Mixed Media Altered Frame

Hi guys! I'm back with a new project AND some exciting news! I have finally created a YouTube channel where you can watch how I create my art! It's something that I've wanted to do for a really long time and I'm so proud that I made it happen! Please visit and subscribe to my YouTube channel right Here!

My new project is a mixed media altered frame.  Instead of using it for a photo, I've made it my "canvas".


I really love the way it turned out. I've been seeing this door mould in a lot of projects from my fellow artists and I had to have it!  I love using moulds with paper clay for my embellishments.  I usually make a bunch at one time since they take awhile to air dry.


For this project I used a bunch of Finnabair's Rust Effect Pastes.  They are so full of texture and can transform anything into a magical work of art.  I especially love the new Fantasy Texture Pastes!  The colors are absolutely amazing!  If you haven't tried them yet you are missing out!


I also used some beautiful flowers from Little Birdie Crafts.  I love succulents and this collection is so adorable! It was the first time I had ordered from them and I'm sure it won't be the last!


Well I hope you like my project! Please head on over to my YouTube channel and see how I created it! Don't forget to hit the "Like" and "Subscribe" buttons! Thanks!

xoxo,

Shannon

Shabby Chic Altered Rusty Teapot

Hello! I'm so glad you could join me today as I share my latest project! Finnabair recently came out with some new metal frames and as soon as I saw the Rusty Teapot, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it! The teapot is gorgeous as is, but of course I had to alter it.  Here is my Shabby Chic Altered Rusty Teapot: I added some texture with a stencil and modeling paste.  For color, I chose Lavender Impasto Paint by Finnabair.  It's a really gorgeous hue and I paired it with some accents of Metallique Wax in Aged Brass, also by Finnabair. I used a teacup mould by Stamperia that fit the theme perfectly.  I painted it with Sparks Acrylic Paint in Iris Potion and hi lighted it with wax in White Gold. I decorated the teapot with Prima flowers from the Lavender and Lavender Frost Collections. I added a Victorian Hand from Finnabair's Art Daily collection on top of the teapot's handle.  I colored it with waxes in Heather Hills and Aged Brass.  It was a pe

Mixed Media House for Finnabair's March 2019 Art Recipe Challenge

Hello Friends! I'm excited to share my project with you today! When I saw Finnabair's March 2019 Art Recipe and that they turned it into a challenge, I knew that I had to create something!  Check out this amazing art recipe: Look at those yummy colors and products! The challenge allows you to use colors such as vintage shades of gold, rusty brown, pink, and green.  The Finnabair products that must be used are: Art Basics: Clear Gesso Art Alchemy: Métallique Waxes Art Ingredients: Mini Art Stones Art Extravagance: Icing Paste Here is the project that I came up with for this challenge: I think the real star of this project is the Clear Gesso, even though you can't see it!  I used it to cover the tissue paper so that when I added color, it would sit on top and not absorb into the paper.  It also protected the sticks that I found outside and sealed the ends of them.  I like to use resin with my moulds, but I don't like how shiny they are when hardened.  I co

Mixed Media Mushrooms for Mixed Media Place's April 2019 Challenge

Hello again! I'm so excited to share my newest project with you today! I altered 2 wooden mushrooms that I found at Hobby Lobby. I was really inspired by the mood board for Mixed Media Place's April 2019 Challenge. Take a look at it: Aren't those colors just gorgeous?! Here are my mixed media mushrooms: To color my mushrooms, I used Finnabair pastes and waxes.  I started by applying Texture Fantasy pastes in an ombre' fashion.  Then I applied various shades of Art Alchemy Waxes.  For an added effect, I applied Unicorn Paste randomly. To decorate my mushrooms, I used a variety of beautiful flowers from Prima Marketing. I also used a bunch of Finnabair mechanicals, embossed images, and Tim Holtz paper dolls. Here are a few more photos: Thanks so much for taking the time to see my project! I have a full tutorial up on my YouTube channel! You can see it right  HERE !  Don't forget to subscribe! xoxo, Shannon Mixed Media Mushrooms
