CrafTangles blog hop - Mixed media

Hi everyone, today starts another blog hop at CrafTangles and we're showcasing anything mixed media. CrafTangles has lots of mixed media essentials available for instance effect pastes like patina and rust but I choose moss effect for my project, a tag.

First I cut out a tag shape using heavy cardboard and cover it with a coat of gesso.
Then I added the moss effect paste until I was pleased with how it looked.

I've added curly moss, branches, pine cones, leaves and berries and a cute paper squirrel.

On the tag chord I attached a little tag with a good luck sentiment stamped on it.

CrafTangles September blog hop - Waxes

Hi and welcome to my blogpost for the CrafTangles September blog hop.

Our theme is waxes and CrafTangles has recently released 9 art waxes.
It was my first time working with this medium and I had a lot of fun creating this tag.

Here a step by step photo tutorial.
First I cut out the cardboard tag and squares. I collected the embellishments; chipboards, buttons, keys.

I also added some metal elements and Craftangles art stones.

On the edges I added texture paste .

Next I made black gesso by mixing white gesso with black acrylic paint. I also added texture powder to this mix.

I painted the entire tag with the black gesso. What a transformation!

After drying I rubbed the waxes on it. It's an amazing sight how the tag changes after applying the waxes. I used Iridescent blue, pink and violet and copper penny waxes .

I hope I've given you some more inspiration on how you can use waxes.

Using patina effect paste to alter a mirrow

Hi friends, today I'm on the HNDMD blog with a mixed media project.
I used CrafTangles patina effect paste and copper wax to alter a wooden hand mirrow.
This was the mirrow how I bought it at the dollar store (I disassembled the mirrow itself).

and here is the mirrow after I painted it with patina effect paste.

On the HNDMD blog is a step-by-step photo tutorial available. Here's the link:

CrafTangles July Blog hop Altered art/mixed media

Hi and welcome to the Craftangles July Blog Hop.

The theme of this blog hop is altered art/mixed media and I altered a little vase (it's about 13 cm heigh). I started by giving the vase a few coates of CrafTangles white gesso.

After the gesso dries I glued on cheesecloth,  a chipboard round frame, resin flowers and metal flowers. You can add heavy materials using matt gel. I also added little stones. Craftangles has art stones available but I don't have them yet, so I used decoration stones and decoration sand. I covered all these bits with a coat of gesso.

Then the fun part started, adding the colors.

I sprayed inks and water on the vase. I only used two colors: trendy teal and bamboo brown.

After the inks dried I added white gesso on some parts to give it more dimension.

I hope I have inspired you with this project. It was my first time altering this kind of item and with just a few supplies and a bit of courage you can create an awesome piece.
