Street Art


Street Art


Hi There!

Hope your week went well
and here is Hazel Harler to
set the tone for the weekend

Lots to take in with this canvas
to grab a cuppa, sit back and.......


" I used the lovely Paperartsy/Tracy Scott Gothic Blooms
 on my canvas


I used a brayer to lightly colour my 10" x 8" canvas board
 with Fresco Finish paints


The canvas was stencelled with modelling paste 
and Crafters Workshop stencils


 I again coloured the background with Fresco Finish paints, 
 sprayed water on and let it run down the canvas


then stamped and stencilled some acrylic paint.



The Seth Apter images were stamped onto tissue paper


 The flowers were stamped onto pink patterned paper and cut out



 I cut out the Seth Apter images and glued them to the canvas.



More colour was added with Gelatos


 I glued the flowers to the canvas with matte medium, 
I also covered the whole of the canvas with matte medium.


This is the finished canvas. 



By painting a layer of matte medium over the canvas 
I could add colour and shading with my indian ink markers. 
The matte medium allows the ink to be spread with the fingers,
 it also makes it easier to remove ink with baby wipes.

Here is a close up



 I think this technique might work with other permanent markers 

- I'll have to experiment."



Thank you Hazel - 
a really beautiful canvas


There's a lot of work here
but if taken step by step
 well worth doing
in colours to match your decor

I love a piece of artwork that
stands out in a room - it brings
a whole new ambience

Yes, I'll leave it there..........

'Til tomorrow

Pumpkin Scarecrow & Halloween

Halloween


Hallo everyone!

Hope you've got your pumpkins already
and don't forget the candles

Another spooky project today from

Hazel Harler

who has been busy creating something
specially for us so over to you Hazel:


"I decided to do a journal page for my Halloween piece



 I stencilled the wall with modeling paste onto a 6" x 8" piece of mixed media card 
and then gave it a coat of gesso.


I painted the wall with watered down acrylic paint and spritzed it with water, 
drying the wall between each colour,
 there is also a little brimstone wings Color Bloom on there.


I fastened some chain to the wall with brads and put some jump rings on the end, 
I painted some quinacridone gold paint to make it look like the metal has rusted.


 I stamped the Carabelle Studio images onto white card, 
coloured them with pencils and cut them out. 

The glass dome was stamped onto acetate and cut out, 
I've no idea who made the skeleton stamps, they are from my stash

The knife was drawn by hand.


 I glued all the stamped images to the page and 
used an Impression Obsession stamp with distress ink for the table, 

The mad doctor was stamped with a Stampers Anonymous stamp and coloured with pencil. 

I cut him out so that he could hold the knife.

 I added some gauze, die cut spiders, a Tando pumpkin, some graffiti 
on the walls and acrylic paint blood.

Items used



Super project Hazel and how nice to
see it as a journalling piece

Thank you very much

Now this has got to be a must do page 
in my journal (that I haven't touched in
a while).. I am so going to enjoy this one.....

See you tomorrow

Triplets - Dawn Heald



Happy Weekend,

It's Saturday again and I hope you have 
a nice weekend planned!
Not sure what we are expecting weatherwise
but I'm sure its bound to involve
some of the wet stuff!

This is our last post of the week and
today Dawn is here to show you 
what she has been doing....


Dawn says.....
Hello how's everyone doing? For our topic
 this week I decided to make a set of
 ATC's (Artist Trading Cards) as it's been
 ages since I last made any. I also had
 a play with some of the new Liquid Pearls in stock.




To make a background, squeeze some 
Liquid Pearls onto a craft mat and use a 
brayer to apply to white card. Repeat for
 each colour in turn, building up layers.
Finish with a light layer of white gesso 
applied with a brayer.


Cut black card into three pieces measuring
 3.5" × 2.5"


When background is dry cut off a section
 to be used for the ATC's.

Add some stencilling and Stamping
 to build up flat layers.

Cut into three pieces slightly smaller
 than the black pieces of card and glue
 each to the black card.

Stamp, colour and cut out three owls.
Attach owls with foam pads.

Print or stamp twit twoo and stick under  owls.
Add some white paint dots around cards.



The liquid pearls does make
 a great paint and the sheen on it is lovely.
 The white paint layer brings it together well. 
Hope you like!

 Yes we do like Dawn, thank you!
What do you think?
I'd never thought of using Liquid Pearls
like that.


Products Dawn used -
White Card

So that is another week gone,
I'll be back with the Weekly Challenge
tomorrow! 
Now, what shall we have this time?

Triplets - Neil Walker




Good Morning everyone,

Welcome to a busy week here on the blog.
We are at the last week of January 
already.  Goodness how time flies!

So what have we got for you this 
week, well, we thought the
DT were in need of a bit of repetition, 
three times in fact so we gave 
them the word Triplets!
And the details were.....
A design cut into 3 or a series of 3 designs.

Well, this is what Neil has made,
a fantastic project with so much
work in it....


For my Triple I selected 3 door plates from Andy 
Skinner's and glued them together along with
 cutting some chipboard strips to raise up 
the top and bottom sections


When dry I painted them as seen with DecoArt Fluid
 Acrylic in four colours.

When they were dry I covered everything with
 a layer of Titan Buff.

I scrubbed back areas to reveal the colours,
 covered everything with Antiquing Cream and
 wiped back to give layers of faded distress.

Using one of my masks and Gold Interference
 paint I added a little subtle patterned shimmer
 detail. Then everything was sealed
with spray sealer.


I created a base board from thick A4 chipboard,
 burlap and crackle paste.

When dry I coloured with paint.

Further detail was added with Seth Apter stamps,
 embossing ink and Frantage powder.

Then the fun began. I added my door plates
 to the board and rummaged through my
 embellishment drawers to add metal accents.

I love these old style keys and ornate
 metal lock plate.

Thank you Neil, I absolutely love this.....what do you think,
we'd love to hear your comments!

 This is what Neil used -

 Tando Creative - Andy Skinner -
Industrial Elements Kit
Burlap Mat Stack
DecoArt Faux Finishing Medium
Mixed Media Acrylic - Gold Interference
