Altered Ukulele

Hello !

I told you few days ago that I was working on a new mixed media project... Here it is : an altered UKULELE ! It was a special request of my daughter... and it still is a musical instrument !

Altered Ukulele

I bought an Ukulele kit in France during my last vacations and built the frame recently.
Before adding anything to the frame, I used a Hero Arts stencil with heavy white gesso, then cover everything with light white gesso before painting it in blue (mixed with a little bit of white). Once dry, I brushed Ginger Magic paint.

I order the new Fragrant Roses by Prima especially for this project to create the rose with paper clay. I colored the flowers in rusty red, brushed with Ginger Magic paint, and the leaves in Green gold and Fairy Wings paints before gluing them to the frame.

You can see that I also used gold paint with the red before mounting the cords.

This was a fun project to create, and not complicated at all ! Don't hesitate to try it and ask me if you need some advises !

I wish you a great day, and see you soon !

First quarantine layout

Hello there !

I hope everyone is safe at home. My family and I did self-quarantine since the 13th. My husband is working from home, and I am now proposing sessions via Skype (for those who don't know yet, I am an hypnotist, and a psychologist but with a French diploma). My oldest daughter came back just in time from Canada on Saturday, and the youngest has school classes on line since Tuesday... Let says I didn't have time to be bored yet, and even did manage to create few things...

Here is the first layout I made during this quarantine, with a picture from our last cruise in 2018. I love this picture, we both look gorgeous, but the colors weren't easy to work with...

I must say that I am ready to stay home (like forever) with all the stash I hoarded over the years... And I did use a lot of old things in this layout... Prima flowers, Bo Bunny, Prima and 49and Market stamps, DCWV, Graphic 45 and 7 Dots Studio papers, distress inks...

I also used some leaves dies with black cardstock.

These Prima flowers are so old you can't even find them at Tuesday Morning...

I have another project on hands, it will take few more days to finish. It involves stencil, air dry clay and moulds... So come back soon to see the result !

Thank you for stopping by and take care !

White and gold altered mask

Hello eveyrone !

It's been a long time without posting ! I was pretty busy during the beginning of this new year, having my parents-in-law home, traveling to France for a month... I am now back with a new mixed media project, a kind that I love to make : mask !

While in France, I took the opportunity to buy two more paper mache masks to alter.
This time I used lace, metal embellishments, paper flowers, buttons...

Some of the embellishments are made with paper clay and moulds, like the Curio Trinkets, Vintage Art Decor Rustic flowers or Medallions. I also use the tiny clay or silicate pearls found in the the new tems you bought.

I painted the mask in white, and Gold Rush Metallic paint by Prima with a fan paint brush.

It is perfect for Mardi Gras, isn't it ?

I made a video tutorial to help you achieve this kind of look :

Happy New Year !

Happy New Year Y'all !

I wanted to create something different for my New Year card, something bright and colorful as this year should be, and that's what I did...

I used the Watercolor stack by DCWV and the Countdown stamps by Bo Bunny, as well as my Copic markers and a sticker from the Small Talk Occasions stickers book by Tim Holtz.

I wish you the best for this new journey, filled with love and health.
See you soon for another project !
