Sovin podstavek/ Owl coaster

Prvi mixed media podstavek, mi je bil tako všeč, da sem naredila še enega. Ozadje sem naredila z akrilnimi barvami, želim si neon akrilne barve, ker pa jih nimam sem uporabila barvi, ki sta še nekako najbolj neonski v moji zbirki. Nato, sem svetlo modro barvo zmešala s strukturno pasto in uporabila šablono, ter naredila krogce. Nato sem pasto zmešala s črno barvo in uporabila šablono, ki mi je najljubša, in sem jo naredila sama in sicer številke.

I liked the first mixed media coaster that I did so much that I decided I will do another one. The background I did with acrylic colors, I wanted to be neon colours, but since I don't have neon colours, I used two colours that are most similar to neon colours and that I have. Then I used light blue color with structure past and I did circles with a stencil. Then I did the same with a black acrylic paint and I used my homemade stencils numbers and I just love this stencil.

Ko sem imela ozadje končano pa nisem točno vedela, kaj bi naredila za osrednjo točko. Zato sem se odločila, da grem na youtube poiskati kakšno idejo. Ko sem videla ta video sem vedela, da bom tudi jaz naredila sovo. Iz glasbenih not, sem izrezala oblike, ki sem jih potrebovala in izdelala sovo ter jo pobarvala.

When I finished the background, I didn't know what to do for my facial point, so I want on youtube for some inspiration. When I saw this video, I knew I want an owl. From music sheet I cut parts of the owl and colored it.

Okvir/Frame

Za ta predelan okvir, bi lahko rekla, da se je vse skupaj pokloplo med seboj. Že dlje časa sem razmišljala, da bi naredila nekaj takega, namesto slike samo misel. Ko mi je prijateljica Kimberly, ki sem jo spoznala na atcsforall forumu poslala paketek, v katerem se je nahajal tudi decoupage papir od 7gipsy, izziv pri craftalnici, pa je bil samo brca v rit, da sem se lotila dela. Za misel sem se odločila od A.Frank, saj mi je knjiga všec. Za lepljenje sem uporabila mod podge, nanesla pa sem ga pod papirjem in na papir.

For this altered frame, came everything together.  For a long time, I wanted to do something like this, instead of a picture just a quote in a frame. When a friend Kimberly, which I met on atcsforall forum, send me some tissue paper from 7gypsy and the challenge on craftalnica was say it with quote, I knew it is time to get to work. For glueing I used mod podge, I used under and on the paper. And for the quote I decided I will take on from A. Frank, since I like her book.

Ker pri meni ponavadi, vse eksplodira od barve, sem si tokrat zaželela, da bi bilo vse zelo umirjeno in preprosto. Dodala sem samo rožice na katerih sem uporabila Vintage photo in jih pošpricala z vodo, da so se cele obarvale.

Most of the time when I craft, there are a lot of colours, this time I wanted something calm. So I only added some flowers on which I used Vintage photo and used some water on them.

Reciklirana embalaža/ Recycled packaging

Včasih ko kaj kupim in je del embalaže tudi lepenka, si vedno mislim, kako dober tag bi bil tole, posebne oblike že izrezan, samo okrasiti ga je treba. No, največji problem pri tem je odstraniti plastičen del embalaže od lepenkastega, saj se velikokrat zgodi (vsaj meni), da se lepenka raztrga. Sedaj pa sem ugotovila, način kako ju ločiti in obdržati tag cel. Pomagam si s craft nožkom in zelo počasi napredujem. Dobro je tudi če je lepenka bolj trdna saj vse skupaj lažje nadzoruješ. Tudi če se majhen del tag-a raztrga, ga zlepim nazaj z belim lepilom, če ne uporabljaš barve za prekrit tag-a bi verjetno lahko uporabili tudi lepilni trak.

When I buy something, and the part of the packaging is also a cardboard, I always think it would be a nice tag, it is cut and special shape. The biggest problem, is how to separated the cardboard from the plastic part. I discovered, it can be done, very slow and with a craft knife and it helps if the cardboard is sturdy. Even if a part of the tag gets tear, I glue it with white glue, you can even use tape, if you won't use paint on it.

Nato sem uporabila barvo in jo s pomočjo kartice razmazala po lepenki, to naredim na tisti strani, kjer ima lepenka barvo in napis, da to prekrijem uporabim temnejše barve. Zelo mi je vseč oblika vijoličastega tag-a.

Then I use some paint and I paint it with a card, I use paint on the side where the colours and words are. I love the shape of the purple tag.

Na drugo stran pa sem z lepilom v stiku nalepila papir, na katerega bom pisala. Za enega sem uporabila črtast in za drugega karo papir. Sem človek, ki rabi črte, da lepo napišem, drugače je vsaka črka drugje. Mi je pa karo papir vsekakor lepši/ljubši od črtastega, če vas je morda zanimalo :)

On the other side I used a glue stick and glue some paper down. For one I used lined paper and for the other graph. I need lined paper, or else my alphabets are everywhere. But I prefer graph paper, if you were wondering :)

Tretji tag pa sem okrasila z papirjem, ki sem ga pobarvala s kavo.

This tag I did with a paper that I coffee dyed.

Perle iz blaga/ Fabric beads

Izdelovanje perlic iz ostankov blaga je odlično sprostitveno opravilo za večer pred televizorjem. Izdelava perl je super zabavno in ob tem porabiš še perle, ki so se ti razstresle ali pa od polomljenega nakita. Ne vem, pa kaj se je zgodilo s sliko, da se vidi odsev perl.

Doing beads from fabric is a great relaxing job in front of TV. Doing this kind of beads is super fun and you get to use all of the beads from the broken jewelry. I don't know what happened to the picture, there is a reflection from beads.  

Toliko različnih barv in barvnih kombinacij je možno narediti. Blago, ki sem ga uporabila sem dobila v poklon ali pa od starih oblačil.

So many color combinations and so many colors. The fabric that I used, I got it from a happy mail or I used it from old clothes. 

Za enkrat mi je uspelo narediti le dve zapestnici, Uporabila sem memory žico in še nekatere druge perle, ki sem jih našla v škatli s perlami, tako da je zapestnica res raznolika, od plastičnih, fimo, lesenih in iz blaga perlic. Zapestnici so bile komaj končani, ko mi je zgornjo zapestnico že zaplenila sestra, spodnja pa bo moja,

For now I only did two bracelets. I used memory wire and some other beads that I found in my box, so the bracelet is really diverse, I used plastic, fimo, wood and fabric beads. I finished the bracelets and the one on the top my sister took it and the one from the bottom is mine.

Roža/Flower

Na današnjo zaspano nedeljo, sem se malo poigrala s čipko, dodala nekaj pestičev in biserov in tako je nastala tale čipkasta rožica.

On this sleepy Sunday I decided to play with my lace, I added some floral stamens and some pearls and I got this lace flower.
