Create Time Clock

Hello All!

So this Tim Holtz Clock has been sitting in the finish some day box in my studio... Yes I know its sad lol!! But sometimes after I start a project I just hit a road block.... and boy this baby took a huge detour.

So when the Prima Design Team call came around I decided to give it a Finnabair inspired Makeover!

Products Used: Prima Finnabair Art Alchemy Opal Magic Paint & Opal Magic Wax. Prima Heavy Black Gesso. Prima Flowers, Art Stones, Finnabair Trinkets and bits and bobbles from my desk.

I am LOVING Finn's Wax it makes everything just POP!

Plus everything is better with a bit of flowers!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

I hope that I have inspired you in someway!

L is for my Love of Art!

Hello Everyone!
Today I wanted to take a moment ad share a project that I created using lots of fun Prima Products but totally inspired by May's Challenge over at the Words& Paintery Challenge Blog.
They are currently having a Design Team call and I would love it if they would consider my submission in their search.... Wish me luck :)
First lets take a look at May's Mood Board:

Now Lets look at my Altered Project..
I found this L at Michael's when I I picked up my Rust Paste so I figured why not....

Products Used: Prima Pattern Paper, Color Bloom, Heavy Gesso, Gel Medium, Art Stones, Textured Paste, Rust Paste Set, Crackle Paint, IOD Mould, Wax and Metal Trinkets. Misc. Buttons and bits. And TONS of Finniabair Inspiration and direction! 

I started by decoupaging a bit of pattern paper to my L. Next I layered lots of trinkets to build my clusters.

I added a bit of crackle paste for a bit of added texture...

Next I covered all the "Gel Clumps" and "Blank Areas" with  Art Stones.

Finally it was time for color!

To bring everything togther I added a light coat of Gesso.

To finish off my project I added a touch of Finnabair's Wax....

I really love the way the clusters turned out.

Thank you so Much for stopping by!

 I hope I have inspired you in some way :)

Daddy's Gargoyle

Hello Everyone!
Today I wanted to share a layout I created the other night. I was going through pictures and I  decided that  I just had to scrap this one....
 Why on earth would I scrap this picture?? 
Well let me explain, this is a picture of my dad's gargoyle. Strange right??... Yes I totally agree but it's one of the few things that I have that was his and it totally reminds me of him.
I took  this picture on his birthday last year. It really was a hard day but this strange (and a bit scary) looking guy made me feel a bit better.
Anyhow I had a lot of fun making this layout and I had hoped to share the video with you... but there was a bit of technical issues and sadly it was deleted....

Products Used: 7 Dots Studio Fortune Teller Patter Paper and Stickers. Prima/Finnabair- Paint,  Art Stones Glass Beads, Flowers and Metal Trinkets and other embellishments. Misc. Chipboard, Twine, Buttons.

A few details just because...

Hello All!

Last month I attended a couple classes with the Finnabair, which left me super hyped up on collage projects! So today I am sharing a little mixed media canvas that I have been working on this month. I had so much fun working on this, heck I even made a video documenting my process..... 

But sadly my laptop was infected and I was unable to recover the video... Sorry maybe  next time.

Anyhow here is my latest canvas....

Products Used:  Prima -Relics and Artifacts, Art Stones, Glass Glitter, Ingvild Bolme Resin Embellishments,  Finnabair Mechanicals, Art Alchemy Acrylic Paint ,Finnabair - Art Alchemy Metallique Wax.  7 Dot Studio Sticker.  Creative Embellishments Chipboard.  Lindys Stamp Gang Magical Shakers.  Primary Elements. Glitter & Wire.

A few close ups just for fun..

After painting my flame with Art Alchemy Acrylic Paint I added just a touch of glitter for just a bit more of a sparkle.

My last step was to add just a touch of Finnabair's  

Art Alchemy Metallique Wax. As you can see it makes all the little details pop.

Thank you for stopping by today!

I hope that I have inspired you to create something today!
