Bloom Girl Workshop Project #4

Meet Amania (means faith)

I picture her looking up to heaven seeking answers to help guide her though the rough time she is having. With a sudden peace sweeping over her.

Bloom Girl Workshop Sketch #4.  I just love looking at the beginning sketches and the final projects. If you want to learn how to create these beauties please check out Jamie Lynn Dougherty's workshops. (You can see the first bloom girl I created by clicking here)

Of course the mixed media flowers and embellishments would not be secure without the use of my Handy Dandy Helmar 450 Quick Dry! It's the only thing I trust to use on something like this.

Please leave me a comment below with your thoughts. Have a wonderful day!

Result of the Bloom Girls Online Workshop

I would like to introduce one of my new pieces of mixed media art. These are inspired by the Bloom Girl series from Jamie Lynn Dougherty (jaylynnscraps) who taught the class I have been taking online this month.

She teaches you basic human drawing skills and has through step by step videos to watch either live or if you cant make the live streaming class then you can watch the uploaded video.

This is my version of the class project in the next few days (one posted Saturday and one next Monday) I will be posting a couple more of these beauties. (To see the Second Bloom Girl click here)

Of course the mixed media flowers and embellishments would not be secure without the use of my Handy Dandy Helmar 450 Quick Dry! Liquid Scrap Dots worked great to angle the barrette away from the wooden board it's painted on.  It's the only thing I trust to use on something like this.

Meet Nadia...

Upcycling Wine Bottles Creating Centerpieces

Upcycling is all the rage these days for many reasons, it brings a whole new meaning to "One man's trash is another man's treasure." You can save money on supplies and decor. Help the landfill issues and reduce you carbon footprint. No matter what your reason to reduce, recycle or reuse if you are going to make something beautiful from junk then you need to have the proper adhesives. Check out these center pieces I created from wine bottles for a local fundraiser event.
