Gelli Plate Flowers

I made these flowers using my Gelli Plate, acrylic paint, a flower template, book pages, and scissors.
I Love the way that they turned out. I will use them in mixed media projects.

Gelli Plate Fun!

I bought a Gelli Plate, and I Love, Love, Love it!!!!!
I played with it a bit last night, and made some Fun prints.
This morning I decided to Zentangle on my prints.
This is what I got!
I tore 3 of my monoprints to size for the background of my Zentangle.
My ink did smear a bit while I was drawing but not to bad.
Love the look of this Zentangle!

Buffalo Tooth Necklace

My husband and I went to Deadwood last week for a little Get away. We had a very nice time. We did a bit of shopping, I was looking for beads. I wanted to buy beads to mix in with my paper beads, so that I would have a unique and one of a kind necklace. I went into this one very small shop in Hill City. As I was browsing around I saw a Buffalo Tooth, and knew right away that would be perfect for my paper bead necklace. What a Cool find!
With those purchased beads, seed beads and my paper beads, this is the necklace that I came up with.
It is for sure one of a kind, and unique! I LOVE it, and I am going to enjoy wearing it this summer. :)

1890's Mixed Media Art Journal Page

For this Art Journal Page, I used water color paint for the background. Blue, brown, and green. I stenciled 2 green fleur de lis on the page with a green water color pencil. I fussy cut the image of the lady from an image that I got from  The Graphics Fairy    This is an image of 1890's Ladies Fashion. I colored the image a bit with blue , and terracotta colored pencil. I added a feather, and a sticker embellishment to her hat.

Mixed Media Art Journal Page

For this Art journal page, I used water color paints, acrylic paint, a Tim Holtz ticket, and a moth accent form K&Company. First I colored the background purple with water color paint. Then I made some Modeling Paste. I used Baking soda and gesso. I just put some gesso in a Dixie cup, then added baking soda and mixed the 2 together until I got the consistency that I wanted. I laid a stencil on my page and went over it with the mix. I lifted the stencil and got an Amazing design. Then I added a Tim Holtz ticket that says Adore. I used a green water color pencil to paint a swirl on the page. I put the moth on top of the swirl. In the upper right hand corner I added a green flower sticker, then put a heart sticker in the center of the flower.
I painted the modelling paste with Folkart metallic paint in the color Peridot. I just love the metallic paints. They add a bit of sparkle to my pages. I am going to for sure make modelling paste again on future pages I just Love it!
