Everyone has a story - mixed media canvas for Finnabair CT

Hello, this is my new project for Finnabair Creative Team.

This time I set off feeling like making something with a fresh, modern feel, using strong, bright colors. And as you will see in the video below, it started quite well. But at some point my work somehow turned into a path called "vintage". ;) I think it's all because of these amazing Vintage Collectibles Ephemera pictures, I love to work with them! They look so authentic, I always have the feeling that I create projects using real family photos.


In this project, I used some recycled stuff. First of all, I took leftovers from chipboards and made a background. And then it was enough to add colors with Mica Powders and Art Alchemy paints, and I was able to create a glamorous, rich background.

I also found in my junk box some transparent plastic circles. I stamped them with some Vintage Vanity 'Book' text stamp. You have to use permanent ink for that, e.g. StazOn ink. It works great on smooth surfaces. I encourage you to come up with and make your own embellishments - they will be unique and add a very personal touch to your artworks.



You know how much I love layers. So also in this project I couldn't resist and I created a dimensional, 'piled up' composition. I used papers and add-ons from 7 Dots Studio. All separated with pieces of cardboard. I don't like to use foam tape - as I use the heat tool all the time, when in contact with high temperature, the foam tape tends to fall off.



I'd like to encourage you to reach for the photos that truly speak to you.Each of them carries an inspiring story which makes it so easy to make a special art piece and adds a unique charm to your creations.


Please enjoy my video and if you have any questions, don't hesistate to ask.

Capture the moments - canvas for Prima Art Recipe

Hello,
this project was made for new Prima Art Recipe. Please feel free to visit Prima blog to see inspirations from Finnabair Team.


This color combo was quite a challenge for me, not exactly my first choice of a color palette. But, I'm so glad I took this challenge - I love it and I think it will be one of my favorite color choices from now on. I created a mixed-media canvas with a little bit of masculine (or maybe boyish? :) ) look. The whole composition is rich in embellishments and add-ons, very dimensional, and full of layers.

The background is also quite varied - I used pieces from moulds, metal embellishments, and clear Art Pebbles. The colors come from Mica Powders and Art Alchemy paints. I lightened them gently with White Heavy Gesso.



I used Art Alchemy Waxes to turn chipboard elements into metal-looking parts. The waxes are just perfect for this! For me, the best way to apply the Waxes is simply with my fingers. :) This way you can easily control the amount, and the way you want to apply them. I really love the smooth, shiny effect. And let's not forget the delicious scent accompanying you as you create. ;)

Follow your heart - mixed media wooden house

Hello friends!
This is my new project - a wooden mixed media house. It can be an extraordinary and unusual wedding or birthday gift. 

The main decoration is very rich and multi-layered background. I made it with a lot of metal elements and some pieces from Prima moulds. 

All colors are from ColourArte Primary Elements Artis Pigments
And the last step was a small touch of Finnabair new waxes.
