Creativity For Random Arts

Hey Everyone

Here's a post for the Random Arts Blog which I haven't posted to for a while as I've had a few health issue which one included breaking my hip while taking my hubby to get his replaced - ironic I know LOL we were the talk of the hospital 

Any way I saw this quote 

I thought I'd lost my creativity I thought it had just gone and I could craft anymore with everything that has gone on with my depression and the hip and a few other things I just couldn't get into it

Then reading this quote made me realise how true it is

I knew I just had to start

So this is the first piece back it's simple but it was fun to do 

I thought it only fitting to use a paint palette seeing as that was what the quote was on

So I painted it with white gesso using a sponge to give it texture

 Then using the Lindys Magical Shakers I randomly used the three colours around the palette drying each colour as I went 

I love the way they blend into each other and can make extra colours

Here you can see I added the Little Birdie - Embossing Texture Paste - Aquatini and Frosty Fizz randomly with a palette knife

I love this paste the way the more you heat it the more it puffs

 This patch of Frosty Fizz I added some Alpine Ice Rose Magical's to it for some more colour then added the Silver Rhombus Spear Charm on top

 I added the Finnabair Old Silver Wax to the resin scissors, paintbrush and texta to make them pop

 I love the Patina Bee he's one of my favourite bits of metal in my collection

He adds that pop on the flower that was needed

I love flowers I think they soften things and add extra colour where it's needed

Wonder for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone 

I hope you have had a great start to the new year

Here's my first project for the Memory Maze Blog for this year

Also make sure you check out the rest of the blog or our 

Facebook page for all the latest updates and 

Design Team creations

I started with a canvas that I used in reverse I like to have some depth sometimes without having to build things up

I painted the canvas with black gesso

Then used the River Pebbles Stencil with modelling paste on the background 
Once the paste was dry I painted over that with the gesso as well

I painted Small Chicken Wire. Border 2 Flourish. metal embellishments and Art Pebbles with the black gesso 
I left the flowers, the arrow from Charms Creations and the brown Mermaid Beads as they were so there was so more contrast

With the Deer I used modelling paste with the Mini Flower Stencil 
Then I used Dark Chocolate Impasto mixed with a little White Impasto 
Once everything was dry I rubbed some Finnabair Rich Copper Wax over the raised areas

I used Lucky Emereald on the leaves and then Mystic Turquoise and the Lucky Emerald on the flowers and the 

Small Chicken Wire as well as some Vintage Gold which is what I used on all the metal embellishments

And around the edge of the canvas I rubbed a bit of each colour except the Fire Ruby

The Art Pebbles I used a mix of Fire Rube and Vintage Gold
