Cities may have loads of opportunities and energy but have also been linked to a variety of issues affecting human well-being. Traffic noise, commutes, and pollution all end up affecting our stress levels and even our sleeping habits. City planners have the responsibility to ensure that we don’t all go crazy just living our lives.

Eva Isaksen was born and raised in Bodø, Norway and currently lives and works in Seattle, Washington. Isaksen’s intricate artworks are created through an equally intricate process combining collage, printmaking, and painting techniques. Using items from her garden, Isaksen creates monoprints on fiber paper, which are layered with an acrylic medium, leaving visible only what has been printed. Each artwork consists of numerous layers of monoprints, creating one cohesive composition full of color and depth. Material and environment dialogue within her vision as organic forms, seasons, cycles, growth, and regeneration transform into order, repetition, and rhythm. Her art-making process of print, resist, and reduction further resembles the growth and cyclic changes in nature. Isaksen’s work has been exhibited internationally and is part of public and private collections in Norway, Japan, and the United States. Isaksen was also honored with a Fellowship from Artists Trust in 2011. "Seeds and Beads", Contemporary, Mixed Media, Collage, Canvas, Printmaking

I am often asked what is the difference between the DecoArt crackle mediums so I thought I would take the four that I use most and give you an explanation of each one. Each of my coffee cups on this media board have been crackled with one of the four and the board itself and the saucer are a double up (see below). So four products and five outcomes. This was a brilliant opportunity to have fun with crackle so thank you Evelyn for the fabulous theme, which is the new challenge over at Country View Crafts Challenge Blog. Crackle Paint Fast-drying Crackle Paint crackles as it dries naturally to create an eggshell pattern in just one step. Apply with a soft brush over a sealed surface and as the paint dries, it will begin to crack, showing the base colour underneath. The size of the cracks are governed by the thickness of the application - ie the thinner the paint is applied the smaller the cracks and the thicker the application the larger the cracks. White Crackle Paint is tintable and can be coloured with up to 20% of the media fluid acrylics or can also be painted. It is also available in black. 1. Base colour - Raw Umber. White Crackle Paint Crackle Glaze Clear Crackle Glaze is a fast-drying, acid-free topcoat that will crackle as it dries to create an eggshell pattern in one step. It should be applied over painted, sealed surfaces, its clear finish allows details and colours to show through and it is self-levelling. Apply with a soft brush and again the the size of the cracks is governed by the thickness of the application. Once dry, the cracks can be antiqued with Media Antiquing Creams, apply your chosen colour, let it dry and then wipe back with a soft damp cloth. You can also stamp over it. 2. Base colour - Medium Grey Value 6. Clear Crackle Glaze Antiquing Cream - white Crackle Paste Dimensional Crackle Paste is a white paste that creates an eggshell cracking pattern as it air dries. It can be used alone or as a stencil paste. It can also be used with a palette knife to build texture, and will give bigger cracks with thicker application and shows the base colour underneath. Media Crackle Paste can be tinted with up to 20% Media Fluid Acrylics or painted with them. 3. Base colour - Paynes Grey. White Crackle Paste through a cracked stencil Weathered Wood crackle medium Weathered Wood is from the DecoArt Americana range Apply this medium after base coating with the colour you want to appear through the cracks. Top with the final coat of paint and it will crackle almost immediately as it dries to create an eggshell pattern, giving a vintage, distressed finish. DecoArt advise that you let this product dry naturally but I have had good results by drying it with my heat gun and heat drying the top coat of paint too. You can also change the way the cracks appear by painting the top coat in different directions. Take a look at Andy Skinner's video here. 4. Base colour - Dark Grey Value 3. Weathered Wood Crackle Medium Top Coat - Titanium White Mega Crackle Mega Crackle is achieved by combining two DecoArt mediums, weathered wood and white crackle paint. Really large cracks can be achieved with this technique as can be seen on this media canvas board and yes it works on canvas too. See how it is achieved by watching Andy's video here. I used the same technique on the saucer too. Here they are all together. I distressed the cups ..... .... found a quote I like and typed it out on media paint distressed card (this saying could definitely be me lol) ...... .... and stamped and stencilled and sealed the background with ultra matte varnish ..... ...... and finally completed the project. I hope you will be able to stop by the Country View Crafts challenge blog to take a look at the fabulous projects from the rest of the team and maybe enter one yourself. For now have a fabulous week with whatever you have planned. hugs Brenda xxx Products for this project DecoArt White Crackle Paint DecoArt Media Enhancer - Clear Crackle Glaze DecoArt white crackle paste DecoArt Weathered Wood crackle medium Sizzix Bigz Die - Tea Time by Tim Holtz DecoArt Mixed Media Fluid Acrylic - Raw Umber DecoArt Mixed Media Fluid Acrylic 1oz - Medium Grey Value 6 DecoArt Antiquing Cream - Titanium white DecoArt Mixed Media Fluid Acrylic - Paynes Grey Tim Holtz Layering Stencil - Shatter DecoArt Mixed Media Fluid Acrylic 1oz - Titanium White - See more at: http://www.countryviewcrafts.c Tim Holtz distress ink pad - Ground Espresso DecoArt Media Enhancer - Ultra Matte Varnish Tim Holtz Cling Mounted Stamp Set - Zigzag & Diamonds Stamp InLinkz.com

I had forgotten this one (above) which is a mixed media collage utilizing my drawings on lokta paper. These are very small watercolors sometimes with inks. They measure 8" x 8" on khadi paper. One could call them exercises. I have been trying to loosen up....not an easy thing, I repeat not an easy thing ,but I have made some progress.
