini Birds #3, Mini Branches, Monarch Butterflies, Flutterbies #3. ~ Paint: Dusty Attic 'Dusty in Color' paints (Cashmere, Hot Chocolate), Luminarte Silks 'Peridot', Lindy's Stamp Gang spritz (Sea Grass Green, Steampunk Sepia,Treasure Island Aqua), Tim Holtz: Pink Sherbet Alcohol Ink, Antique Linen Distress Paint, Gesso. ~ Prima loose flowers, Dusty Attic mini roses. ~ Stencils: Crafters Workshop 'Art Is' 6x6 stencil, Prima Sunrise Sunset checkered stencil. ~ Home made texture paste ....recipe can be found at this link http://gabriellepollacco.blogspot.ca/2013/06/a-tranquil-moment-with-new-websters.html Here are some close ups again of this canvas that you can view at a more leisurely pace... I also want to thank Janene from The Scrapbook Diaries for all the lovely mixed media supplies she sends me, I got to use lots of them on this project (thanks so much Janene!) xo I hope you enjoyed my video tutorial and hope that I've inspired you to try using chipboard to create your next mixed media canvas design!
