Imagine Your Life

Hi my Lovely Readers!
Kasia came up with the most perfect project to start the New Year with. You will love her beautiful mixed media reminder!

We hope you will join Kasia and create your own pretty sign that will help you focus on whatever's important for you in 2017. Don't forget to share your makes in our Finnabair&Friends Open Studio facebook group!

pssst... Don't miss my brand new Art Alchemy Waxes giveway! Still time till Sunday. Good luck you all! :)

Hello friends in the New Year! As many of you, I too have my terms, dreams and goals to achieve. But this time I'm going to go after what I want, instead of waiting. I think this is the perfect plan. Keep fingers crossed! 

For a good start, I made this mixed media banner that is going to be my motivator, a driving force to action. Maybe you will feel inspired to create your own one, too.
I used a lot of Mechanicals metal embellishments, some pieces from Prima moulds and crystals.
Even though my banner is not large, I wanted to create a feeling of rich texture and deep space.


I believe a little bit of Glliter is always a good idea. :)
Once I arranged my composition, I covered it all with Heavy White Gesso to achieve a mysterious, foggy effect. It also beautifully highlighted all the details and "softened" the glitter effect.

As for the color effects, I used Mica Powders that are such an amazing and versatile product!
You can make your own pastes, paints and mists simply mixing in these magical powders - just imagine the possibilities...
Or you can also simply sprinkle the surface with this shiny product and spray it with water. That's what I did here and I got some really beautiful color transitions.

I made a video tutorial especially for you so you can follow my creative process. Enjoy!




I hope I made you inspired to create your own inspiring signs like mine.
Happy Creative 2017 to you all!
Kasia
