Prize ~ 2 Digital Images

Ike's Art

Prize ~ $10 Gift Certificate

Pattie's Creations

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

This is my project, an art journal page Using Ike's Art digital image 

Pan Jaun

I had fun with this art journal page because I decided to use one of my Citra Solv /National Geographic pages as my background to the project. 

I have a stack of pages in my stash that I had made a long time ago.  Working on this piece got me interested in the procedure all over again. 

This is what my altered page looked like before I made my project. 

I decided to scan the image and create my project on a copy of the image.  I was originally going to use the original but the other side of the paper also had a beautiful design made by the Citra Solv. I also decided to make the image a little larger so that it fit in my art journal.  I have save many pages that I have made with this process and with my gel plate to use on future projects. 

I added the Pan Jaun image to the page after I coloured it with 

copics. I added  stamped butterflies, birds, and rabbits to create a scene. I tried to create more depth to the project with with black and with charcoal pencils. 

Pan Jaun in ancient Greek religion and mythology was the god of the wild, shepherds and flocks, nature of mountain wilds, rustic music and impromptus.

I tired to reflect this in what I added to the art journal page in stamps and  words.

Altered Metal Bird House

Our theme is always

"Anything Mixed Media Goes"

Please make sure you use multiple mediums on your  projects.

Please respect that we do not accept Instagram entries. Only correctly linked blog entries please.

This is my project for June, an Altered metal bird house.

This is the very old metal bird house a neighbour had given me to alter.  I added a coat of gesso to the house before I started to colour the house.

I decide to make a fairy house out of the metal bird house.  For my inspiration for the colour of my fairy house came from some Graphic Fairy paper I had in my stash. 

Once I had the house painted I coated the house with a layer of Tim Holtz's

Idea-ology tissue wrap. 

Other views 

I decided to give the fairy house an ambarella roof with a fairy on top. The silhouette fairy are die cuts from my stash. 

Side Views

The door, window and frames were findings from my stash.  I added some dotted details using a white marker and white Nuvo and some glitter paint to give the house some sparkle.
