What did you create today?

I've been updating my gallery with projects that I had only uploaded to Facebook over the past 8 months or so, kinda nice to have them in one central location. A lot of people think that all I do is digital now, and honestly, I'm taking a break from digital sort of....although digital is kinda have a hard time letting go! LOL Yesterday I was offered a paid position in the digital community, and it's weighing heavy on my mind deciding what to do. Mixed media is calling my name..........

So here is what I've uploaded the past few days!

Have You Seen The Canvas Mini Albums From C&T?

Have you tried scrapping or art journaling with a canvas album yet? The C&T album is awesome because you can get inbetween the pages, and embroider or stuff them as you see fit! This is my {i bet i can make you believe in} "Love, Sex, and Magic" art journal I made for the C&T Creative Troupe Call Out for the Art Materials Trade Show earlier this year. The cover above is painted with soft body acrylic paint so the canvas remains flexible (green), a Prima felt piece layered with a peacock feather and black Prima flower. I made both the cover and page 1, then stuffed with fiberfill, and sewed it shut with a blanket-stitch.
 
Page 3 features Lutrador Mixed Media sheets. I printed a digital patterned paper (sofa's from a kit by Emily Merritt) and made it as an insert between page 2 and 3. The C&T Publishing Site tells more about Lutrador..."Everyone's talking about Lutradur, the fabulously versatile non-woven fabric. Your customers can cut it, sew it, paint it, print it, stencil it, stamp it, pleat it, dye it, distress it, draw on it, die-cut it, punch it, sculpt with it, bead it, do gel transfers onto it, weave it. Create delicate translucent effects with paints, inks, dyes, and stamps. The perfect size for ink-jet printers or all-in-ones. Available in 10-sheet packs exclusively from C&T Publishing."
