Mixed Media pARTy - Thank You!

Hi all!

There has been crafty weekends, there has been events, fairs and workshops but never ever a weekend like the last one was. We had our long waited Mixed Media pARTy over at Poland, close to Wroclaw in the mountains in a place called Agropajda.
House full of joy, full of happy crafters for 48 hours was the time of our lives!
We had four workshops, four amazing and very different teachers teaching us how they make their art and everyone enjoyed the fun.

Weekend started with delicious goodie bags full of 13@rts products!

Our educators were working hard and had fun too:)



Terhi Koskinen started the weekend with class at Friday evening, and the night was for free style crafting and people were so busy! Some made three layouts during the night!

After Terhi's class.
Saturday morning was for Aida Domisiewicz's class, she taught us how to create a canvas in rich colors. Then Olga Heldwein took the teacher position and lead us to use our leftover stash to create a perfect tree. Saturday was completed with Anna Rogalska's class, everyone loved her rich, airy, flowery and colorful scrapbooking style.

After Aida's class.

Late Saturday was for campfire outside, the sky full of star and warm fire was amazing! We ate a lot of delicious Polish food, and of course had some tastes of Polish vodka.

Sunday we had some contests, shopping and crafting - what a wonderful weekend! 

View from the classroom.


The whole room floor was covered with art - breathtaking view!


Friends, laughter, food, wine, fun!

Creating, so focused.

You will find a lot of more pictures from Instagram using a hashtag #mixedmediaparty - enjoy.

Thank you all for this weekend, we can't wait to see you again!

Art Journal Cover with Step-By-Step Tutorial - by Jacqueline Moore

Hi everyone!!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and a great start to the week!!!

Today I would like to share with you the cover of my new Art Journal. I have used some simply stunning 13 Arts Mediums, Sprays and a few other bits and pieces. Actually I think its the first time I have not tried to use every last thing in my 13 Arts stash!!

 I have also put together a quick step-by-step tutorial for you, showing how I made this journal cover with just a few simple steps.

'Journal Cover'


Some details:








Here is the tutorial:

Step 1: 
I have simple started by giving the cover of my Art Journal a coat of Gesso. It is not perfect and doesn't really need to be. I only painted a thin coat because this journal came with this gorgeous pattern embossed into the cover and I had hoped to keep some of that texture in later steps. It is very difficult to see the retained texture in the photo's of the finished cover above, but in person you can see it and feel it whenever you pick it up.



Step 2: I have taken an array of metal embellishments, a large plaster heart and a couple of flowers and organized them on my cover. When I was happy with the composition I used Gel medium to glue them in place. I then put it aside overnight to be sure that the Gel medium was thoroughly dried.


Step 3: As I do not have any Black Gesso (although this product is available from 13 Arts), I have taken some Matte Black Paint and mixed it with equal parts Gel Medium to make it permanent. I have then painted the cover with it, being sure to get into all nooks and crannies. Depending on how thickly you paint it, you may need a second coat.


Step 4: When it was dry I have dry brushed some White Gesso over the top to create some highlighted areas.


Step 5: Next I have generously sprayed the cover with Pearl Silver, Pearl Violet, and Pearl Pink Mist, letting it pool then drying with a heat gun for interesting watercolor effects. I have then added splatters of all three colors all over the background and embellishments, before finally adding some Pearl Black Mist around the heart and adding a few small flicks all over.


Step 6: To finish off I have added Fine Black Mica around the heart, and to some of the embellishments, and also some Silver Microbeads, using Gel Medium to hold them in place. I finished off by adding a few more touches of Mist.



That is all I have to share with you today. I hope you were inspired to pull out your 13 Arts stash and have a play!!!
