September Moodboard ''Journey'' by Irina Tsigir

Hello all you lovely Mixed Media & Art’s friends! 
Irina Tsigir here and I’m so excited to be with you as Mixed Media & Art DT member. Such a stunning moodboard inspired me to create a box that looks like an aged book. 

Привет всем прекрасным друзьям Mixed Media & Art!
Меня зовут Ирина Чигирь и я рада быть с вами как член замечательной команды Mixed Media & Art. Потрясающая доска вдохновила меня на создания коробочки в виде состаренной книжки. 


This box can be used as a repository for memories from a journey, because our September inspiration board is about them.

Эту коробочку можно использовать как хранилище для воспоминаний из поездки. На мой взгляд, ведь именно о них наша сентябрьская доска вдохновения.

Trust in yourself | Anna Wiśniewska

Hello everyone!
It's Anna Wiśniewska with you today,
presentingt my project inspired by our
Autumn September Moodboard.
It's a vintage, nostalgic card.


Here is the Moodboard "Journey".
So calm and nostalgic, isn't it?


And some details of my card:



'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.

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.
