May is here and another challenge at Creative Artiste is here. The theme is Mixed Media Anything Goes.
The term “mixed media art” is a broad definition that covers many arts and crafts, including collage, assemblage (both 2D and 3D), altered objects, including books and boxes, handmade greeting cards, artist trading cards (ATCs) and tags, art journalling and book making as long as you use more then 2 different media's.
The “mixed media” used includes paints, papers and broad range of all descriptions, glues, buttons, fabrics, found objects, photos, metal bits, fibres, things from nature, inks, pencils, crayons, markers, pastels and polymer clays, to name a few.
Our sponsor this month is the Girls at Lindy's. Lindy's Gang is a great company for mixed media supplies. If you have not been to their online it should be a must place to check out their supplies.
I found a plaque at the thrift store of a house and decided the shape was just perfect for my project. I sanded the house and then added my design. To create project I used a combination of stencils, paints, pages of an old book, Tim Holtz's found relatives, a sentiment, keys, crown, house number, and a crescent moon.
