Magical Mixed Media Tree

Hello Friends!

It's time for my Creative Team's last entry of 2015! What a great year this has been! Filled with art and so many beautiful inspirations - today is no different...

Irina - inspired by the season - made this most creative mixed media tree. It's so easy to make - don't you think it would look great in your house? :)

Hello! Irina Honcharyk here with you!
Happy New Year and Merry Christmas, dear readers! I wish you a happy New Year! As my December project I created a stylized Christmas / New Year mixed media tree!

I think generally December is a very inspiring month! I feel so inspired by all the holiday time and its magic. And I hope you will too!
So how about making a special New Year tree. Here's mine:

I created a simple base out of wire and attached it to a small piece of wooden. I picked the decorations - they are all from Meсhanicals series.

I attached the ornaments using hot glue and brads.

The ornaments look very interesting fixed to the wire. I already loved the effect even without any additional embellishing.

But I decided to add something more and I did it in 3 different ways:
I painted some ornaments and the wire using White Gesso.

I decorated improvised toys using Soft Matte Gel and Glitter from Abloom set.

I decorated the bottle caps and the rose using all the fantastic Art Ingredients: Glass Beads, Micro Beads, Mica Flakes, Art Sugar and Glitter (see below for all the links). I used Soft Matte Gel as my glue.

Everything sparkles and shines just as it should during this special time of the year! :)

I did an imitation of snow on my Christmas tree and some of the decorations using Snowflake Paste. This paste is incredible! It gives a very interesting effect.

I have also added a little bit of sisal fibre and fixed all the elements.

My special mixed media Christmas tree is ready. It might be a bit unusual but I really like it.
Here are some details:

Thank you for attention. Enjoy your creativity! Hugs!
