Another Mixed Media Painting from Iceland


Hello again. Sigga Dís from Iceland here, and this is my second Guest Designer project for Rubber Dance. If you didn't see my first post, you can find it here.


This time I made a different painting. Using soft colours and a little collage wings.


I started using two blue/turquoise and one pink paint on a 300 gr. cold pressed watercolour paper from Daler Rowney.


Then I did some stamping, and I love these stamps from Rubber Dance.



Some details, don't you just love these stamps?


I left a little blank space where I drew a face, I love to draw faces.


A bit of white colour here and there.


Black outlining with paint.

Coloured her hair and dress.

Changed the colour of her dress:

After using my brayer adding some white colour here and there I wanted to add wings to my girl.

Had a little problem deciding where to add the wings.
Used a black Posca pen around her eyes, nose and mouth.

Before I feel like finished I had to add a little text to my girl. 

It says.. 

Your wings already exist, all you have to do is fly...

Love this text...

Supplies I used:
Rubber Dance Stamps
Daler Rowney 300 gr. cold pressed watercolour paper
Golden fluid acrylic paint
Martha Steward paint
Brayer
Posca pen
Collage butterfly wings I found on the internet
Some brushes
Pencil
Golden gel medium for the wings

This is really beautiful, Sigga. I love how the process looks, from the quite dark stamped images until the finished painting where they are muted down in such a beautiful way. Love your woman drawing! Nice touch with the wings and the text you added ... A good reminder to us all :-)
Thank you so much for being willing to Guest Design for me & Rubber Dance! I appreciate it very much and it has been such a joy to see your artwork. I hope your appearance here has given you many new fans and followers on your social media.

Altered Chipboard Butterfly + Giveaway

Image
Message in Norwegian : Hvis du foretrekker å lese dette innlegget på norsk, kan du gjøre det og samtidig bli med på giveawayen på den andre bloggen vår ved å klikke her. Hello everyone! Bibi here today with a fun project, using the Totem Monarch Poppet chipboard from EyeConnect Crafts . I had such a blast with this and I hope what I've made will inspire you to make something similar. The difference between the chipboards from EyeConnect Crafts and others ones I've seen out there, is that they are made to connect (hence the name). There are two categories, one called Lace-Ups which you bind together using ribbons, string, lace, etcetera and another category of chipboards with smaller holes so you can connect the pieces using tiny eyelets or brads. This is what it looks like. The pieces are laser cut, and you easily remove them from the base - save that part and use it as a stencil for another project. Notice there is also a chipboard of the butterfly's...

CASology Week #202: Masculine (card by Bibi)

Image
Hello everyone! Bibi here today to show you a card I've made for the challenge at CASology, where the theme this week is to make a masculine card. "Heeeelp!", was my first reaction when I saw what their theme was, as I think it's really difficult to make cards for men! In addition, it must of course be CAS (= Clean And Simple), so I really had to step outside of my comfort zone....., but that's the point of a good challenge, isn't it? :-) Anyway, it was a post by  DT Kristiina  (on our Scandinavian blog ) that came to my rescue! If you haven't seen her post , you really should! The text is in Swedish, but there are lots of awesome project photos that speak for themselves. Kristiina had used stamped letters as the only "images" on her cards and I was very impressed by what she made, so I took out my Alphabet Uno stamps  (same as Kristiina had used), and what do you know - they spoke to me right away! Thank you, Kristiina! :-D And here...
