Bag Party!

Last week, Roben-Marie Smith was the guest artist at Wanderlust. She showed us how to make a folder from a paper carrier bag.  I love all the painty layers!

Here is my folder closed:

Now I just have to decide what to put in it!

Triptych

I was fortunate enough to be able to do a second 'Make & Take' at the Crafting Show, this time with 'That's Crafty'. This was a more complicated project and so I ended up finishing it at home.

This is the front:

Wooden Plaque

On Saturday I went to the 'Crafting at Ally Pally' show. PaperArtsy was there as usual, but this time I was fortunate enough to do one of their 'Make & Takes'. We decorated a wooden plaque using Fresco Paints, PaperArtsy stamps and adhesive rub-ons with foil, all in about 35 minutes! Here is the finished product.

Journal Page

Nathalie Kalbach  was the guest artist at Wanderlust recently. This is my journal page based on her lesson.

A Whimsical Face

As the previous two, this face was also created using  water-soluble oil pastels, a Stabilo All pencil and a water-brush.

Phone Art

Here are two very different pieces of art I created on my phone using filters and some of my photos. What do you think?

Faces

Here are two faces I drew sitting on the sofa whilst watching TV! I only used water-soluble oil pastels, a Stabilo All pencil and a water-brush.

This one I coloured the background first and then drew the face.

This one I drew the face first and then coloured the background, which created a very different appearance.

My House!

Week 35 at Wanderlust was loosely based around mosaics. I used some of Kasia's techniques to create these four houses.

I glued old papers onto gessoed backgrounds and then added various colours of Fresco Paints. Once dry I added the words (c/o T Baxter) and applied bees wax and mica chips. Lastly I added some inks.
