Complexity and Simplicity

Happy September!

Our new challenge at Scraps N Pieces is up!

"Opposites Attract"

My art journal page is about Complexity and Simplicity.

I tried to include in one page two different styles...

For this project I used ColourArte products (Primary Elements, H2Os, Silks and Vivids) to color it

and Finnabair Art Basics Products (White Heavy Gesso and Modeling Paste), stencils and stamps.

Chipboard pieces by 2Crafty Chipboard.

You can find a journal like this at The Journal Shop.

The butterflies are handmade by me :)

So, I hope I see your creation at Scraps N Pieces blog, 

for a chance to win a beautiful collection by Crafty Impressions.

You can create any type of project as long as it's relative with our theme

 "Opposites Attract"

for example black-white, male-female, day-night, past-present, etc.

Thank you for visiting,

have a lovely crafty day!

Hello dear friends!

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

during a fabulous event called Zumo Creativo hosted by Lola Barbosa! 

 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!)
