Artwork consisting of different media
MASTERBOARD BOOK - BOOK PAGE COLLAGE I have just added another page to the masterboard book which I recently started. It is a book page collage. This was relatively quick to do, because I had a pile of book pages after trimming away the white borders, ready for making tags and other projects.…
TAGS FROM CAT FOOD BOXES My hubby was throwing some cat food boxes into the recycling bin the other day and I intervened on their behalf, offering them a new lease of life. These boxes contain several small tins of the food we get on subscription online. The boxes have some nice plain…
TAG TOPPERS I am currently making a collection of tags from recycled packaging, and as part of the process, I am making tag toppers. This project is also a stand-alone one, because I'm making a large number of these toppers which will go in my stash, ready to be used when required. The…
WATERCOLOUR FLORAL DOODLE Following on from my recent watercolour doodle, I thought I'd have another go at this gorgeous technique. Building it up layer by layer, the result is deceptively complex, when it is actually really easy to do. Layer 1 - Creating the grid I began as before by creating a grid…
MASTERBOARD BOOK - SCRAP BUSTING PROJECT After quite a lot of precise, detailed work recently, I felt the need to splurge a bit, and have a session splashing about in the studio and getting inky and making a general mess (needing to mop the floor afterwards!). Tea and coffee-dyeing, inking, stamping, stencilling... all…
DOODLING IN CIRCLES Watching a video from a year ago on Zenart Doodle's YouTube channel the other day, I thought I'd give this technique a try. It's a mixed media project, and as you build up the layers, it is hard to imagine the starting point. Looking closely, you can still see it,…
ALL MY GOLDS Sorry, Mr. Shakespeare - "All that glisters IS gold" - at least in Shoshi's book! A friend recently asked me about what gold I like to use in my art, and rather than just replying, I thought I'd do a post about it because it might be of interest or…
LITTLE TEA BAG BOOK Have you ever gone into your studio intending to do one thing, and coming out having done something completely different? I have - this afternoon. I am in the middle of a major tidy-up in the chaos pretending to be my studio, and have made good progress. I fully…
DANGLES WITH UV RESIN DISCS AND BEADS Having finished adding UV resin to the small circular floral images, I have now made them into a set of dangles with beads. I have spent two afternoons and an evening working on them. It's a pretty fiddly job and I was glad of my magnifying…
UV RESIN - SMALL CIRCULAR DIGITALS Shoshi is resinating with a new art form! I've done a bit of UV resin work with a small starter kit, but the lamp proved rather inadequate. I have now bought a new one which is much better. Some time ago I downloaded some digitals from Dragana…
