Recycled Blocks - Tiny Totems {Artists Live}


Hiya folks!! :) I'll be joining Artists Live again this upcoming Monday ( 10.31 ) for a sweet hour of some mixed media instruction LIVE :) you can ask me questions and I can answer in real time.. how cool is that? 

Plus you'll get to watch me create.. from start to finish.. all the little tips n tricks that I've developed of my own style! I'd definitely love to have you join me :) You can click here to access the ustream channel. I'll be live at 11 am on Monday. 

Want to see what I'm creating?? 



We'll be creating something similar to these babies! YAY! :) Gosh I love them SO MUCH! I've sort of been aching to work on these types of little pieces for a while.. using some of my handmade pieces, some of my collected vintage bits, and some of my favorite staple supplies to build up little.. shrines? maybe just mixed media blocks? little.. tiny totems? I love them! 


These are the three that I have done so far.. but I plan to make about a MILLION of them! We won't be creating these exact ones on the ustream - but coordinating pieces ^_^


So far I've used vintage buttons, DMC floss, Italian text, Tim holtz embellishments, vintage tape ruler, piano roll, muslin, rust, stitching, tape, pencil.. and more!


I've also gathered some other things to work on the upcoming set.. can't wait to show do them with you and show them off, too. ♥

Enchanted Objects | Mixed Media Moods wall hanging

Welcome to Our Mixed Media Moods!



It's a monthly collaboration between myself & Mixed Media Jenn where we pump up our youtube channels with high quality mixed media videos.


This month we have a guest joining us.. Aaron Blazevich of Imperfect Impulses. How cool is that?!


This month I made the mood board :



Of course it got a bit SPOOKY for the time of year.. I drew from the color the most.. the vintage rusty type vintage tones. I also drew from the tree / wood aspect and the moth insects. I worked up a mixed media wall hanging :)


EEEEEEEK I LOVE THIS PIECE SO MUCH!


Now it's really hard to grab a good photo of something long like this... So .. onto the video tutorial, then detail shots (which are REALLY good!) a supply list & a link up! We also invite you to link up and check out what other artists up to inspired by our challenge :) Videos welcome, too!
