Creative Artiste #69 March 2021

 I should be happy it's nearly the weekend and I get a break from homeschooling, but ours is a sad house at the moment as we come to terms with a family member's sudden passing and we prepare the funeral. Stay safe everyone, this virus can effect anyone, of any age. 

Welcome to a new challenge at

Creative Artiste

Creative Artiste is a monthly challenge blog for everyone who likes to mix their media. So, as long as you like to use various mediums on your creations, we'd love to see you enter the challenge.

A big Thank You to everyone who entered the challenge last month. Your projects were all wonderful and our winners have been announced on the blog.

Our theme is always
"Anything Mixed Media Goes"
and we have opportunities to be a Guest Designer for our winners.

I have created a sea themed CD to inspire you.

I started by gessoing an old CD and adding texture paste through a circle stencil. Once dried I gessoed it again. 

I then used DecoArt Fluid Acrylics Prussian Blue Hue and Cobalt Turquoise Hue. I flushed the colours with plenty of water then left the disc to dry. It creates a fabulous texture with the gesso bubbling up.

I used paper clay and Katy Sue moulds to make the shells, seahorses, fish and leaves.

Once I'd stuck everything down I added Prima Artstones in the gaps.

I painted the individual pieces with DecoArt Fluid Acrylics using Quinacridone Gold, Green Gold, Diarylide Yellow and Titan Buff and sprayed with water. I also added more of the blue colours.

To finish I painted the small shells with Golden Fluid Acrylic Iridescent Pearl (Fine) for a bit of shine and darkened the edges of the disc.

Now it's your turn to have fun and create your mixed media projects. You can enter our challenge up to three times. A full list of the rules is on the challenge blog.
