A teraz trochę danych o mnie... (inglisz)

And now - some more fun! Here are some things you may not know about me...

 1.    I am from Warsaw, Poland and I am currently designing for Tattered Angels and 2 polish shops: Scrapki.pl and Lemonade Stamps. I'm also a sponsored designer for Dusty Attic and Layers of Color. I also design for challenge blogs like Creative Therapy or Подари кусочек счастья....

2.    I live with my husband, Jędrek, beagle named Ira and 2 parrots.

3.    On my desk right now you will find a big pile of metal rubbish, some paper doilies and a lot of ink.

4.    My favourite colours to work with at the moment are black, white, cream... and many many more!

5.    What kind of themes do you often scrap?

Most of the times I treat scrapping as a wa of expresing myself - I do it for my own pleasure and to show my emotions, interests, moods. I usually try to put a piece of mysef in every single project I do. On the other hand I love scrapping the old family photos - my albums and layouts are also a kind of a family keepsake for me.

6.    Where do you scrap?

I've got a big desk and a scrapping corner in one of our rooms. I wish I had a whole room ust for me - but in the flat it is impossible.

7.    What is your scrapping process? 

It depends: when I do mixedmedia projects I usually start with an idea or at last a part of it - I can see the the canvas or altered item ready or almost done. It changs of course during the process, but I like surprises:) With traditional paper pages i usually start with a photo and a blank paper - I wait for the first idea and I just start scrapping :)

8.    My favourite food is hot and spicy, usuall with chesse.

9.    My top 3 favourite tools are sprayers, edge distresser and a inking tool.

10. I get my inspiration from all that is around me - the city, people, music, other scrappers and mixed-media artists work. I enjoy looking through galleries and visiting flea markets. I also get inspiration from products - stamps, masks, paint... inspiration is everywhere!

11. My technique for this week is painting with gesso. It is a very easy idea, which you can use both for your backgrounds and embellishments. On this layout i placed all the embellishments around the photo and colored them (and a bit of background too) with 3 shades of blue Glimer Mist. When it was dry I took a bit of gesso on the big, dry paintbrush and painted the embellies and background - very light and delicate. The final effect depends on how much paint do you use - the more gesso, the less "colorfu" layout you get. Have a good time with creating!
