mixed media star collage love

 I have been totally obsessed with mixed media collage this summer. Swooning over the textures that acrylic matte medium creates. It's easy to bring them out by using a small bit of dark acrylic paint on a paper towel. You just buff it in, wait a minute, then buff off with a clean paper towel. Total game changer. I've done hearts and stars.. trying to think of more fun shapes!

A Creative Weekend!

Playing with different media. Crayon over acrylics.

My weekend project. Background is doodles in acrylic and watercolor on an acrylic base, outlined in Sharpie. We were at the coast and I collected a bunch of driftwood inspired by this post. Love Alisa Burke's creativity. 

Playing around with more backgrounds for future doodles!
