Mystical Notebooks and Diary

Hey Hey 

Well it is very hectic here which is one of the reason why I am a little quiet on the blog front at the moment but there is some posts to come :)

I have been very busy over the last few weeks firstly making products for the Halloween Market Night I took part in then I had class kits to prepare ready for my Stationery Box Class in November and then getting other products made for the next market night all while doing my Design Team projects. I love keeping busy 

So enough blubbering on here is some NEW products which will be available in the Mystical Magical Myth Market Night on 4th - 5th November on Facebook.

First up I have done two A5 Notebooks the first one features the beautiful Unicorn from the Believe In Unicorns Stamp Set

Then we have the second A5 Notebook which I have used a mixture of different stamps on

Finally this beauty which is a Week to View 2018 Diary

The backgrounds on each one of these has been achieved by using Distress Inks and the blending tool along with the stamps and a stencil.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing these latest pieces I have been busy working on and hopefully will become a permanent product on my Facebook Page and Etsy Shop

Steampunk Mixed Media Skull Canvas

Hello Lovelies.

Well it is all go here at HQ as I have a couple of market nights I am taking part in so have been busy working on products for those,I also have a class I am teaching in November so have been busy getting things in order for all that amongst much more.

So today I have a new creation to share with you all which has been made for the Halloween market night I am taking part in. 

Here is my Steampunk Mixed Media Skull Canvas

This picture was taken with the flash on with a little more light

Here we have some close up pictures to show the detail and texture on the canvas

A close up picture of the skull in the centre of the canvas 

Lastly another picture of the canvas but this time with not flash

This canvas was so much fun to bring to life and I love how it all came together. 

The products I used to make this piece are as follows:

9 x 9 inch Canvas

Sand Texture Paste 

Crackle Paste 

Modelling Paste

I am loving working with the Art Alchemy waxes they are so easy to use and give a stunning effect, they also smell really nice too, as you can see from the list I used a variety of different materials to give me the texture and look I was going for.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing this and it has given you some inspiration to get your mixed media products out and to get messy and creative, remember there are no mistakes only happy accidents.
