'I Heard You Singing' by Lisa Griffith

Hello Mixed Media & Art friends!

Lisa here to share my project for September.

I loved the ancient feel of the mood board, and it sent ideas swirling in my head.

'I Heard You Singing'

 

I love vintage styled art, it melts my heart to work with time worn antique style elements.

I started with some old sheet music and added lots of Lindy's Stamp Gang

mists, stamping, an old baroque style frame and lots of flowers.

Here is the mood board for this month:

 Here are a few close ups:

I added some stenciling with a Prima stencil and some gloss gel, 

then I rubbed some Prima gold metallic paint to bring out the textures.

Hello,

It's Bea here again. 

I made a canvas for our September moodboard which has a true fall mood. 

I used the colors from the board and the puzzle elements to create my canvas.

September Moodboard "Life Journey" by Aleksandra Mihelič

Hi dear friends of  Mixed Media & Art blog!

I'm so so happy and excited to be here with you, for the first time as DT member. I'm very honoured to have been given this chance. I love this blog and I'm always inspired and pushed over my creative and imagination boundaries with their fabulous Moodboards. This month's Moodboard was no exception. From the first minute I saw it, I knew what I'll be making. I've had this idea about a Sundial - a sun clock in my mind for some time now, but without the final vision how to make it happen. With this moodboard it all became clear.

I've altered a Graphic 45 mixed media box and attached it to a big piece of puzzle, that my kids weren't playing with anymore. I also added few more smaller puzzles on my box, to give it more interest and texture. I created a Sundial on top with chipboards.

After I glued down the puzzle pieces on my box, I covered it with two coats of white gesso. After that I added some sand texture paste on some parts of the box. When dry, I dry-brushed it just lightly with a bit of a black gesso. Then I colored it with brown and gold sprays. On top I added a bit of a Finnabair Opal Magic color for more gold effect. 

The base big puzzle piece was colored only in gold with Finnabair gold sparke paint on top. 

After that I built the upper part with a sundial from chipboard pieces. I dry brushed it with white gesso on some parts, added some gold glass glitter and some white glitter and few splashes of white paint.

September Inspiration by Marie Johansson

Hi Crafty Souls!

Marie here today with my inspiration piece for the September Moodboard. I was inspiered by the books & the fantastic colors in this moodboard and decided to create a bookmark. For me fall is equal to reading - one of my favorite things is to sit on the front poach under a blanket, with a book and a good cup of coffee in my hands.

I tried to capture the mix of golden, bronze and browns when creating the bookmark. The black chalkstock bookmark from Canvas Corp was perfect as base. I added texture with a AB Studio stencil and modeling paste before blending different shades of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists.

The leaf turned out lovely! I cut it from a piece of cardboard using a stencil from AB Studio to get the shape. I painted it golden with Tattered Angels High Impact Paints in 3 cotes - if you look closely you can see that I used purple & gold. Layer 1 was gold, 2 purple and 3 gold again.

September Moodboard ''Journey'' by Mary Catt

Hello dears!

Mary Catt is with you today with my very first post as a member of this amazingly talented team. I'm so excited and I hope I'll give you some inspiration with my work! 

Olya's moodboards are my most favorites! Truly inspirational with amazing sketches, textures and colors...  When I saw September's board I wanted to create an altered project. Don't know why cause it's not my usual style but I knew I had to give it a try. So I altered a frame... hope you'll like it...

 I got my inspiration from the color palette, the textures and the elements. I tried to follow the sketch and I used the word Journey as my title too.
