Crescent Moon Dreamcatcher - Artists Live Ustream Show

Every month I'm up on the Artists Live Ustream Channel and I re-create a project in a Live free class. The show airs every monday at 20.00 CET. This time, I made a Crescent Moon Dreamcatcher using a whole range of Finnabair's mixed media projects.

Using an embroidery hop for my dreamcatcher circle and loads of ribbons, Sandra Evertson Relics to put together this 6" Dreamcatcher.

I used Finnabair's black gesso, white gesso, Soft matte gel, Art Stones and Mini Art Stones to make the insides of the dreamcatcher. Everything is colored with the Oil Pastels from Prima. Would you like to see who I made this, you can watch the recording of the show.

Remember this is just a recording of the show so there will be some interaction with the audience watching on the day it's recorded. 

I just love the Sandra Evertson Relics and Artifacts and have worked a bit with them these past months. I painted these with black gesso and added oil pastels to color and finished off with Viva Decor - Inka Gold - Old Silver. The ribbon is colored with Color Bloom - Deep Teal, Tea Stain and White Frost.

The moon is die-cutted out of the crescent moon and stars dies from Tim Holtz. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today.. would love to hear what you think about my dreamcatcher. Have a great Valentine's Day! - Yasmin

Mixed Media Rust Effect Altered Box

Happy New Year everyone! A new year means new beginnings and I thought I'd start the new year with a little share of one of my resent projects. I made this as a gift for my aunt that turned 60 i November. An Altered tin with Finnabair's Rust effect Paste.

My base for my project is a sardin type tin that I've used loads of Finnabair's fantastic mediums to alter.

I added loads of microbeads, and shine to my project using Lindy's Stamp Gang mists. I love the dark blue mica that shines trough here.

Would you like to see how I altered this little tin? Please take a look at the video below.

I've used a bunch of vintage items like crochet items, a coin and some other little trinkets. The photo of my aunt is for her confirmation and she's about 15 years old. 

The pocket watch was from last years release from Finnabair. I glued her photo onto a glass pebble and added it inside. The ribbon is colored with Lindy's Stamp Gang mists. 

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. Would love to hear what you think about my little project. HUGS!

Canvas Video Tutorial for the Flying Unicorns

Halloween Shadowbox DT Marion Smith Designs

Hello my sweets! It's yet another day and my turn at Marion Smiths Designteam blog. I made another shadowbox for today but this time I did a Halloween project! oh yes.. It's all about the spooks and scares today :)


I do love to make this shadowboxes even though they are small, they actually do take quite sometime to make! It's just soo many small embellishment in one piece.


I've used papers in the background from Marion Smith Designs "Wicked Times" Collection and the Skeleton - witch I think is just super cool - is also Marion Smith. I've also used junque and gems tear drop gems, bottles and flowers.

I've painted the shadowbox with black gesso, added colorlab pigment into white gesso and created the orange and purple paint. I added a coat of white gesso to the skeleton and the whole box is covered in crackle paint. Still not sure if I like it or not. Oh well.. painted is painted...

Thank you so much for joing me today! I'd love to hear what you think :)
