Hopes and Desires by Szafranowe Twory

Good morning, Creative Souls! 

Do you know what’s always the biggest challenge when decorating a clock face?

For me, it’s definitely the fact that the composition has to stay flat so the hands can move freely!

Flat, yet still interesting… and that’s really not easy 

To meet this requirement and still create a beautiful clock, this time I used Fiber Decoupage - it gave an amazing effect in the background while keeping everything nice and flat.

Let me also share a trick on how to surround your main motif with a stencil pattern without creating any texture underneath it.

Simply cut out the exact shape of the motif you plan to glue later from another piece of paper - in my case, it was this Lady.

Place this cut-out shape in the desired spot, apply modeling paste through your stencil, then remove both the stencil and the paper “mask.”

The result?

Where the paper was placed, there’s no stencil pattern - just a perfectly flat surface ready for your main motif.



Do you know this trick?

Let me know how you like my clock in this version! 🖤

Winter canvas by Szafranowe Twory

Check out how beautiful this decoupage paper looks in the background! It creates such an amazing vibe!

It perfectly matches the photo from our vacation.







Thanks to using brown Impasto paint on the edges and applying Soft Gel with Mica through a stencil, the paper blended seamlessly into the background and everything looks like one cohesive piece!

I’m absolutely in love with this effect — what about you?

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
