All the flowers were hand-cut and arranged. Since, I don't have flower punches or die cuts, they are not that much perfect.

Sea Themed Layout

Inspired by this mood board from Scrap Around the World, I have created this sea themed layout.

Here, I have used a pizza box as a canvas.

I started with covering the entire pizza box with scraps of newspapers. Then, I added two coats of home made gesso.

Then I added some acrylic paints with a mesh  grocery bag. Once the board was ready, I added the beautiful quote, from the mood board.

I was inspired by the star fish and the sea horse from the mood board.  I used the card boards from the cereal box for making these sea creatures.I loved the sea coral too. So I tried to make few corals and again those corals were made with cereal box cardboard. I added texture to these sea creatures with glue, sugar and water colors.

I  applied the glue on the cardboard and sprinkled sugar on the glue. Once the glue - sugar mix dried completely,  I applied the watercolor on the glue - sugar mixture. Here are  a few close - up pictures.

Here is the completed work.

Love....

A simple layout created with the theme LOVE...

 I have used a cardboard as the base for this project. To begin with, I covered the entire cardboard with tissue towels. Then I used watercolors to color the entire surface. The watercolors created a nice texture. Then I allowed it to dry.

I used a cardboard from an empty cereal box to make a clock in heart shape. The border of the clock is stamped with an eraser, that is at the back of the pencil. The border of the entire layout is again stamped with the pencil. The small hearts were stamped by carving the earplug.
 

I made some tissue paper flowers and colored them with marker pens. I traced and cut out the word LOVE from a waste cardboard, again... this is also from a cereal box. 

I found this photo of the baby holding the heart in an advertisement flyer. Thought it would me apt for this layout. I added that photo too.

At last, I added the quote by Jeremiah Feinburg 

" You can't measure love with time, only with timeless moments "

Cardboard Chandelier

This is my first try on making a cardboard chandelier. I have used the cardboard from an empty cereal box.

  
Open the cereal box. We will get a sheet of cardboard. I folded the piece of cardboard and drew the  desired pattern on one side. The pattern was cut out. Using the pattern cut out, I drew and got 3 more similar patterns.

 They were stuck together with glue. Now the chandelier is done.

Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #8 - Something New for the New Year  

A Simple Scene

I have been thinking of some way to recycle the cookie tins that were lying around. An idea of painting some scenery came into my mind. Instead of just painting, i thought of adding some recycled materials to create a scene.


I painted the sky and a landscape. Then I added  cloud, sun, small birds, plant, a small hut, lawn and butterflies.


The small piece of cloud was cutout of corn husk.

The sun, birds, leaves in the plant were from a waste cardboard  (cereal box).

A dried stick was used as a stem of the plant.

The flower was cutout from a waste plastic milk jug.

The small butterfly is made from a waste tissue roll.

The hut was made with dried pine leaves.

I used some fresh pine leaves for the lawn around the hut.

Here is the outcome,
