Black art journal page for Prima guest spot

Hello :)

I'm sharing my new page for my Denim Journal I created for Prima, 

based on new Finnabair Art Recipe.

Our NEW Finnabair Art Recipe for September includes a wonderful mixture of sparkling

Mica Powders + Black Gesso + Gold Crackle Texture Paste!

All of these products are absolutely amazing by themselves, but adding them together creates something even more special.

 I always enjoy working on black background - Black Gesso is my best friend! I used it to paint the whole page and added Gold Crackle Paste with the Honeycomb Stencil to add more texture. I used the Acrylic Paint-Opal Magic Blue-Gold to paint a few spots here and there with the Silicon Brush 1' and made splashes with Heavy White Gesso.

To embellish my page, I used a piece from the Vintage Center Mechanicals and some Mini Roman Numerals. I also created my own embellishment circles with a stamp from the Cling Stamps set - Tea on the Deck, velum paper and black embossing powder. 

As a center piece, I used a black feather which I painted with my favorite colors of Mica Powders. I sprayed some water on the feather and applied the powders with a paintbrush. As a final touch I spread Gold Leaf and Frosted Mica Flakes all over the cluster. I used the 3D Gloss Gel to attach them. When my page was dry, I added it into my Denim Journal.

Prima Products: Heavy Gesso: Black 961459, Heavy Gesso White 961442, 3D Gloss Gel 961381, Art Extravagance- Texture Paste - Gold Crackle 961558, Vintage Vanity - Denim Journal 963378, Mixed Media Silicone Brush 1" 963897, Mechanicals: Vintage Center 961077,Mini Roman Numerals 960230; Art Ingredients: Glitter Set - Ebony & Ivory 961602, Mica Flakes: Gold Leaf 961756, Frosted 961749; Mica Powders: Blue 962494, Deep Water 962845, Lipstick 962463, Pale Silver 962517, Tangerine 962784; Cling Stamps - Tea on the Deck 962043, Elementals - Stencil -Honeycomb 961268, Art Alchemy Acrylic Paint-Opal Magic Blue-Gold 963675

Hello dear friends!

I'm so excited to share with you that I was invited to teach a workshop in Madrid Spain

 It will take place on 17 September 2016 

and together we will make a canvas full of textures and colors, 

filled with amazing products by ColourArte and Finnabair.

.

In this workshop we will create textured background with Finnabair Art Basics, stamps and stencils, 

we'll do watercoloring techniques and draw beautiful flowers with ColourArte products

and make amazing butterflies with the new Vivid acrylic paints by ColourArte.

And of course you will return home with a beautiful canvas made by you :)

I can't wait to meet in person all of you who will be attending my class, 

I'm sure we will have an amazing time!

Here is my introduction on the Zumo Creativo web site

ATHANASIA: ME AND MYSELF

MY NAME IS ATHANASIA WHICH MEANS IN GREEK IMMORTALITY.  AS A MUSICIAN I LOVE ALL KINDS OF ARTS. WHEN I AM NOT PLAYING THE PIANO, I FIND MYSELF AT MY SCRAPPY DESK MAKING ART JOURNAL PAGES, LAYOUTS, CANVASES, TAGS, ATCS, ALTERING THINGS AND MORE.  (TRADUCCIÓN ESPAÑOL –> MY NOMBRE ES ATHANASIA QUE SIGNIFICA INMORTALIDAD EN GRIEGO. COMO MÚSICO QUE SOY AMO TODO TIPO DE ARTE. CUANDO NO ESTOY TOCANDO EL PIANO, ME ENCUENTRO A MÍ MISMA EN MI MESA DE SCRAP HACIENDO PÁGINAS DE ART JOUNAL, LO, CANVASES, ETIQUETAS, ATC´S, ALTERANDO COSAS Y MÁS.)

I get inspiration from almost everything like colors, nature, flavors and smells and of course my music. I like vintage look as much as modern, that depends on the mood. (Traducción–> Cojo inspiración de casi todo, como de los colores, la naturaleza, sabores y olores y por supuesto, de la música. Me gusta más el look vintage que el moderno, eso depende del humor.)

I love the limitless choices & combinations of mixed media techniques, not only with memories of my life & my family, but also with emotions & ideas that I have in my head & want desperately to express! I enjoy making videos and I hope I will inspire you with my projects! (Amo las elecciones y combinaciones ilimitadas de las técnicas mixed media, no sólo con los recuerdos de mi vida y mi familia, sino también, con las emociones e ideas que tengo en la cabeza y que quiero expresar desesperadamente! Me divierto haciendo videos y… ¡Espero inspirarte con mis proyectos!)

Create opportunities - Denim Journal with Video

Hello sweet friends! 

Today I'm hosting the Finnabair blog with a page in my Denim Journal.

I loved this photo the moment I found it on Pinterest and of course I wanted to make a page with it in my new Denim Journal :)

I used only a few media like the Light Paste,(I adore the beautiful texture it creates), Black Gesso and Mica Powders.

In order to start building my page and create the main cluster I used a chipboard leftover.

I always keep these goodies, for me they are the best pieces to give more interest to my pages.

I applied some Light Paste here and there on the chipboard too, to help the beautiful colors of the Mica Powders stick on there.

To decorate my page I used some cute brads (stars and screws) to secure the ends of the wire and 7Dots Studio stickers. I also used my stapler on the photo, stickers and wire.

To give more interest to the background I used some stamps here and there and made splashes with the Black Heavy Gesso.

I share all the details and the whole process in my video, I hope you will enjoy it :)

***You can find links of all supplies used in this project HERE.

Thank you for visiting, 

have a lovely crafty day!
