Masterboard

Hello crafty people!

A little while back I joined a group on Facebook

that I'm totally enjoying.

The Mixed Media Emporium

with Nina Ribena and Kylie Coo

Each month they post a prompt, with videos,

 and then throughout the month they post other videos 

of projects they make.

The first prompt of the year was to make a collage masterboard.

This is the masterboard that I made for this prompt.

I wasn't crazy for it at first, but it's growing on me.

A masterboard is a piece of artwork that you make,

then use to make other projects.  Many people photocopy

them and use the prints for projects.  Then they still have the

original for future use. I don't plan on doing that,

I'll just cut up mine for projects and when it's done, it's done.

I also made these two masterboards using paints.

I like these much better than my collage one.

I will probably use these for backgrounds for cards 

at some time.

I did enjoy the process of making them and will 

make more in the future.

If you are interested at all in mixed media,

pop over and check out the group on facebook.

Even if you don't follow the prompts,

you may find something that inspires you.

Nina Ribena and Kylie Coo also can be found

on YouTube.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you will come again soon.

Until then,

Happy creating!

Mixed Media Art Class

Hi there!
I like to do all different kinds of crafts
and art projects. When I saw a class advertised
for a mixed media project, I decided I wanted to
take it.  My daughter, Kelsie, joined me for the class.
We both totally enjoyed it.

Here is a picture of me with Chaitali Dekhtawala, the instructor.
You can follow her on Instagram
My Creative Color Palette
If you are in the Buffalo, NY area, she does
classes and parties.  Check her out.
She was wonderful and went through the project
step by step.  We all had our choices, but she explained
how to use and layer the different elements.
It was interesting to see the difference in everyone's projects
when we were all given the same instruction.

This is my finished project.
I love how it turned out and I'm sure
I'll be doing more mixed media artwork.

Thanks for spending time with me today.
I hope you'll return again soon.
Until then,
try something new and different.
