Karolina Bukowska created a gorgeous piece of art using an embroidery hoop! We love how she got such an amazing look just using Finnabair Mixed-Media!
Tip - coat your Mechanicals/page, etc. with a coat of Black Gesso before starting. This makes the perfect base to add your pastes to. A spritz or 3 of water on your pastes before they dry help the paste's colors to merge/blend. Dab up excess water.
"For this small collage/assemblage, I have used a few of my favorite new Finnabair products - the Patina Paste set and Art Alchemy Waxes. When I saw them first, I got so inspired and started working straight away. The colors are just gorgeous and I love the gritty feel of the Patina paste. The waxes are so creamy and easy to work with, giving a perfect coverage of the support. Pure bliss to work with them!" ~ Sanda Reynolds
"Valentine’s Day is on its way, so maybe start preparations early and make a couple of cards? I used the new Finnabair Sparks and Waxes in these tiny, ATC-sized cards. With those, I mixed some of the great, older products like White gesso (a must for every mixed media person), and also some shiny Art Alchemy paints. The hearts are done using a stamp and air-drying clay, and, as you can see from the video, the metallic shine on them is created mainly with the Waxes! The texture in the cards is done with cheese cloth as well as the new Finnabair beads." ~ Rikka Kovasin
