I would love to know what you combined with stamping and how it worked for you. For many years I have been intrigued by Mixed Media but never took a leap of faith to give it a try.
Do you know what mixed media is? According to Wikipedia: In visual art, mixed media describes artwork in which more than one medium or material has been employed. Assemblages, collages, and sculpture are three common examples of art using different media. Materials used to create mixed media art include, but are not limited to, cloth, paper, wood and found objects.
I was first introduced to mixed media at a Stampin' Up! convention, years ago. We had the opportunity to sign up for an extra class where we created a mixed media canvas using catalog supplies and paint. It was completely amazing and blew my mind. And that experience stuck with me ever since.
But I never did anything about it.
Until this week! I ordered a visual journal and some acrylic paints and decided it was time to give mixed media a try.
I have so many left over products from former catalogs and thought it was time to stop faffing about and see art I can create. My journal will be a place to play, explore, trial and mess about. Anything that bombs is immediately forgiven. I see my journal as a safe place to experiment before moving over to a canvas.
Do you do mixed media? If you do and you post your projects on Instagram or Pinterest, please leave me a comment below with a link. I would love to get some inspiration from you in return!
