'Lucky 13' - tiny canvas with video

Hello dear friends!
Today I'm hosting the Finnabair blog with a small project,
my third tiny canvas, with a video tutorial.

They say that 13 is an unlucky number. But what if we could define our own luck, stop being superstitious (I never was or will be, that's for sure) and decide to take chances even from things we never believed we could and even more at the end number 13 would be a lucky number? 
Well, today's project is not about number 13, it's about being optimistic, take risks and create our own luck!


I was really in a pleasant mood when I was creating this project and I think this mood shows up in the final result. I wanted to use bright colors that make me happy and what would fit better than the beautiful combinations of blue, pink, yellow and green of the Alchemy Acrylic Paints?

I painted everything with all these beautiful colors, even the metallic embellishments like this cute Mechanical Butterfly and the frond part of an old hand-watch I  had in my stash.


Before I glue down the watch I filled it with different Art Ingredients like the Art Stones and Mini Art Stones (I so love these stuff!) and Bronze Micro Beads. Then I used 3D Gloss Gel to glue it on the canvas and make sure it won't go anywhere!

I used my Silicon Brush to apply different texture pastes and create an interesting textured background...

To make it even more cute I used Jump Rings to hang some trinkets like this cute tassel, Roman Numbers (which actually is number 10 and number 3:), a gear and the title I made from a 7Dots Studio sticker.



Here is my video with all the process. I hope you will enjoy it and get some ideas on how to create your own lucky piece of art.

Tiny roof tiles *video

Hello :)
My new tutorial for ColourArte is here:


I altered these cute tiny roof tiles in order to give them as a gift appreciation to my daughter's teachers. They already have them and both loved them :)

The ColourArte products I used to paint them are:

Primary Elements

All Purpose Clear Glaze Medium 4oz Bottle


I mixed the Primary Elements with the Glaze Medium and made custom waterproof paints.
You can see all the process in my video, I hope you will enjoy it!
