Spooky Night - Reverse Canvas Scene

Hello Crafty Friends, 

Sharing my project for the "Poisoned Apple Exhibit", an amazingly thrilling fun hop.

My project on a reverse canvas is all about the Spooky Night on Halloween's Eve. 

I have created two scenes for this project. One scene shows the spooky Night with the full moon, while the other shows the inside of a witch's house with the large pot n spooky haunted things like skulls n bones, the book of spells and the poison bottle!

For the project I have used Glitzy Magicals "Scintillating Silver", "Snazzy Sparkle" and Magical "Steampunk Sepia" "Steel Shimmer" "California Poppy Gold"@Lindysgang

Texture paste "Graphite" Art Alchemy Wax " Old Silver" @Finnabair_studio 

Metal embellishments @tim_Holtz

1. More Than Words 

The moodboard was really challenging as I love creating with flowers. Created a Halloween full moon night inspired by the quote, "Nothing beats a haunted moonlit night on all hallows eve." by Kim Elizabeth. Loved creating out of my comfort zone,  challenging myself .

Memories - Altered Book

Hello Crafty Friends, 

I adore altering books.... so sharing one more altered book project.

I have fond memories of sewing machine from my childhood. So I thought to carve the memories in a book with sewing machine on it.

This is also my Inspirational project for the virtual workshop with an Art Association of my town.

So here's my altered book project...hope you like it:)

For the rusty worn out shabby look used Mica Powder Rust from Finnabair_studio and Steampunk Sepia from Lindysgang. Have also used flowers and Scrapbook paper from Prima  along with Chipboard from Creativeembellishments.

Few close up photos and videos:

 

Entering this project for More Than Words Main Challenge September 2020 Books and Book Paper. 

Loved this challenge as I adore creating with book or book pages. Truly believe it's the unsung hero of  crafty stash! For the word inspiration used book in my quote, "Books mend the soul." Which I truly believe as books are one's best friend and so valuable!

Related books to sewing machine so used the word mend. 

As for the creative challenge used book pages for folding, distressing, tearing, and for creating a scene. Used book pages to enhance the focal image. Also, did some quilling with book page stripes to create embellishments to decorate.

Here's the link to the challenge,

Nature is the best healer. That's the message I want to convey with this project. Goodbye to all stress, worries and problems. The green truck with all nature's flora and fauna depicts a ride to healthy and happy life. Going away from sorrow, worries, the current problem the world is facing; saying "Goodbye" to all unhappiness and welcoming the peace which the nature holds.

I have used multiple shades of green. The green monochromatic shades depict color of life, hope, renewal, joy and freshness.

Love, Hope & Dreams - Mixed Media Altered Wooden House

Hello Everyone,

Sharing my project, an altered wooden house which I have created for "Finnabair June Art Receipe Challenge".

This is the first time I am submitting my artwork for this challenge, so very excited! This Art Receipe concept is so fascinating, that I was highly inspired and tempted to participate in it!

It was challenging but fun to stick to the given color palette. For this alteration from the products listed in the challenge, I used "Paper Texture Paste" and Metallique Paints - "Soft Satin", "Red Wine", and "Deep Waters". I also used some of the metal embellishments from Mechanical Metal - "Flowers", "Grungy Butterflies", "Mini Stars", "Pocket Watches", "Metal Patina Trinkets Stroked Leaves".

I truly, enjoyed the whole process from assembling the wooden pieces to make the house, building the roof with cardboard pieces, using the moon mould for the first time with resin, and most importantly adding my son's photo when he was 5 years old.

I have titled my Altered House project as: "Love, Hope & Dreams" - as I believe, home is always the starting place for Love, Hope and Dreams.

I truly relished every minute creating it, hope you like it too.
