Love You Forever

Hello friends,
I am back to you with very special project... project in the memory of Suzi.

Loosing a pet it's never easy... but seeing your child saying godbye it's the hardest thing ever.
This page was created for Finnabair Creative Team only last night... with very much broken heart but I felt I had to and needed to do it, simple but very meaningful.

The texture and colours are reflecting my mood... I wanted to capture the thoughts we all had.
I believe that saying things out loud helps...

To create the texture I used lace and modeling paste through the stencil.
To colour my piece I used Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays and silver Finnabair acrylic paint from Prima.

As my final touch I added three Finnabair metal hearts using gel medium.

ps. Only less than 2 weeks ago... I recorded Suzi in this video - you can see her at around... 25:16 minutes. :) .......


 

Wishing you all the best,
Love, Marta xx

All about TEXTURE - 20 ideas Mixed Media Art Tutorial

Hello my dear friends :)

Today it's gonna be a little special. Why ? I am gonna talk as usual about projects, videos etc but... 
I will also talk about you guys, yes YOU !

But before that... let me just share with you the yummy textures created in All about Texture video :)
I had to capture those textured cards before I turn them into coloured art pages!
Only now, when I look at them all together I see why you enjoyed this video so much. 
I do feel inspired already only by looking at them :)

Finally I had a chance to make some individual photos :) 
I also added some titles for better explanation. 
It's like a library of the texture ideas :)

In one video we created 20 different textures, I showed you all from start to finish. We used product packaging, recycled cardboard that everyone has at home. Those looks like big, fat tags :)

At the end of the video I quickly finished one of the textured backgrunds and created this piece!

After watching several of my videos wheter they were about texture or starting a page... you have shared a huge amount of projects with me!

I would love to share those with you today.
 Take time and look at them closely! Stunning pieces!

Thank you dear friends for watching my videos, for taking time to create and for sharing your makes on my Facebook and my Instagram. I am so grateful for each and everyone of you and so very proud!

You shared plenty projects on Instagram...

If you missed the video all about 'TEXTURE', here it is :)

 

Textures, all in one! I am in looooove :)

I knew you were waiting for another episode of  'TEXTURE' series so I made a NEW video where I finished 2 packing cards!

For those who didn't see it, please feel free to watch it :)

Again, you have made my day by sharing your attempts, stunning creative works where some of you just started the mixed media journey for the first time, some were stuck with no inspiration and some of you just felt like creating.
It is my biggest pleasure and reward to see your makes, to see your trials and to walk next to YOU in your creative path.
Look at this collage of stunning projects inspired by my videos, I am absolutely stunned and proud!

 From the bottom of my heart... THANK YOU!
You have given me so much love and support that I am not even sure how to thank for.
You found courage to make a piece, then you were strong enough to share it with us on Maremi's Facebook, I am proud and HAPPY!

Lastly I wish to share my latest recycled cards... I adore the texture and how different those are.

To all You Artists!
