This is a mixed-media altered book project. I'm taking you to my unique and imaginative world of old books, papers, paints, textures, and dreamy colours.

As it is a retired class we've made sure it is refreshed and tweaked, with extra content added, so you will surely enjoy it, even if you took it in the past in person!

“Imagine” class is based on a mixed-media collage canvas project: I'm taking you to my unique and imaginative world of layers, textures and dreamy colours.

Book Altering - Endless Possibilities

Hi again my dears!
Not long ago I was sharing the happy news about my brand new ONLINE CLASS - "Book of Possibilities". 
It was a very happy and very important moment for me - you can name it my next milestone in my career as a mixed-media teacher! Last year I was thinking creating online class in the shape and size I was thinking of will be simply impossible for me - but then my friends stepped up and all the impossible turned into possible!
You can read more about the class here - check it out  and learn more details!

Today I'd like to show you some shots of the book covers which are done during the online class - yes, you will get detailed instruction how to create altered book covers in 2 ways - not bad, huh?

This cover was created using Art Extravagance Crackle Texture Paste, Art Basics Black Gesso and Heavy Body Gel, Art Alchemy Waxes and more! I absolutely love the effect...

Don't you just love the colours and textures on this book? I was so inspired by natural colours of the vintage book cover I was trying to find the closest possible colours of Art Alchemy Metallique Paints to match it!

I didn't use so many elements to decorate it  - but the rich colours, pretty textures and lovely stencil details are doing the trick here! And can you see  these cool crackle effects? Or the beauty of the original title of the book, revealed by Art Alchemy Metallique Paints and Waxes?
It is rich, detailed, it is beautifully shiny and it really catches the eye - I hope you like it too!

You can have a look at what happened inside of the book in a separate post here - I'm sharing some of these techniques during the online class, some of the pages were done once the book was finished, just for my own pleasure! Enjoy!

If you'd like to take the class - don't wait and register now, the course is already open and running! You will find all the details and information you need here, in the link below!

I can't wait to see your beautiful creations - I hope to see you in the virtual classroom!
huge hugs

Book of Possibilities - a look inside of my Mood Book...

Hi again my dear ones!
2 weeks ago I was happily announcing my second online class, which I created with my friends from Everything Art - Kasia and Jamie. It is called "Book of Possibilities" and you can learn more about it and register here!

After the books which I've done during the class were finished on the outside and some starting pages were done, the process of collecting, repurposing, adding and simply - journaling has started!
All you can see below happened after the point, where the class has finished, they are not included into class instructions. The project just came to life, just like I intended!
As I mentioned in the class my ida was to create a Mood Book - you can compare it to a moodboard, but in a form of a handy book: something you can easily take with you everywhere, fill it with your favourite findings wherever you will go, whenever you will find the time. Somehow, this idea was really intriguing...

I had no doubt what would be the content of my Mood Book: I wanted to express my love for my vintage findings - old photos, pieces of lace, pins, paper clips, pieces of fabric. I finally could use those hand written notes, which I was sometimes discovering in the old notebooks, all these papers torn out of beautiful vintage books, all the beloved goodies I was hoarding for ages...

As you can see these pages are really simple, but they are complete to me, I'm happy with just. bit of colour, some short text, piece of tape or lace - no pressure, no overthinking.

On many of these  pages I decided to use Prima Adhesive Rub-ons to add the big and bold lettering accents. I was using both Prima foils and my Art Ingredients Mica Powders - both combinations worked great! Smaller sentiments are parts of my Cling Stamps Sets - love them!

If you'd like to create your own Book of Possibilities - alter the cover (in 2 ways!) and  get a bunch of ideas how  to start your own pages - you should really check my online class. You won't find the instruction how to make pages above there, but you will create a perfect, inspiring base which will push you into arms of creativity!

Here you can check some of the products which were use to create pages above - all linked to Mixed Media Place Store! 

As this is an ongoing projects sooner or later I will have more pages to share with you - stay tuned!

Book of Possibilities * Brand New Online Class!

My dear Friends...

Perhaps some of you have already seen the news that Everything Art and I shared yesterday but... let's go back to the past for a moment, shall we...? ;)

Releasing my first online class - Imagine Collage - I had my hands shaking, but heart full of hope.

It was a real milestone in my artistic life.

And oh my... the response we got - all the enthusiastic reviews, heartwarming messages and tons of beautiful artworks made by the students - it made me feel proud and humbled at the same time.

I don't want to miss another opportunity to thank you so much for your support, encouragement and all the beautiful words I heard from you. I can't express how much it means to me!

I'm so grateful my friends Kasia nad Jamie who came up with this beautiful cooperation - they helped me so much to make this dream of mine come true...

