Altered frames

Hello Arty Souls!

I love altering frames. I usually buy them in charity shop and up-cycle them or in some discount store. The idea is not to spend too much money on it and to change it into an art piece:)
It is a great gift idea!

' Embrace your Dream' mixed media on wood for Cozy Challenge with Finnabair + video tutorial

Hello Arty Souls!

Today I wanted to share with you my new project inspired by Finnbair  and her Creative Design team:)
I decided to enter her Finnabair's Cozy Challenge as winter just came and I love to feel wooly and cozy:) And also those colours are outside of my comfort zone (as I always use very vibrant colours). But we need to challenge ourselves sometimes, right? :)
So I decided to work on wood, as it has a cozy texture already:) I used many materials by Prima and Finnbair and also some materials by Lindy's Gang Stamp, Docrafts, 13arts, FaberCastell.

I also did a video! (scroll down to the bottom of this post)



I created my cozy moodboard for inspiration. I use the images from internet but also in the bottom left corner is a journal spread of my friend Marta, who is also a team member of Finnabair's DT:) Her art work is out of this world!


As I am in love with fairies, I decided to add the little one:)






And there is a video tutorial:) Enjoy!

Fairy life- mixed media painting

Hello Arty Souls!

This is my recent painting on 10x10 canvas, which was inspired by Scrap Around The World October Challenge


This was the mood board for the challenge: Vibrant & Glamorous.
What inspired me to create this painting was a combination of gold and purple and also a butterfly :) I sprinkled this lovely combination with a little bit of magic and decided to incorporate a little fairy and its sparkly dust:)




















I hope you enjoyed it!

Love,

Sylwia
