Without realizing the summer will end and it will be a dream, I have altered this anchor with details of shells, seashells, seahorses and a message in a small bottle remembering that summer always comes back ... 

Worked with pigments, sandstone paste, that´s Crafty interence gold, art stones by Prima marketing, and details of my hiding place...

MIDNIGHT SUMMER DREAM

Hi creative ladies !!Here Milagros (Mila) from El Taller de Mila, I leave my inspiration for this month of June, for me it is a very special month, the beginning of the summer solstice is united to the day of my birth, therefore to my birthday, in Spain the festivals "verbenas" are celebrated in the magic night of San Juan with rites and ancestral traditions, one of the main ones consists in making bonfires to give more strength to the sun, it is on this night when all the beings and magic spirits come out. The shortest night of the year is full of rituals, spells and desires ... it's a very special night.

Even William Shakespheare was inspired to create his "Midnight Summer Dream".

I was inspired by the colors and "new beginning", the 21st is the summer solstice, a new beginning for the summer season and the 23rd night of San Juan is my birthday, for me it represents a new journey towards the new year that for me it begins, from there that I have altered this suitcase to maintain my dreams for the new stage of my life and throughout the year all my experiences.

Detail layer on layer...

For this altered suitcase I worked with collage of tissue paper and old book sheets, gesso layer, and with acrylic paint from my hiding place creating layer on layer with my marks, leaves with stencil and highlighted with uniball posca blanco.

I hope you encourage yourself to alter your own suitcase for a new beginning, thank you very much for stopping xoxo...

Once Upon a Springtime

Hi dears!! Milagros Asensio  here from El taller de Mila , today I share mi inspiration in the form of an altered  art , I love rescuing branches, stones etc to give them a new life, this time I saw many possibilities in a small trunk of a vine arm that my husband cut in our vineyard.

April Inspiration by Adrijana Knez

Hello Mixed Media Warriors fans and friends!

Adrijana here from Paper Beauty AK with my new DT inspiration for April. Unfortunately, we haven’t any challenge this month, but we see you in May with a new one. I can’t wait! Today, I’m also a GDT at MMA blog, so I created a special project for this occasion - an hourglass from light bulbs. I used two different paper collections: Stamperia “Alchemy” and AB Studio “Dreamland”. I hope you’ll like it and we’ll see you very soon! Have a nice day, Adrijana

Believe in something larger than yourself. . . . Get involved in the big ideas of your time.

You are the artist of your life By Milagros Asensio

Hi beautiful and creative girls ¡¡ Milagros is here from El Taller de Mila with my new inspiration for March. 

March is the womens month and for this inspiration I share an Art Journal page  with a great quote... "You are the artist of your life". 

For bakground I work with fluid acrylics, texture paste over stencil ,for more texture and add more interest a background stamp for finish splash with quinacridona magenta color. 

I work with clear gesso Liquitex, background stamp "Love" by Ranger, acrylic fluid by  liquitex and  Vallejo. Stabilo all black and stabilo all 8008.

  

The drawing of the girl is not mine this time is a magazine cut, I loved it and decided to work with it. The technique that I use to work with images of the magazine is after trimming and pasting on the background, I add gesso to it, I let it dry and then I work on the image adding color with watercolor and watercolor media. As you can see, I have worked with shades equal to the background using Prima Marketing watercolors. To add more dimension to the illustration I have reviewed the outer contours of the drawing with the pencil stabilo all black and the interiors with the stabilo all 8008, watering them.

I leave this technique because sometimes there are illustrations in magazines, newspapers that can be great to work on our art journals.

You are still in time to participate with our # 38 Moodboard dedicated to us women. Wishing to see your precious and creative works.
