media monday there are so many different artists that i love but vincent van gogh would have to be very high on my list of favourites i love his art so decided to paint a little tribute to him this week it is painted on to a stretched canvas 14x18 inches or 35 x 45 cms peeping through are three of his more famous paintings and i also added some of the lyrics of the don mclean song starry starry night since the song kept playing in my head while i was painting that seems to be happening to me a lot lately it was basically created with acrylic paints modelling paste for texture and stencils rubber stamps etc for some visual texture and depth as well posted by diane at 8 49 am 24 comments monday september 20 2010 mixed media monday buttons i chose buttons off the top of my head for this week s mixed media monday challenge i decided i felt like continuing to play with polymer clay so the idea of my little jack in the box or should i say jacqueline in the box was born her head and arms are made from polymer clay and her facial features are painted with acrylic paints her little dress is fabric and lightly stuffed apart from the obvious buttons on her dress i used tiny buttons to attach the arms like a lot of vintage dolls and bears and also used a flower button and tiny button for the embellishment on the box posted by diane at 8 42 am 14 comments monday september 13 2010 i have been wanting to i chose i have been wanting to as the theme for mixed media monday this week to give people the little push they might need to try something they have been wanting to try for some time but haven t i have been wanting to try a steam punk pendant for ages so this was my opportunity to actually do it the pendant looks a lot bigger than it actually is because the bust isn t all that big it is made from gold silver and copper metallic polymer clay and is also dusted with some mica powders to give it a lovely metallic look i used some watch parts and other bits and pieces to finish it off posted by diane at 8 24 am 14 comments monday september 6 2010 mixed media monday warm it up i usually love working with warm colours much more so than with cool colours that s why i was happy to have warm it up as a challenge on mixed media monday this week but then my muse worked out the door and didn t return probably in protest that my studio is still not set up and everything is in boxes so left to my own devices i was struggling the song it s too darn hot sung by ella fitzgerald of course kept running through my mind so maybe my muse was sending tiny hints from afar but i needed more help than that this piece was done on a canvas board using computer generated lyrics and image oil pastels and acrylic paint tissue for texture and some chipboard oh and a paint pen for those dots posted by diane at 9 30 am 16 comments monday august 30 2010 mixed media monday cool it down after i chose this challenge for mixed media monday i wondered why cool colours are not something i work with easily i tend to gravitate to warm colours much more in my art then i remembered this gorgeous blue bottle that my daughter commandeered from her boyfriend for me i think it had chilli wine in it so the idea for an art doll developed i used a silvery blue fabric paper i m not sure what it is called some laces a pair of feathery wings an old plastic doll s head and a few other bits and pieces to create her posted by diane at 9 54 am 16 comments monday august 23 2010 mixed media monday seeing red it was great having the luxury of beth hosting over at mixed media monday this week it took the pressure off me having to produce a sample piece so i took advantage of the opportunity and did a journal page about becoming an empty nester this week my three children are all depicted by the birds flying the nest but i do actually know where they ve gone lol this was done in a water colour journal using mainly water colour paints and pitt brush markers posted by diane at 9 40 am 24 comments monday august 16 2010 mixed media monday embellish it i have to admit to a little self indulgence when i chose the theme for this week s mixed media monday challenge i wanted an opportunity to use some of the beautiful laces painted by my daughter danni they are just so beautiful my piece is worked on a sweet little 15x15 cm or 6x6 in canvas with different fabrics and silks the image is an image transfer onto fabric and it looks better in real life it didn t photograph all that well then of course the gorgeous laces give it a rich delicious finishing touch well actually they are what makes the piece the good news is that danni has given me some of the dyes so i m going to have a go at dyeing some myself one day soon posted by diane at 8 59 am 22 comments older posts
