Winter Mantel 2018

I love creating seasonal mantels.

Winter gives me a chance to come up with natural, #rustic tones for my living room #mantel.

With this year’s winter mantel decor…

I used items such as a shipping crate panel, a woven placemat…

and I made these cute little berry branch trees.

And of course, I had to add outdoor elements such as the pine cones and cut wood!

I also added some winter wheat and berries to an old milking bucket along side an antique crock.

All those elements created lots of yummy texture that I love!!

Thanks for stopping by and hope everyone stays warm this winter…

it’s been a cold one!

Just Being Creative


Here’s a little update of what I’ve been doing…

Creating!

YEP!  I have been so inspired… so motivated… so excited to just… Create!

Let’s see…

I have been creating mixed media art (that includes rusting metal… so fun), thrifting (just had to throw that in), creating a journal,  and sewing

sewing

YES… sewing! 

Rather… trying to learn how to sew!

****I’m also in the process of creating my spring mantel and working on a very creative project with a very sentimental birdhouse (this one may take awhile… if I can even do it!)****

And as this creative force hit me @ a week ago or so… the Lord led me to share this journey with my creative friend Kolein

She is now my creative sounding board accountability partner… and I hope I’m a good one for her!

AND then

and then, and then…

the Lord led us to this…

Jeanne Oliver e-courses!

WOW!

These classes have so enriched both of our lives…and we’ve only just started!  We so needed these… didn’t we Kol??

OK….

Last time I shared with you my first e-vuh mixed media art project

WELLLLLLLLL…

I went back and changed the coloring on it…brightened it up a bit…

This time…I think I will let it sit on the easel for awhile just to make sure I’m done.

Now… onto journaling

Art Journal

Here’s a journal I made… an art and writing journal…

Mixed Media Art Journal

it was so much fun to create my own.

(I accidentally glued the back inside cover… upside down! Oops!)

As I ventured into learning how to use a sewing machine… I decided to see what it would do with paper… and that is when I began to sew pages together and watch tons of videos on bookbinding… tons out there online… so if you want to try it… just google it… it’s pretty simple… just takes time.

Art Journaling

Can’t wait to start writing and cutting and pasting!!

SO… as Spring approaches…

Hope this inspires you to get out those paint brushes, get out that glue and paper,  get out that needle and thread, get out that hammer and those power tools

and

 Just Create!!

Trying Mixed Media Art


Hi everyone!

Can you believe that spring is less than a month away?

WOW!

I am already working on my spring mantel… but still enjoying my winter mantel.

My only hint to it are flowers… creative flowers.

NOW…

let’s talk art…

mixed media art.

As some of you know, I use to paint and sell folk, whimsical type paintings…
