Here is a double spread in my new large journal. This time a collage/Mixed media page

New art journal

2016-09-14T10:13:00.001+02:00

Last Saturday I found this amazing book at a lokal fleemarket. It's a book with lots of woman magazines from 1946.

This is a kind of book I have been looking for for ages, for my art journaling.

First page finished yesterday

I gessoed the page first because of the thin pages. The lady on the page is from the original page and here I used clear gesso.

Filled the page with some acrylic paint and Gelato.

Also used some of my newest stamps from Everything Art. Love the color wheels!

Hope you liked my post. This post was made from my cellphone, so I'm not sure how the post look.
Totally forgot to edit my photos as well :)

Hugs
Marianne

Redesigned bottle

2016-08-01T22:26:00.000+02:00

Hi there, long time now.

I've been busy doing nothing, aka summer holiday.
Had some fabolous weeks off work, travelling both to Mallorca and here in Norway.

My latest project is a redesigned bottle from Ikea. (the content was some juice, but that's all gone)

First I covered the bottle with a coat of black Gesso.
Next I used Finnabair's awesome Art Alchemy acrylic metallic paint.

After all was dry I used some molding paste and a stencil.

Next covered part of the bottle with old buttons, laces , findings, metal pieces , flowers etc.

Covered the whole thing with black gesso and so came the fun part, going wild with the metallic paint again.

Really loved the result! (my hubby wondered if I had been seeing Pirates of the Carribean again, because it looked like some of the old treasures in the films LOL)

Hope you liked my bottle and got some inspiration to do the same!

Here is an art journal inspired by the class by Magda Polakow as a part of the year-going class at Everything Art.
Made by bits of scrapbook papers, acrylic paint, gelatos and of course, my childish drawings.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Cherish the moments - DT 2Crafty Chipboard

2016-06-28T21:48:00.000+02:00

Hi again,

Today I'm showing the last of my projects for 2Crafty Chipboard.
The photo this time is from our trip to London last year.
While walking around in the streets of London I noticed this beautiful "scene" so I had to take some photos. Loved the look of the old bicycle and the flowers, together with the brick wall.

And I tried to create the scene I saw with lots of chippies by 2Crafty Chipboard.

So with this post it's my farewell to the amazing 2Crafty Chipboard team and the gorgeous chippies.
I will for sure make more layouts with those chippies , but not as a design team member.

Wishing the new team all the best, you'll have a fabolous time!!

Until next time,
hugs from
Marianne

It's been a fabulous year and I have loved every second of it!

Amazing chipboard and so easy to use! My favorites are the titles and the background panels.

Thank you Vanessa for having faith in me and your generosity. Love you!

And thanks to my fellow team-members, it's been an awesome ride!
Wish you all the best!

Sorry for my absence here in my blog.

Hi there!

I'm back with another layout featuring 2Crafty Chipboard.

The photo is from Madame Tussauds in London.

I used some of the red Gemstones by Art Anthology on this one, really match for the red velvet curtain on the photo behind the Queen

And I used some Gold India Ink on some of the chippies.

Art Journal

New page in my journal

Background made inspired by one of the classes at Wanderlust

Doodling and text came on the page while sitting on a train on my way to a crop. (the text is in fact inspired by the song Sound of silence by Art & Garfunkel, but performed by the group Disturbed. Had it on my ear while travelling)

Art Journal

2016-04-12T18:32:00.001+02:00

Been doing a lot of art journal lately and from today and the next days
I will show you some of them.

This one I used transfer technique on the photo (found in a magazine) and went wild with writing.

Canvas

2016-04-01T21:21:00.000+02:00

My recent canvas, size 40x40cm

I got an idea after seeing a program on television about a Norwegian Painter.
Not that he had done something like mine, it was just something I saw in one of his paintings that I wanted to stretch a bit and make it mine.
So here is bright colors and lines.

I was really happy when it was finished, the painting made me really happy, love the bright colors and the contrasts by the acrylic paint .

