ArtsyTrio YouTube Video Hop – Moodboard #7 Art Journal Page.

Today I’m taking part in our 7th ArtsyTrio YouTube Video hop with Gina Ahrens & Bea Grob. This month it’s my turn again to curate the moodboard for us all to take inspiration from and to create an art or craft project of our choosing.

Don’t forget, you’re also invited to join us and play along over in our ArtsyTrio Facebook group, click the link below.

This month I was just in the mood to create a mixed media mini 6″ canvas using up some of my cast resin pieces I have in my stash, cast from various silicone moulds. The colours in the moodboard are just perfect to create a textured patina styled mini canvas, perfect for wall hanging! Click below to watch my full start to finish creation of this mini canvas.

ArtsyTrio YouTube Video Hop – Moodboard #4

Once again I’m taking part in our fourth ArtsyTrio YouTube Video hop with Gina Ahrens & Bea Grob. This month it’s my turn once again to curate the moodboard for us all to take inspiration from and to create an art or craft project of your choosing.

I have chosen not to create a 2D art journal page for this challenge, but to go three dimensional with an altered 6″ paint brush and you can watch my full start to finish process over on my YouTube channel by clicking the link below. You can find clickable links to both Gina’s & Bea’s 4th Moodboard creations in the description area below the video on my YouTube channel.

Don’t forget you are invited to join us over in our Artsytrio Facebook group to participate and share what you’re inspired to create, whatever form it may be.

Machine Works – 6″x12″ Mixed Media Canvas

Today I’m in the mood to play with some resin pieces and create a 6″x12″ mixed media canvas. I’ve never used the resin cast pieces from the Prima “Insecta” mould from designer Finnabair before in a project, so I was interested to see how they would turn out! I was pleasantly suprised!

Finnabair inspired Altered Mixed Media Paintbrush Canvas

Having been inspired by Finnabair at al over on their YouTube channel. I thought I’d have a go at creating one of Finn’s signature altered paint brush creations, but obviously give it my own twist! Click below to watch how I created my version over on my YouTube channel.
