Mixed Media cardboard set of Drawers

Hi Friends

Sharing a three drawer cardboard drawer set made by recycling packaging material. I have used DecoArt Supplies ......Decoart Black Gesso, Fluid metallics and Metallic Lustre in Burnished Brass , Majestic Purple and Gold Rush to create this .........

I had three tray boxes of packaging which I stacked on top of each other with thick sheet of cardstock in between ......then measured and wrapped all three with corrugated cardstock recycled from packaging ......

Fixed Bottle cap legs to the box and did stenciling with black Modeling Paste from DecoArt.......I started adding layers of various embellishments in metal, plastic and wood....

Spray with diluted Fluid metallic in DecoArt Cobalt Teal Hue and Cobalt turquoise and highllighted with the metallic lustres .......

Little Birdie Mixed Media Art Journal

Mixed Media Art Journal 

Hi Friends

Sharing today my work with Little Birdie’s new mixed media art journal and Embossing Paste -Frosty Fizz and Iced Slate from Itsy Bitsy.

I was very excited to receive the Mixed Media journal and Embossing Paste

from Itsy Bitsy and created this sea theme Journal page ....

I decided to work on the Kraft page and have used only the Embossing Texture Paste in Frosty Fizz and Iced Slate to create textures on my page. I have used thin layers of Embossing Texture Paste directly without using Gesso on the page. It is better to gradually add thin layers of the paste and then heat the layers to get textures going  rather than applying thick layers of the paste………

I have used the Little Birdie Embossing heat gun to heat emboss the paste……

Hi Friends

I created this simple cardboard gift box with Little Birdie Embossing Texture Paste  Embossing Paste -Frosty Fizz and Iced Slate and Color Splash by Little Birdie…. 

Applied some Embossing Paste through a stencil and heat embossed the same………the embossing paste gives raised texture. It is possible to build interesting layers of texture , the resultant  texture is tint-able and light.

Sketching faces in Little Birdie Eco Journal Mixed Media

Colored Pencil on Kraft in  Little Birdie Eco Journal Mixed Media 

Hi Friends .....

Sharing some sketches in the Little Birdie Eco Journal Mixed Media.  The different working surfaces in the journal like Burlap, Corrugated Canvas , Kraft and handmade paper allows one to try out various techniques and supplies and it is great fun !! 

I have used Faber castell colored pencils, Charcoal pencils and a white Uniball pen in these sketches. Lot more practice is needed but I get very fascinated to draw faces and these are far from good but sharing nonetheless :)
