Whatever you are by Katja Joulak

 Hello everyone!

Today I want to show you my new art journal. I just love  to create  new covers on books and journals. This Art Daily Art Journal with chipboard cover is perfect to create layers with paint and texture on.

I also want to encourage you to look at you own projects. They can give you so much inspiration.  I got inspiration from one of my older journals.

Gorgeous tissue paper for the background and over that, some paperclay that is painted with impasto paint, liquid acrylic paint and also for highlight  metallic wax, Emerald and White Pearl.

Then layers of chipboard and metallic embellishments  to make my cover complete.

I have a video for you. Enjoy!

Thank you and take care! Katja

Photo frame without a photo by Kasia Salmanowicz

Hello everyone,

Once again, more color appeared in my project. New products from Finnabair motivate me to discover new solutions. The autumn edition paints and waxes have wonderful shades that you must try out.

This time I decided to decorate a photo frame, which supposed to be a decoration in itself. Something perfect for a gift or simply a home or studio decoration. Here I used a lot of elements from Finnabair and Prima moulds, plus some metal accessories and natural elements such as dry sticks. The whole elements are glued on rice paper.

After drying and coloring with liquid acrylic paints, I also used metallic waxes. Both those from autumn news, but also favorite colors, as shades of brown, gold and silver. They are very versatile and give amazing visual effects. I wouldn't be myself if I didn't splash the whole project a bit, I used white and black gesso in combination with water. I invite you to watch the entire creative process in my video tutorial.

Hugs,

Kasia Salmanowicz
