Altered Mixed media frame

Greetings!!!

I would like to share my new experiment with altering old frames.I pulled out some of the very old products from my stash, plus a few from here and there. I was trying to find inspiration since many days and finally I found one.

I have added some wooden embellishments too. I did not have black gesso, so i added black acrylic with Camel texture white and then gave my frame couple of coats.

Here are some pictures of the frame before i started painting.







When it dried, I added Fevicryl colurs - Pearl Gold, Green and some blue shades.
Here are some pictures of final layout.













Thank you so much for stopping by :)

Greetings!!!     I love reading books. Thought it would be fun to create vintage themed mini book.      Created this little 1' by 1'5" book. Book cover and pages all are made up of paper and glue.         Here are some pictures.           Made one more steampunk themed piece.            Rust effect in the frame is added using embossing powder with modelling paste.     Thank you for stopping by :)

Art Journal - Create Imagine Inspire

Hello everyone, Sharing another art journal layout with you all. This art journal is inspired from  Vicky's Style art journal . I enjoyed watching her how-to video.

Then I used Tim Holtz Burlap stencil all over the page with my texture paste. I added some more Golden turmeric and dark brown color to make it look like old burlap piece.. But needless to say i totally failed :D I tried fitting zipper. But I could not make it wor

Art Journal - So many Books, So little time

Hi all, a very good morning Today I am sharing another art journal layout inspired by Vicky's  Art journal page: Reading . I loved the way she made a stack of books using card stock and distress inks. I chose different quote for art journal and accordingly made changes in elements. I decided to add clock in background. I stamped clock numbers on white cardstock using Ranger archival ink and then coloured it with Artistry ink - Blue Moon I made clock hands from white card stock and coloured them with Artistry ink - dark Umber. It was fun. To add more fun to this page I added wooden owl sitting on the top of book stack. Sharing some more pictures of final layout. Thank you for stopping by :)