Hey you! DT 2Crafty Chipboard and guest Detective CSI

"Hey you"

Here is a layout made for 2Crafty Chipboard and CSI Case file no195

So fun to play with the case!

The photo this time is again from London and from one of many shoppingdays

This time I have used mostly ink pad to color my chippies, in the colors requested in the case file 195

I chose to cut the Film Strip in one part and layer on top of the photo

Part of the "testimony", "write as a dialogue"

And you see part of the beautiful Handdrawn Feathers on top

Lots of layers under the photo

The Word Bubbles were perfect for my page

Love how the Handdrawn Feathers look together with the flowers

Hi there,

It's been a while since my last blogpost, been really busy making lots of art journals and canvases.

Here is an art journal inspired by the ongoing class I am attending at Everything Art.

Topic for this was: "what I see in the mirror"

"Favorite"

Here is my second layout featuring 2Crafty Chipboard this month.

Everyone who know me knows how obsessed I am regarding Johnny Depp.

I really believe he's one of the best actors out there (and it doesn't hurt that he's so goodlooking LOL )

So enjoy my layout with lots of Johnny Depp

Here I used the Fiddlestick panel on several places. Love cutting these panels!

I cut out the circles chippies and placed letters inside them

The barbed wire matched my page as a bit rough and tough

And of course I needed to show my love for Johnny Depp with the "elegant heart" on top of the photos

The background is made with Gesso, mist, watercolors and stamps

All the chippies has a layer with gesso and a bit purple mist here and there

Did some simple drawing on the page as well, hearts, circles and lines

2Crafty Chipboards used:

Elegant Hearts

Fiddlestick panel

Favorite title

Barbed wire

Wishing you all a gorgeous day!

"Magical Memories"

Hi all 2Crafty Chipboard fans!

Thanks for stopping by the blog to check out my February inspiration.

Another photo of our oldest daughter in London, this time riding London Eye (her sister is the photographer)

The trip and the ride on London Eye was for sure a magic moment for the two girls and I knew I had the perfect title for the layout.

Once again I have layered some of the chippies, here the Circle lace panel and Mini Branches

The background is made with light molding paste and different stamps and colors

The title is almost neutral, just a bit gesso random places

One of my favorite chippies is the square collage panel and here I have cut it in several pieces and used both on top and bottom of the photo.

Made a little "frame" of the above panel , glued some notepaper inside.

2Crafty chippies used:

Circle lace panel

Magical Moments title

Mini Branches

Square collage panel

Until next time

Giftbag - Creative Gym Challenge DT Mixed Media Place

2016-02-19T16:30:00.002+01:00

Awesome fun challenge this month at Mixed Media Place!
It's all about Coffee!!

I love coffee and drink a lot of it.
Well, I'm a bit old fashioned and drink only the "old" type, black coffee without any form of suger, milk or flavours.

Here is a giftbag I made for a friend who just turned 40.

My coffee here are the tags outside of the bag, they are soaked with instant coffee. In fact they were having a good long bath in coffee.

Metal, stencil, mica powder, Ecoline watercolor and chippies are used to decorate the bag.

The chippies are from 2Crafty Chipboard

Hope you got some inspiration and I would love to see some "coffee-products"!

And check out the fabolous projects from the team here

You know that the only one you can depend on is yourself? At least if you want some changes in you life. So just let go – only you can do it!

Here is a new art journal spread made for Mixed Media Place.

I have made a double spread in my new art journal and I have used some of my new Art Basics Gloss Gel mixed with some mica through the dots and stripes stencil.

It’s not so easy to see on the photos, but it really makes a great dimension on the page with the gloss gel!

My background is this time made with Distress Stains in different “bluish” colors.

And also some Distress paint and Ecoline watercolor – in the circles.

The color combo really makes me happy!

Check out my blogpost here:
And of course you can find most of the products I have used in Mixed Media Place Shop
Lots of new products from Finnabair from CHA is expected in the store this week, so be sure to check it out!
