Hellgnome's Death Digis Great Space Adventure Art Journal

Hello all

I have a new mixed media art journal layout to share with you. I have gone for a space theme so three guess which Sci Fi movie this is a nod too.

The background is painted black first and then i blended in blue tones. Then i added a bit of magenta to the edges to make it look a bit more like space. I then added SprinkleIt to the center of the pages, this stuff is great as it adds a crunchy texture and it shimmers. I finished off the background by flicking white paint over the top so it looks like stars.

The images have been coloured in with marker pens.

Artful days Steampunk Canvas Goddess Of Time

Hi all

I have a new mixed media canvas to share  today using items available at  Artful Days
http://www.artfuldays.co.uk/

I started off by painting the base with black gesso and then sticking down all the embellishments and then painting it again with black gesso.

The focal point was made by gluing a resin face to the metal frame and then sticking that to a mdf spoon.

once the first layer was done i then painted the main pieces with white gesso and then spritzed the centre of the canvas with copper and scarlet sprays before spraying violet over the rest of the canvas.

I added the micro beads and glass chips using gel medium

i painted the word with the rust paste so it would stand out.

Time Mixed Media Canvas With Brusho Crystal Powders

Hello all

I am going to teach you how to create this mixed media canvas using Brusho Crystal Powders.

Start off by applying gesso to the blank canvas and then gather a thick blob of modeling paste on the end of a pallet knife. Apply the blobs of modeling paste to the canvas spreading it thickly in the desired place.

Sprinkle glass glitter and various art stones over the modeling paste and pat down carefully with a palette knife. allow the modeling paste to set a bit before sprinkling  Turquoise and Purple over the background. Apply water over the powders and use a brush to control the flow of colour.

Paint a wooden frame with gesso and then gold Aztec Eco Metallic Luster. The wings and face and made by squashing paper clay into a silicone mold. It takes about a day for them to set but the clay is firm enough to pop out of the mold so you can make a batch up. Paint everything in gold and allow to dry.

Glue the wings and face onto the frame and then glue a second pair of wings to the side of the frame. Add clusters of flowers and metal charms across the canvas and add a title to finish

Never Dull Your Sparkle Art Journal With Brushos

Hi  all

I have a fabulous art journal page to share using a variety of products available from Colourcraft. 

Start off by applying white soft form paste using a stencil mask, Apply this down the centre of the page and a little over the sides.

Spritz with water and sprinkle over with Turquoise and use a paint brush to guide the colour over the page leaving a section in the middle of the page. Let the first colour dry and then apply Purple Brusho in the centre of the page, using a brush to blend the colours.

Stamp around the page with texture stamps and then apply black soft form paste in the edges of the page. 

 Cut out a heart from Lutradur and paint with white gesso. Use a heat gun to distress the Lutradur, This product melts when heat is applied and there are a lot of different effects to achieve depending on how much heat you use.

 Allow this to dry and then Cut it in half and sew it down the middle with white thread. 

Sprinkle Purple Brusho over the top. Use water to dilute the colour and then use a paper towel to remove excess ink.

Dye some white thread with Purple Brusho Powder and glue to the centre of the page so that it frames the heart 

Use a lable maker to add text to the page. You could also print the words off using a computer and ink them to match the colours.

Colourcraft Winter Wonderland Altered Birdhouse With Expand It

Hi all 

I am back up on the blog today with a very snowy altered birdhouse.

Glue the birdhouse together and then paint with gesso or cheap white acrylic paint. Unless you want  to stamp onto the surface it is easier to glue the item together and then paint it. It you paint the parts before gluing it together then the parts might not snap together correctly.

Mix white gesso with Turquoise Brusho Crystal Powder and paint over the birdhouse. Next use a crackle paint  over the top to get the cracks. I then used Pear Aztec Eco Metallic Luster as the final layer to give it an icy shimmer.

Take a palette knife and spread Expand it over the top generously . I then sprinkled on some glass glitter but anything fine and sparkly will work too. I then heated it with the heat gun and watched the snow form.

I then painted more Pearl Eco Metallic luster over the top.

The icicles are created by using a hot glue gun and squeezing the glue onto a non stick surface. It can then be peeled off and glued to the edge of the roof.

How To Create An Amazing Art Journal Page Using Brusho Powders

Hi all

I have an art journal tutorial on the blog today. I am going to teach you how to create this amazing journal using Brusho Crystal Powders.

Start off by taking a blank journal page and stamping around the corners of the page with a selection of texture stamps. Use archival ink to stop it washing away when you add your wet mediums later.

Next add a little water to a palette and add your Brusho Powders.

Apply clear Soft Form Relief Paste to the edge of the page using a stencil. once it has set you can  start painting over the Brusho ink. I  mixed Turquoise, Blue and purple.

Take some white thread and dye it using the Brusho Powder and then glue it to the page. Next take the flower stamps and stamp them out onto white card. Colour in the flowers with Brusho Powder and cut them out

Place the flowers onto the page and adhere using 3D foam to add dimension.
