Mixed Media Butterfly

 

Resin Art

Hi friends if you have been crafting for a long time I guess you must have accumulated a lot of bits and bobs which you don't feel like binning but don't really like using either. Sharing an idea to use up those unwanted unused paraphernalia...a mixed media collage project!

Mixed Media

Altered an old brown plastic frame to make this project. Gave multiple coatings of gesso and white paint to myriad ghastly coloured beads and odd embellishments to make the white background .To make the butterfly  I  found I didn't have a lot of pretty pink  embellishments so had fun making new flowers using snippets of shrink plastic. 

Brought it all together with a sprinkling of pink flower sequins and a resin pour!

Hope you like this idea

Origami Penstand

 

Origami Penstand

Hi friends sharing another Origami Penstand with Graphic 45 papers. I love this penstand design as it is sturdy and functional and it also helps use up the much loved papers in my stash!

My daughter loves pearls and rhinestones so I painstakingly added them to all 6 sides of the hexagonal penstand. The roses were made using dies and foamiran.
