Mixed Media Canvas

I started with one idea for this little panel but it ended being totally different from what I thought. I wanted to use this plaster circle I did a while ago, so suddenly I placed it over the background which was too small (5"X7"), so I finally I mounted it on a 20"X20" canvas. Many stencils, tea bags, only three colors, (medium gray, light gray and yellow, all matte finish paints) and wire. The piece with circles was made with a technique I just discovered and will be showe

This is the third of my series of videos creating easy to more complex backgrounds. In the next video I will create more complex backgrounds with various techniques. I didn't cover fluid media as watercolor, India inks, acrylic inks, etc. because I'll be demonstrating them during the processes. #simple #background #tutorial #video #color #design #ink #painting #blog #paper #mixedmedia #howto #handmade #paint

Stencilfied Journal Prompt #7

As you can see I have missed a few prompts but I'm doing my best to continue on the challenge. This week's prompt was a "real" challenge so I kept it super simple trying not to add too many images to the ripped page to stay as true as possible to the original. #stencilfiedjournal, #stencilgirl #stencilgirl #prompt #challenge #painting #ink #doodling #blog #paper #color #collage #design #mixedmedia #DIY #stencil #paint

Please visit the channels listed in the description box and if you want, like, share and subscribe.

Live Life in Full Color Journal Spread

Live Life in Full Color Journal Spread

I'm participating in a video hop called #thanksforwatchingart and this time the idea was using a technique from an artist who made a video on a previous event. This specific spread is not on the video which will be live on March 23rd but the techniques and theme are the same, it's al about living surrounded by color. I used Gelli prints, used tea bags, old book papers for the background. Images by Tim Holtz and Nancy Baumiller #blog #paper #paint #journal #spread #design #col

Mixed Media Heart

Mixed Media Heart

I was given a 3D fiberglass heart and asked to do "something" with it for an auction with many well known Chilean artists. I really freaked out and didn't know what to do with it. After a few days thinking, I decided to do something in Finn's style. It was one of the firsts to be sold and I felt such a relief! It took almost a month to make it because of the drying times and because some days I just couldn't figure out what else to add. I covered it completely in textured pap

This is my last post for Jessica Sporn Designs. I want to thank all the team for being so supportive and generous and especially to Jessica for choosing me. This time I created a journal cover out of an old book. I started by covering everything with black gesso. Then I chose this beautiful whimsical tree stencil- Judy's Trees Stencil as my focal image Covering completely with black gesso too I rolled magazine paper in different lengths to embellish the cover and applied blac

Mixed Media Paper Quilt

Mixed Media Paper Quilt

I wanted to create a quilt with my own patterned paper, so I stenciled over previous painted papers and cut 1.5 and 2 inch squares to start making the design. To make it easier for me, I traced a diagonal on the card stock and then I glued one square on each side of that line and from then, I started gluing one on each side of those until I completed the page. I invite you to watch the process on a VIDEO I created. My plan was to make a card with the small panel and leave the

Collage Papers with Citrasolv and Stencils

There are many tutorials on the web about National Geographic magazines and Citrasolv where I learned this technique but, I've never seen how it works with stencils so I had to try. I hope you get inspired to do it, you can get beautiful and unexpected results. Citrasolv is a cleaner and degreaser, which will remove the ink creating wonderful backgrounds that you can use for your collages. For this technique I used various stencils by Jessica Sporn. - Medallions - Hearts, Fl

Catalog Mini Journal Tutorial

Catalog Mini Journal Tutorial

Hi everyone! I'm here with another project for Jessica Sporn Designs. Today I will show you on a video how I did a "mini journal" out of a catalog and watercolor paper. For the cover I also used a catalog scoring 1/2" on it's spine to insert the journal. I like the dimensions, each page is like a large tag. For the cover I used Jessica's Medallions Stencil over a Gelli print. Now I will create on the first two pages. Collage Sheets by Mary Jane Chadbourne and Nancy Baumiller
