Fairy of Spring mixed media project by Lori Woods

Hello creative friends! It's coming to the end of winter and colour is starting to peep out in the garden. It's still a muted quiet colour but promises to bloom brightly in the summer. For now, the Fairy of Spring tends to her sleepy flowers and nurtures them to beauty!

 


I started by creating some texture on the background using stencils and pastes then applied Mint Impasto to start building the colour.

 


I created a focal point using moulds and mechanical elements and continued with the impasto paint. I then added splashes of colour using Liquid acrylics- these are so concentrated that you only need a little drop to create a lovely rich colour. 

 





When everything was dry, I used the Mint Impasto again to dry brush over the surface and create a more muted look to the colours. I then took the new Sea Glass and Celestial waxes to add highlights and areas of interest over the elements. A little glitter and my Spring fairy was finished!

Butterfly Effect canvas by Kasia Salmanowicz

Hello,

Today I have the great pleasure of sharing with you my new project using products from the new winter 2024 release by Finnabair. You will find beautiful stencil designs and wonderful wax colours in it, but you probably already know that.

To create this project I used Butterfly Effect 7 Dots Studio and Finnabair papers. I also used clay elements and Finn moulds, metal accessories and a few decors made of HDF material.





I used two new stencil designs - Manor House and Calculations in combination with texture Paper Paste. I glued the whole project with Heavy Body Gel and secured the individual elements with White Gesso and Clear Gesso.






After drying thoroughly, I painted the whole project with my favourite product from the Liquid Acrylic Paint series in the color Burnt Sienna. Then it was time for the most important point - new waxes, the colours of which perfectly matched the colours of the Butterfly Effect papers. Honey, Coral, Red Flame, Celestial and Black Gold. They work together perfectly and have a great effect. I invite you to watch my video tutorial on our YouTube channel.


Hugs,

Kasia Salmanowicz
