Hello to all!!!
Today I have a super informative post on MIXED MEDIA.
This is one area where many are scared to tread . The reason being, this art is so vast and filled with varied techniques that one cannot pinpoint that this exactly the perfect mixed media technique. In fact--it is more like to each his own.
During the Crafty Feast held in Delhi, I learnt varied mixed media techniques from none other than world class Mixed Media expert Anna Dabrowska aka. Finnabair. it was indeed a pleasure to see her mix paints , waxes, pastes and what not.
So what exactly is mixed media!!!!! A very simple way to explain is this----An art that involves the bringing together various mediums of many materials be it fabric, paper, leather, metal, glass , plastic etc. and combining them together in an aesthetic and artistic way with gels and pastes and highlighting them with various types of paints.
Does this sound complicated!!!
So let me simplify it further with my projects.
I have three easy mixed media backgrounds that can be made in just 30 minutes YES!!!!! its that easy and then using them to suit your creativity.
There is a video showing you the whole process so all you have to do us sit back and relax and watch the magic of mixed media being unfolded.
Here are my projects
The first project is very simple wood grain textured background. It just requires one stencil, modelling paste and chalk paints. This background gives a vast scope to create many projects .
I have a keventer's bottle here that has been attached to the background panel with burlap and used as a holder for floral display.
The second project has a background in soft hues and has lot of embellishment combined together. This makes a beautiful decor piece and quite fun one to do it. I have used tissue napkins to create this background.
So how did you like my backgrounds that look elaborate but are so easy to make. You can create such backgrounds for scarpbook covers, cards, wall decor and even art journal.
