I've been crafty

 

 

 

I've discovered it's okay to get paint on your hands

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've also discovered mixed media!

This is a recycled "canvas" from work.

A box, the size of a canvas, that would have been thrown away.

 

.... just the beginning of a mixed media piece

This pig is not cute.

I got her at Goodwill for $3.00.

I took her button eyes off, unscrewed the hook on her nose, took off the tape/price tag from her behind and gave her a good sanding and then some kilz spray paint.

I'm thinking she'll look cute with a chevron pattern painted on her.

 

What do you think?

Audrey....i believe

Remember this Sneak Peek?


Well... I finished my project. I like how it turned out, but there is some smearing in the ink that I'm not too happy with. I always find lots of pictures online that I print out for my mixed media pieces, but when I mod podge them they usually smear. I finally googled it to see how to fix the problem. Clear acrylic sealer should do the trick! Unfortunately I didn't know this trick when I did this piece so I guess I'll just have to live with the smears. I plan to do some more of these (and I bought some sealer.)

 I think they're great gifts for teen girls. One of my daughters has already claimed this one :)


I just love Audrey's attitude.

i believe too

... more pics

Playing around with PicMonkey.

I love PicMonkey.

Ok, enough picture editing in PicMonkey :)

Here's how i made this work of art craft...

Found a pic of Audrey on Google images

Found the quote by her and typed it up and printed it out

Tore the picture so i wouldn't have straight edges

Cut out the quote

Bought a 6x6 3D stretched canvas (4 pack for cheap at Wally World)

Mod Podged it all (with a little smearing, but NO MORE SMEARS since I bought some acrylic sealer)

I'm thinking of adding ribbon for hanging on my next one. What do you think?

Love Who You Are Collage~

I got this lovely plaque at Goodwill for a dollar or two....

I brought out the white and red spray paint and covered up the lovely picture...

Gathering up pieces for collage...

Trying to figure out where to put things....

Finished... i think... it was my first collage so I have some

learnin' to do. I was pretty happy with the way it turned out.

.... except, that cute little crystal/beauty mark is covering up a big ol' hole

that I made while trying to smooth out a bubble.

Oh well, i like things that aren't perfect.

 I just love this picture of the girl

The picture says....
