Art Foamies Mixed Media Album

January 19, 2018

 

Art Foamies Mixed Media Album KSallee

Good Morning Creatives! Keri Sallee here and I am so excited to be sharing this Art Foamies Mixed Media Album project! I had so much fun when we did the Ann Butler, Lisa Marie Jimenez and Rita Barakat collaboration I did this extra project!

Chances like this, where you are given so many BEAUTIFUL supplies to use at one time, is a perfect opportunity to use things in new ways and (hopefully! LOL) make a little mixed media magic.

 

To make things easier, I made you a little Snapguide!

Check out How to Make a Mixed Media Album: Rita Barakat Art Foamies by Keri Sallee .

Ready for some close-ups?

Allowing my heat gun to sit a little longer on my Ann Butler Crafter’s Ink / Shimmery Goodness Mixture makes it bubble up, adding some fun textures.

I chose to make my center a grouping of gears and watch parts to mimic the gear shape in Rita’s Art Foamies Fairy Wing. I painted my wooden gears and watch parts with my Ann Butler Crafter’s Ink and Colorique Paints. The Colorique paints worked AMAZINGLY on my molded plastic watch parts for my center.

YAY for YUMMY layers!!!! You can see here that when I was using my Colorique paints on my Gel Press Monoprinting plate, I chose not to gesso my wooden album. It leaves these great distressed lines on my background. You can also see how something as simple as crinkling my paper petals adds A LOT of texture and gives the illusion of much more layers than there really is.

Here is a look at the finished project again:

I hope you enjoyed today’s project and you will check out Ann’s Crafter’s Ink, Lisa’s Colorique and Rita’s Art Foamies!!

In my work I hope you will find encouragement, a little whimsy, something pretty or at least something to make you think. I do believe we need to be thankful and focus on the positive! I am passionate about art and believe that we are all creative in our own ways.
