"Anything Mixed Media Goes"

Please make sure you use multiple mediums on your projects. Please respect that we do not currently accept Instagram or Facebook entries. Only correctly linked blog entries please. 

The term “mixed media art” is a broad definition that covers many forms of arts and crafts, including collage, assemblage, altered objects, handmade greeting cards, artist trading cards (ATCs) tags and art journaling  as long as you use different mediums.

The “mixed media” used includes paint, paper, pastes, sprays, powders, textural elements, clay, resins, fabrics, found objects, photos, metal, inks, pencils, markers and pastels to name just a few.

This is my project for this month, I created an altered note book for my hubby to use on holidays this summer. We are taking our RV north for an exploratory adventure of northern Canada (The Yukon and the North West Territories)  for 6 weeks.

The gentlemen and the trains pictures were taken out of a Canadian history magazine. I added metal gears and collaged the names were the areas that we are planning on visiting. 




The texture cover of the book was created using a crackle paint called  Kroma Crackle and distressed spray inks.
