Moments Of Joy - Mixed Media Altered Home Decor

Hello Craftivators!
I’m back again with another mixed media altered art project. Today I’ll be sharing with you how I create a simple home decor using mixed media.

I got inspired by my life and current situations to create today’s piece.
Being a student of architecture, I have to work intensively for hours. Some nights I don’t even get the chance to sleep. My work load have increased to a great extent since I’m working from home in this quarantined time. Sometimes it gets a bit to overwhelming and depressing for me and I start regretting my decisions. But the very next moment I realize that at least I’m privileged enough to get to choose the subject I wanted to study, do what I love, have a secured place to shelter myself in this time of distress and have my loved ones support me for no matter what. Rather than overthinking about everything I should be grateful and happy for everything I have and believe there’s a moment of joy in every day!

This was my dt project for the Splashymix challenge. Their amazing moodboard inspired me to choose the colors blue and brown for this project.

I also got inspired by the lovely moodboard of the MORE THAN WORDS Challenge. I always love birds. When I’m all awake till dawn, the chirping sounds of the birds cutting through the silence always amuses me and makes me happy. I try finding my joy from moments like this EVERYDAY!

Mixed Media Altered Hoop - Desserts

Hello Craftivators!
I hope you guys are doing well, staying home and staying safe in this extremely tough time.
I’ve quarantined myself from last week as my classes got suspended. That actually left me a lot of time to spend for myself and think about what’s going on in our lives. This time of crisis also taught me that every negative things has a positive impact on our lives too.
Thinking about the positive sides of this terrible time, I realized how much this world needed a break from us humans and how much us humans needed a break from the outside world. We really needed a break from all those extra office hours, sleepless nights trying to complete our assignments, morning alarms, traffic jams and what not!
Now that I’ve got all the time for myself, I started appreciating every little thing around me a little more than I used to and realized how much we were missing out as we were busy running for unrealistic goals whereas “There’s a moment of joy in every day”. So this is what I chose for today’s sentiment.

For today’s project, I’ll be sharing with you a Mixed Media Altered Hoop. I got inspired by the different memories I shared with my family to create today’s project. My grandma first introduced me to sewing hoops when I was a little girl and gave me one as gift. I’ve kept that for many years now but recently after seeing it again, I got this idea of altering a sewing hoop. So here it is!
I got inspired by my mum to add the photos of the desserts as she loves making desserts for me!

I also got inspired by the moodboard of the More Than Words  Challenge Moodboard to create this project. So here’s my take on their March 2020 moodboard!

Mixed Media Bookmark

Hi Crafty Friends,
Fairuz Fabiha here from Craftivation. Today I’m back again with a technique of using the amazing Robin’s Nest dewdrops! I’ll be showing you how I used these mini dewdrops to not only embellish my project but also add texture on the background using the dewdrops.
For my today’s project, I’ve decided to make an mdf bookmark.

Step by step process:

1. At first I took an mdf tag by Lisa Horton Crafts as the base of my bookmark.

2. Applied a layer of Fabrikadecoru resist texture paste through the maze stencil by Lisa Horton Crafts.

3. Added mini dew drops by the Robin’s Nest all around the edges of the bookmark and applied a layer off gesso to prime the surface.

4. Applied layers of spray paints by Fabrikadecoru.

5. Embellished the bookmark with mdf tag sentiment, sisal, tassel and ribbon.

6. Finally added some white dewdrops to finish it off.

A New Beginning - Altered Ring Box

Hello Craftivators!

I’m back again with another altered art project. But today’s project is very special because I altered an engagement ring box!! It’s a very small project but has great impacts. x

Even though the most beautiful things in life are not materialistic things. They are people and the places,the memories and pictures. They are feelings and moments, tight hugs, smiles and laughter. But an engagement ring do have a special place in our heart and has a special impact on our lives which highlights an important event and makes us trust ‘The Magic Of A New Beginning’.

For this special project, I got inspired by the inspirational words and colors of the moodboards of More Than Words Challenge and Mixed Media Academy Challenge.
I also got inspired by the ‘Anything Goes’ theme of the Bleeding Art Challenge to use mixed media on my project.
So this is my take on their January 2020 moodboard, as I take part in their challenges. xx

I loved the bright and beautiful sunset colors of the creative inspiration and tried to incorporate those colors on my project. The word inspiration ‘highlight’ is incorporated in my project by highlighting an important event of life and also by the sentiment used inside of the box.

Art Journal Layout

Hello Craftivators!
Today I’ll be sharing with you some inspirational pictures of a beautiful art journal layout I recently created. This project is my entry for the More Than Words Challenge for the month of December.
The theme of this month’s challenge is “Rejoice and Anything Goes”

Today’s project is really special and very dear to my heart because it is related with my mother. I ‘rejoice’ every moment I spent with my mom since childhood till today. She has always been my biggest support, reason to smile, a shoulder to cry on and my best friend with whom I can share everything. This layout is a small tribute to her and our special bond.
The picture I used in the layout is from the year 2001, when I was just one and a half years old. This picture is very precious!

For the ‘Anything Goes’ part of the challenge, I used mixed media to complete the project.

Mixed Media Altered Cardboard Birdhouse

Hi Craftivators!
Today I’ll be sharing with you some inspirational pictures of how I altered a DIY cardboard Birdhouse using mixed media.
I created this project as my entry for the December challenge of Mixed Media Academy and Bleeding Art Challenge

Winter is all about fun, love, coziness and beautiful white fluffy snow! I tried to interpret that image through my cozy birdhouse covered with snow. Using multiple types of mediums (mixed media) in my projects is my favorite style. That’s what I tried to show through my project.
