If I were to write about my art journey, it would take a reaaally long post... ;)
So today let me just show you my visual take on the theme.
This layout is a project made for Harsh & Soft class from my Industrial Baroque series of workshops.
I love this class because that's when I can convince you that grunge can be feminine, eclectic and a little wild. :)
Supplies I used here are: my Mechanicals embellishments (including metal labels), pieces of various resist canvas from my Elementals collection, gesso and LuminArte paints.
Harsh & Soft class is also about looking at embellishments and everyday objects with a fresh eye.
Which is exactly what I did here.
And here's a question for you - who doesn't like a good guessing game, right? ;) -
When you look closer at the plastic gear right between my photo and the "journey" label - can you guess where it came from?
Hint, hint: it's a part from one of well-known and widely used craft tools...
Any ideas, dear friends? :)
[EDIT]: So, yes - you guessed! The gear came from the inside of E-Z Runner by Scrapbook Adhesives. Well-done guessing! ;)
Have an artful weekend!
Hugs
p.s. In case you missed this week's big news, hop over and read why Andrew and I are so thrilled! ;)
Does it come from a big shot ?
ReplyDeleteLove the layout... is that plastic gear from the inside of a tape runner? I do recognize it! Genius idea! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful LO again - I love your work, dear Anna! The plastic gear is out of a tape runner for sure (I saved one last week out of a empty one).
ReplyDeleteDear Anna, do you come to Germany again? Especially to Bavaria? I really would LOVE to get in one of your classes to learn from you.
Have a nice weekend
I think all your layouts are absolutely gorgeous, congratulations on the new online store!
ReplyDeleteYep, it's from the inside of a tape runner. I'm positive! :D
ReplyDeleteIt's from a roll of tape or a tape runner, right?? I love the way you use this and that, and have started saving more stuff to use on this type of page-thanks for the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous layout, and brilliant use of the gear!!

oh ellen beat me to it I thought a tape runner too. Am only new to your blog and loving your style, I find it hard to put one embellishment on my work as I think of how much they cost, I really need to let go, because your work is simply stunning. Also I do have a small craft shop in my home. LOL
ReplyDeleteWOW Finn this is absolutely stunning! I just love visiting to see your amazing creations.

I collect them too (from the print roller hihihi)
ReplyDeleteFantastic. I'm one your fans who always study your work in minute detail. It's so fun to keep us guessing! Best of luck on your new adventure. I'm in the midst of placing an order, but have a few details to work out.
ReplyDeleteI guess everyone's already given the answer Finn. Another of your beautiful art work. Magnificent page. Hugs from Scotland. Rita xxx
ReplyDeleteLove the lAYOUT WITH ALL THE METAL, FLOWERS, TEXTURE, AND UPCYCLED PART FROM ATG GUN.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much guys... And yes of course, it is a piece from e-z runner... :)
ReplyDeleteGreat use of that tape runner gear Ania! I love your layout!

Another super layout in your style. Love the feminine-grunge look ! It is so fun to use stuff from life on projects. Since I am scrapbooking the boys are worried I become a old lady one time surrounded by trash! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a lot of detail and the colour is divine.
ReplyDeleteHi Anna I love your stunning layout. So wonderfully creative and I had such fun at Glasgow. :-)
ReplyDeleteSee you soon at Wirksworth