And now - get ready! - we are giving our second online class in your hands and it's called

Book of Possibilities!

It's sparkling new, never taught before, created especially for Everything Art and for you all out there! :)

In this class I'm trying to share with you all my love for collecting, creating and tranforming.

It is a unique mix that I hope you will really enjoy - inspirations, techniques, practical tips and a lot of creative freedom!

My plan was to invite you to my creative world, try to explain my ways of looking at things, help you discover their potential and give you tools to give these bits and pieces a chance to really shine...

Think of books, old paper, images, photos, scraps of paper and fabric - all these elements + art mediums are something that makes the Art Transformation possible. They are all waiting for you here!

You have to admit that vintage books have a special kind of magic feel and in this class we'll make them even more exeptional - we'll make them yours, playing with all kinds of inspiring mixed media techniques and creating your unique, very personal mood book.

I explain where to find and how to choose an old book to work in, how to prepare it, embellish the covers (two ways!) and I share many ideas what to create inside.

This class is something brand new and never seen before and also longer than my other mixed media collage Imagine class that perhaps some of you have already taken.

And as always and with each of my classes - my whole heart is there and I can't wait to share my passion for this type of book art with you!

If you're still hesitating, you need to know that my Book of Possibilites comes with very detailed instructions, I take you through every step and you can also chat with Everything Art Community (with me and other class members) if you need more guidance or any kind of help.

The class is downloadable from the Everything Art, so once you purchase, you can do watch it whenever you want, in the pace that suits you and as many times as you like!

Registration for my brand new Book of Possibilites online class is open so head right ahead to Everything Art shop!

If you're still hesitating (I hope not! ;), please read the detailed description and join me in the clasroom soon!

Let's get our fingers dirty and make some gorgeous book art together!

Hugs

Art Transformations Café

My Dear Friends...

I can't thank you enough for such a beautiful response to the Art Transformations project - my brand new venture in collaboration with Everything Art. In case you missed the news, I wrote about it {here}

I got so many amazing comments, messages, words of encouragement and excitement - once again you simply left me speechless, humbled and deeply moved...

Thank you so much for this heartwarming support, I hope our first online class - "Imagine" is going to meet your expectations and to be honest - I just can't wait to see the results and your beautiful art!

I'm sure we will all see many wonderful, creative projects - but what is most important to me, I believe for some of you this class might actaully be the spark that will start your own Art Transformation.

Whatever that means to you, wherever this road may take you, I'll be your biggest supporter and fan! Oh, I can't wait to see the magic begin already!!!

In the meantime, (and I'm waiting really impatiently! ;) ) together with Kasia and Jamie from Everything Art, we've prepared this informal, relaxed interview - or rather a friendly chat in a café in which I'm sharing quite a lot of my thoughts, ideas, memories and reflections.

If you'd like to know why transformations and creativity are so important to me, how long I've been creating art or... why a moth is my symbol and brand logo - this video is something you have to see! :)

Sit back, grab a cup and enjoy!!!

Lots of hugs,

Get Ready for Art Transformations!

My Dear Friends!
I can't believe this is actually happening and that I'm sharing this news with you... :)
For a long time I was almost sure it was impossible, something really beyond my reach... but now, with the help and encouragement I got from my friends, Kasia and Jamie from Everything Art, I can really see another one of my dreams becoming a reality!

My classes are going online!

Before I give you more details about my Art Transformations series, I'd like to invite you to watch this promo video so beautifully shot by Kasia & Jamie. Enjoy!


Art Transformations by Finnabair and Everything Art from Everything Art on Vimeo.


I can't tell you how many times I was emailed, messaged and asked in person about creating an online classroom which could be open for everybody: my students who are ready for more or the ones who would like to have the techniques refreshed, mixed-media oriented artists and crafters who always wanted to join my classes, but for whom it was not possible... and last but not least -

- for mixed- media beginners who are attracted to rich, dimensional projects which happen to be my signature style, who would like to see it all, step by step, and discover products, techniques and most of all, the joy of creating.

And all that from the comfort of your own home! :)

You will be able to take some of my retired classes (tweaked and refreshed!) that were both loved by my students and that are close to my own heart too. 

And there will be even more! The never before seen exclusive classes, interviews, chats, PDFs, a friendly community to share your art, extra features, and most of all - the possibility to get and keep in touch.

I'm so excited, proud and happy to see this project finally going live....

I hope it will open the door to creativity for many of you and I can't imagine a better chance to expand my classroom and invite you all in...

my first online mixed media collage class - 'Imagine'

A big dream come true...
Will I see you there? :)
