Journey Altered Shaker Hoop by Lanette Erickson

Today I’m sharing an altered hoop with a fun shaker twist! For the base of this project, I used Finnabair’s Time Traveler’s Decoupage Fiber Paper—the vintage tones and elements are absolutely perfect for creating a steampunk-inspired background.

I then built a dimensional cluster using a mix of chipboard, metal embellishments, and resin pieces, layering them to create lots of mechanical detail. To bring everything together and add that beautifully aged look, I used plenty of Finnabair Rust Pastes for rich texture and an authentic rusty finish.

If you’d like to see how this project came together step by step, be sure to check out my full process video on the Finnabair YouTube channel.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this project inspires you—even in a small way—to carve out some creative time and play in your art space.

Until next time,

Hugs & FUN creating!

Lanette

A Trail of Time By Lori Woods

 Hello creative friends! 

Recently I’ve had a lot of deadlines to meet and it made me think a lot about how time changes depending on what you’re doing. Sometimes time goes slowly and sometimes it speeds right past you. I wanted to create a project with this idea in mind.

I started with a base and stencil. I picked out my embellishments- beetles for when time crawls and a bird and dragonfly for when time flies!

I wanted to stay in a theme of the natural elements so I decided to use various shades of green media.

Mixed-media Easter Egg by Kasia Salmanowicz

Hello,

Although there's still a lot of time left until Easter, I've already decided to make an Easter egg. It's different than usual, because it's a mixed-media one, full of textures with the addition of Clay elements and Finnabair moulds, which you're probably already familiar with.

As a base, I chose an egg with a bow made of HDF material, plus pieces of lace and fabric, and accessories from moulds – you can find the full list of products used at the end, so be sure to check it out and visit the Mixed Media Place store.

I chose four colors from the Liquid Acrylic Paint series, which blended beautifully with water. After they were completely dry, I bleached them thoroughly.

I invite you to watch my video tutorial, where you'll see all the steps.

Have a nice day,

Kasia Salmanowicz
