Tinting Resin with Shona

Hello 13@rts Fans!! Today I have a something a little bit different for me. I have recently began to create with Art Resin and I have found that 13 Arts mediums are amazing to tint the Resin with. You need your base to be acrylics or powders so these products are just perfect! I even prime my boards first with 13 Arts gesso.

My first piece can be used as a wall hanging or a lazy susan. I love the ocean look of this piece…and yes all those colors are from the 13 Arts lines. I used black gesso on this one, and lots of blues, greens black and white Inks and Shiny Powders to color my resin. I with you could see how shiny these mica filled powders really are...amazing!!!

Close up of the cool waves.

I am also creating a line of serving trays or cheese boards for an upcoming market. I think they are so gorgeous and a fun way to serve at partys. They really looks amazing all dolled up with cheese, crackers, meats and what ever you like!

This is an art that I am just starting to touch on, but I know I will be going big (wall pieces) in the near future, and I also know that 13 Arts products are going to be my go to colors to create with!

That is it for me today… Take care and happy scrapping!!

Autumn bouquet by Marta Dębicka

Witajcie!

Zanim zabiorę się za kartki świąteczne chcę nacieszyć się w pełni jesienią, więc zrobiłam kartki z jesiennym bukietem. Dzięki elementom do wycinania z papierów "Rose Field" stał się bardzo przestrzenny. Listki z tych papierów wyglądają prawie jak żywe :)

Hello!

Before I will start making Christmas cards I want to enjoy Autumn fully, so I made a card with an autumn bouquet. It's very dimensional thanks to many cut out elements from "Rose Field" collection. The leaves from these papers look almost like real ones :)

Tworzenie roślinnych kompozycji jest teraz łatwiejsze, bo w sklepie pojawiło się mnóstwo nowych wzorów pięknych kwiatów :)

Making floral arrangements on your projects is much easier now, because in the store you can find tons of new beautiful flowers :)

Art Journal pages by Olga Limonya

Witajcie!

Na koniec weekendu chcemy Wam pokazać piękny wpis journalowy, który przygotowała nasza Gościnna Projektantka Olga Limonya!

Hello!

At the end of the weekend we would like to show you some beautiful art journal pages by our Guest Designer Olga Limonya!

>>> <<<

Hello friends! I will inspire you today)) When I saw the moodboard, I immediately remembered the time when I went to college as a fashion designer! Magazines Burda, patterns, models, spools of thread, scissors and other trifles ... Pleasant memories! And decided to make a page in the Art Journal. Before starting work, I covered the sheet with clear Gesso.

At the base I have a sheet with models that I used as rubbing with PVA glue. Then I applied modeling paste through a stencil, paints and then stamps. When the background was ready, I began to build a composition with the help of cutting, cut out elements, flowers and corset figures.

I covered the figure of the corset with black Gesso, it turned out to be a perfect black color! Spray just did with it!

In the end I used only a couple of toppings and waxes.

I hope I inspired you!

When You Find Your Thing

Hello my 13Arts friends. Fiona here with you today sharing a wall hanging I have created using my new collection "Conversations on Trains".

This idea came to me when I saw my designs come to life. They arrived on my door step and when I opened them up I had the inspiration to showcase all my favourite elements on a wall hanging design.

I sewed bits of left over fabric together making lots of different sized squares and rectangles to use as my substrates (platform/base) for each favourite element.

Then I went ahead and added my collection bit by bit onto each piece until I had filled every fabric scrap.

I added some colour to some of them where needed using the 13Arts watercolour paints. They are such good quality that they adhere to the fabric perfectly.

I also smeared some gesso around some of the pieces to help them blend and balance into each other.

I added lots of collected bits and pieces too like old spoons, nuts and washers, beads, lace and old doilies. All these elements fitted perfectly with the old world charm of the papers.

I featured some hand stitching also on some of the patches and some machine stitching in red to highlight certain areas. I love how contrasting the red stitching looks.

I am so happy with how this piece turned out. Now all I have to do is work out how to hang it as a whole piece on the wall.

I don't want to detract from the features by adding any further elements so I think I might just press them gently between two pieces of perspex to make a see through frame.

I'll let you know how it goes.

On one of the pieces I have added a special message to myself and the viewer. "When you find your thing and it just works for you your world explodes in a good way"

This is a reminder to me to stick to my thing .... I love making fabric art combined with paper, it works for me and so I do believe I've found my "thing".
