WOYWW #128

Hello there everyone. Welcome aboard!  Once again its time to link up to Julia's Stamping Ground for a hop around the globe.

I took this picture of my desk while I was in the middle of making a 20x20 mixed media canvas. Do you remember the ones I mentioned in this post from May? Well, I finally got a chance to play with them!

I originally intended to create a card using corrugated cardboard for Artful Times Challenge Blog but having two blank canvases encouraged me to get messy and try mixed media.
It features a picture of my mum and I (3 years) on a train to Cairo.

What do you guys think? For a very first try, I think I'm quite happy with how it turned out!
As you can probably see, I love to try my hands at all sorts of different crafts. Fimo, cardmaking, scrapbooking, you name it, I'll try it!

What about you? Do you have a favorite craft or do you just go along with your inner artist like I do?
Don't forget to leave me a comment so I can visit you back!



Hugs,

  3. It is gorgeous Roudi, you'd never think it was your first go, love all the textures and layers and the cardboard. By 20x20 I assume you mean centimetres not inches? Scrapbooking is my number one and mainstay so I can keep all the photos sorted/recorded. I only make cards when required and am recently into art journaling too. Not too keen on getting messy though! Thanks for visiting me this week BJ#85

  4. That's absolutely beautiful Roudi, so much detail. Hope you get your acceptance letter for college and I hope you're going to study something to do with art! I love making cards, but I also knit too, the knitting is relatively new and I'm still on smallish projects to learn techniques. I'd love to make a sweater but don't want to get in too deep too quickly! Happy to see your wonderful talent over at Sparkles too!

  6. Love the canvas, I do like the cardboard idea I keep forgetting about that - well done on the canvas, I seem to have lost the confidence to work on canvas at the moment.

  12. That is beautiful Roudi. The colours are perfect for a 'memory page'. I love your work and the fact you will try anything.I am always seeing new techniques on blogs and I love to give them all a try. Some I just do once and move on, while others I'll return to over and over. I just need more play time! Kate x#56
