Welcome to my crafting blog. After retirement, my husband and I moved to a beautiful location in the Okanagan area of British Columbia. I love all paper crafts including mixed media, journaling and cards. I also dabble in papermaking, photography, fibre art, and altered books. I am an active member of several card and mixed media groups and on the design team of several challenge blog. I love the world of blogging, it has opened many doors for me. My favourite quote is by Maya Angelou. “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” I hope you join me in my search for my creative side. Thanks for stopping by!

Creative Artiste February 2025 - Mixed Media Challenge Blog

 Time for another great challenge over at Creative Artiste

Our theme is as always 

"Anything Mixed Media Goes"

Welcome back to our first Challenge Blog at Creative Artiste for 2025. Hope everyone had a very  Happy Holiday Season. I am really looking for to crafting with all of you this year.

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

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 February. I have created a mixed media wall hanging using pieces I have accumulated in my stash over the years.



 

Product I used for this wall hanging are:

a door knob plate

parts of a large belt made some different shaped metal decorations

another belt  that was made of many with different metal circles

Crackling paste

metal corners

several different ink and waxes

Dollar store gems




Thank you for stopping by and have  a creative week. Hope you will join us this month, we would love to see your mixed media projects. Remember to pop over to our challenge blog to be inspired by our talented design team.
