Creative Space

We all have that one place where we make messes, create art, or just sit in front of the computer in a zombie like daze, staring off into the world of Pintrest. Here is a look at my Creative/Zombie space. Note:I cleaned it just for the pictures and it has in a half a day returned to it's comforting messy self :D

Make sure to check the Tattered Angels Blog this month for more Creative Spaces.



Since I can't paint my walls I decorate with lots of color. Can you tell? lol



I love my desk. IKEA of course. I have a tempered piece of glass on top. I can use my heat gun with it and it will withstand the heat and I can use it as my paint palette and wipe it right off when I'm finished.

My shelf and riser are also form IKEA. I can store (Most) of my paints on my desk but still have the extra room on my desk.




I have to than Chez for this one. These are also from IKEA and they fit AC thickers perfectly!! And I love how I can see what is in each drawer.

And in the closet is where I store most of my tools and extra supplies.


Hope you enjoyed the tour of my crazy driven room :)

Mixed Media Canvas

Burlap Love All!!! Take a look over at Funky Junk Interiors for SNS fun!!

I have been in a canvas sort of mood lately. And this first one is featured on Canvas Corp. Today!!! I have been waiting days to show you all :)

Wind in my hair and the sun on my face.


I used a 10 x10 raw stretched canvas and turned it around to create a more dimensional effect. The background started with two Fabric appliqué butterflies, that I adhered to the canvas with Gel medium. I took the gel medium and sporadically painted in other places on the canvas. I then sprayed the background with Coffee Shop Glimmer Mist. The Gel Medium acted as a resist, not allowing the mist to fully absorb. Then I used Golden Liquid Acrylic paint to create the swirls and accents on the background....

The girls hair is layers of course Molding Paste by Golden and Liquid Acrylics. Her dress was made out of a burlap tag by Canvas Corp. The flowers were made from a Canvas piece and altered with Candy Apple Red Glimmer Mist. To make them I cut out a circle then cut a slit half way into the circle, then coned the circle slightly and secured the two cut ends overlapping together. The centers are Push pen by Canvas Corp. altered with paint. I took the loose canvas around the frame and painted it with Paprika Glimmer Glam and pulled and formed it back to cover the staples, holding the canvas in place.


This next canvas I made a few weeks ago. On this canvas I started with a gessoed canvas. The background it Glimmer Mist and Glimmer Glam heat set. The girl is painted with Liquid acrylics and her hair is Clear Tar Gel and Liquid Acrylics by Golden.(Raw Umber and Titan Buff) I added a little more dimension with stamps by Prima Donna Downey and Studio Calico. Her dress was made from an old dress pattern and scrap leather.


The hearts are textured felt that were dipped in Beeswax. I also used the beeswax around the frame to add more texture. Prima flowers altered with Glimmer Mist add the perfect pops of color to the page.


And the finishing touch is a resin Flower I made from my mold and painted it with Flirty Glimmer Glaze.


A small way I can express myself. :) Wishing you a creative day.

Scrappin' Away

Prima has their Monthly Product Picks for the month. I love all of the green! It reminds me of the first signs of Spring and of course St. Patty's Day :)


Here is my take on the color palette and highlighting some of the Picks.




And I also sent off my submissions for the final round of Graphic 45's Design Team Call.
I altered this book using Graphic 45 Le Cirque Paper Line. The front was painted with acrylic paint to give the appearance of a circus tent. Adding just a touch of dark brown paint took my gold and red tent to completely different level. I wish I had taken before and afters. Shading creates so much dimension.



I also used Le Cirque on this LO. I drew out the white title with a white Prismacolor pencil. I'm not a big fan of scrapbooking holiday themes, I know how lame. But i loved these pics of the kids from Halloween, and they fit perfectly with the paper.


I will fully admit, I am not a card maker lol. Here is my attempt. I added Glimmer Glaze to elements of the card to make them stand out.


I wish everyone in the last round the greatest of luck with their submissions and can't wait to see the new Design Team. Have a great week and create!

"Spring" Configuration Box

I am so over winter! I needed a little pick me up so I decided to decorate a Tim Holz Configurations box. I had flowers on the brain. I love planting annuals and seeing all of the color in the yard. So I filled every open space with a little Prima goodness :)



The box was altered with book pages and Beacon Fast Finish Decopage. I love that is a liquid instead of a paste. It goes on with less mess and dries quicker. Once it was all dry I inked it with Tim Holtz Distress inks.

The tree is made out of Polymer Clay. I baked it in the oven and then painted it with Golden liquid acrylic paints The leaves are made out of heavy matte Gel and paint and the grass is made with Coarse Pumice gel and paint. The Pumice gel has an awesome gritty texture to it. It's one of my favorite textured gels. I stole a tire off one of Quentin's toy cars. Believe me he will NOT miss it. The kid has enough cars to choke a horse. A little copper wire and it made the perfect swing. :) Living in the country we always had a tree swing. And many bruised bums from trying to do crazy tricks on them lol

My little frog prince needed a pond , and it reminded me of the water and river season. I used Gallery Glass to create the water. It's a glass paint you can find in any Michaels. It's used for fake stain glass. I painted the backgrounds of most of the boxes with Bienfang Watercolor pens. They are so easy and conviniant

I used Martha Stewart Micro beads to fill my little seed bottle.

I seldom do this but I love the smell of sheets that have been hung out to dry. It's a sign that spring and nice weather are here. I made the backdrop out of blue Micro beads and Liquid pearls. There is also a little Maya Road tree in the background.

Spring and summer also means I get to leave the door open and let the breeze and fresh air in. The screen door is my friend. I made the door out of Prima packaging and some fiber screen.

And there wouldn't be spring without all of the song birds out. I have a large feeder right in front of our window. Love to watch all of the finches and sparrows come and eat.

I added a Tim Holtz watch face to signify time and made the banner out of wood paper and colored them with watercolors. I adhered them with Beacon Fabri-Tac.


I made my little flower garden out of Maya Road pins and Prima Flowers. I bent the pin heads and glued the flowers on. The soil is Tim Holtz Distress Stickles.


Thank you for stopping by my blog and I hope this brightens your day as much as it has mine.

Hugs
