A bit of everything by Lori Woods

 Hello creative friends! There are so many fantastic pieces in the new release moulds that I couldn’t decide which to use for this project, so I used a bit of everything!



I started with one of the new Old Pages stencils and used Jewel effect paste to get a beautiful rich colour of detail. I created my composition and painted everything in black gesso. I wanted a real wow factor with the paint colours so I knew I had to use the opal magic paints which always looks amazing in black backgrounds.







I added different areas of paint over the mould pieces and gave them a good spritz with water to really bring the opal effect out. The colour change with these paints is just stunning. I finished everything off with touches of white pearl wax to bring out areas of detail and give a lovely shimmery finish to the project.

A free spirit by Szafranowe Twory

How much I love that Finnabair products are so versatile!

Look how perfectly they work in an art journal - the Unicorn paste adds such a delicate shimmer, I just love this effect! 

And the Snowflake paste looks amazing on a black background.





I’m absolutely thrilled with what these pastes can do on paper - how about you?

Beetle Box mixed media project by Lori Woods

Hello creative friends! Hvae you had a chance to try out the new Finnabair moulds yet? I’m loving coming up with new designs and new colour palettes for them!

The large beetle mould is definitely one of my favourites and I’ve been using it a lot! For this project I wanted to work in jewel colour so chose waxes and paints to match.


I started with an MDF box which I covered with tissue paper decorated with stencil detailing. Onto this base I layered up lots of new mould and use metallique paints and waxes to give a rich colour and shine. The beetle mould I painted in a contrasting colour to show off its details against the base.


I finished off the project with Golden Dragon paste to create lots of sparkle!
