....gave her WINGS!

Hi Peeps! 

I am honored to bring this post to you!

My friend, Candy Rosenberg, posted she was releasing

{a vintage girl}

 FABULOUS products at Creativation 2019.

I was SOO HAPPY for her!

Then she messaged ME asking

if I could create something using her products.

my answer....OF COURSE I could!!

I knew EXACTLY what I was going to do....

You see while wandering through Walmart one day,

with my bestie, Peggalish, I came across

a pair of wooden wings on a stand.

I HAD TO HAVE IT.

I picked it up and noticed it was all whobbly and it even fell apart.

.....but I HAD TO HAVE IT!

SO, I think I paid a whole $1.75

and brought it home.

As a result, I pulled the wooden wings out

removed the Christmas decoration from the front

and proceeded to pull out a few of my FAVORITE PRODUCTS!

The Crafter's WorkshopWhite Gesso

Multi Medium ~ Matte

Vintage Photo ~ Distress Oxide

So, I let the mono printing begin!!

FYI....I used a piece of Tissuestock as my paint palette
which I would in turn use as part of the wings.

Just after I had finished mono printing with the various paints,

I stamped with White Gesso all over the sheets
adding texture and continuity to the papers.

I even stamped on a piece of thin fabric.

LOVE IT!!

After everything was dry,

I diecut the wings making sure to cut pieces for the left and right sides.

(papers facing up and then papers facing down)

I painted Multi Medium ~ Matte to the backsides of the fabric leaves.

When dry, I proceeded to man handles all of the wing pieces.

But they weren't standing apart enough,

consequently, I pulled out my Distress Oxide ~ Vintage Photo.

I then rubbed it onto my craft mat. Just after, I spritzed it with a bit of water

and applied it to the edges of the wings with my finger.

Just after they were all distressed and dry, I let the wing building begin!

I almost forgot, I also "aged" the wooden wings.

I just LOVED how it was coming together. 

Now, for the piece de la resistance

{a vintage girl}

Wicked Wings ~ Small

I dabbed on various colors to give the wings an aged metal look!

I then pulled out a bowl of bits and baubles....

and found the PERFECT addition

to the Wicked Wings ~ Small

a vintage earring and a gear from the

{a vintage girl} 

Steampunk Gear Set.

I finished off the stand by "aging" the wood 

using Archival Inks.

My finished project....

and "gave her Wings"!

PS....see the bricks on the stand base??

my last finishing touch......

They are from 

{a vintage girl}

A play day.....

Sometimes LIFE can become overwhelming....

when it happens to me

I NEED TO CREATE!

To go to my happy place and find some PEACE!

 After hoping along the Mixed Media Mania YouTube Hop

I was inspired to pull out a canvas and to use some BRIGHT colors.
The colors also fell in line with the
Our Mixed Media Moods so it seem PERFECT!

Can I say....it scared me!! So much so, I ran to my kitchen sink,
pulled out a scrub brush and 

scrubbed off as much color as I could.

THEN.....I LOVED IT!
and I could see my background of collaged vintage papers.

To tone it down a tad more, I covered the canvas with
Distress Collage Medium ~ Vintage
When it was dry, I added a very light layer of White Gesso.

From this point on....I went into full CREATE MODE

which to me means.....just create with out documenting!

I used the Butterfly Collage Stencil and applied

a mixture of Light and Fluffy with Champagne Modeling Paste

mixed with......wait for it.....sand!

I accented my canvas with various colored Prills

and one of my FAVORITE stamps.

I hope you enjoyed my FREE CREATE ~ PLAY DAY

I know I did and I LOVE IT!

Family for Life.....US

Hey my friends.....

I am finally home after a WONDERFUL relaxing time in Florida
having fun in the sun and visiting family.

Upon my return, I quickly flipped everything to leave for a 

Scrappy Weekend where I taught 3 classes. 

I returned home to get to go to my 

Favorite 4 year olds Birthday Party.

phewwww!!!

TODAY, I took some me time and had a bit of free creating.

I had this canvas that needed to be redone....

So I grabbed it and let the process just flow...

no videos, no cameras....just creating!!

There is layer upon layer upon layer....

some East Coast sand I brought home from Florida,

a little bit of Seth Apter's Baked Textures,

and Bon Bon and Night Sky Glimmer Glam.

I dropped the colors onto the canvas with a pipette

and moved with various Glimmer Mists.

My sister captured this precious moment of

my FAVORITE niece and I

at my Grandson party.

I knew I wanted to preserve it on canvas

and it just went WONDERFULLY with the canvas.

I cut out our images and adhered them on

a piece of manhandled burlap.

I colored the flowers using various layers of the

Night Sky and Bon Bon Glimmer Glam.

For the leaves I painted on a layer of Night Sky,

when dry I added another layer of Lime Cordial Glam.

I tied a piece of jute around the canvas.

I dug out some of my cardboard letters

and spritzed them with Bronze Glimmer Mist.

This is.......Us!

I hope you enjoyed my creative journey.....

I know it was good for my soul!
