'That fear' - mixed media canvas for Lindy's Stamp Gang

Hi everyone,

Did you know that you can spray on wood ?
Todays make will prove that you don't need many art supplies to create some great looking piece.

To start with I used recycled small wooden pieces which you can find attached to the back on every new canvas. I find those elements very handy and cheap way to get some cool embellishments.

My first step was to stick few wooden bits on the back on my mini canvas.
My next step was to add some string and modeling paste.

As my focus point I added Archival Cast Heart from Prima in the centre of my canvas.
When everything was dry I started spraying my piece.

I used Neon Graffitti set. This set became my very favourite and must have set.

Here are few more photos:

Have a great creative day !

Within heart beat - Assemblage Art + VIDEO tutorial for Finnabair

Hi mixed media friends!
Firstly I must say how happy, honoured and grateful I am for continuing my journey with Finnabair Creative Finn. This is a dream team and being here is such a privilage for me.
I am absolutely over the moon that I can meet you all here in the next months and share my love for mixed media.

Do you know what Assemblage is ?
Today I would like to show you my mixed media assemblage piece.

Assemblage is an artistic form or medium usually created on a defined substrate that consists of three-dimensional elements projecting out of or from the substrate. It is similar to collage, a two-dimensional medium. It is part of the visual arts, it typically uses found objects, but is not limited to these materials.

This piece was in my head for a long time. I had kept this old broken telly part and waited for an inspiration to come.
I could see my finished project right away but... it kept on changing while I was creating.

It's special piece... two hearts... connected by wire like myself and my daughter Emily... (you can see her small hand on the video for split second :)

As you can see main telly part was left uncoloured. In my first vision I hoped to blend in all the elements and cover it with some colour. At the end I left the original green and decided to find some coordinating shades and match small findings to my main green colour.

I added many found objects and craft embellishments like metal pieces, chipboards and resin elements.

To colour my make I used new colours of Mica Powders from Finnabair and gel medium.
By mixing gel medium and mica powders you will get a great shiny paint.
As you can see all coloured elements are having this fantastic shimmery shine.
I hope you will enjoy the video!

Love, Marta xx
