For this I chose to alter a Tissue Roll.
I used corrugated sheet and burlap to make the surface of the roll and change it into a beautiful Pen Stand. Ofcourse you can keep anything in it...brushes, pens, pencils...
I chose my favourite theme under the sea and worked on it, this time a lighter shade.

Mixed media Altered Box for Scrappin 4 fun

Hello Friends,

Hope you are doing fine. We were experiencing flood like situation here in Mumbai with heavy rainfall and crazy wind. But people have learnt from the past and didn't take the risk of going out in water which is the best part. The school holidays extended that means no time for crafting and just playing whole day with my kiddo...

Amidst all this I take out time late at night to play with my scraps and today I am here with one of my already favorite altered art for Scrapping4funchallenges Blog. IThis is my first DT post for the challenge blog and I'm very excited to join the talented team.The theme this month is "Different Techniques" so I chose a Cell Phone box to alter and I used Stenciling, layering, Inking, dry brushing in the project.

For my box, I gave a coat of gesso then a scripture stencil. I used corrugated sheet, jute cord, art stones, net and chippies to create texture. 

I altered this box.

For coloring I used spray inks and chalk paint. I did dry brushing with gesso once I was satisfied with the coloring part.I used sea shells, Flowers, a metal clock, few pearls and beads here and there for embellishment. I did the same for the sides of the box as well some stenciling and paints.

for the bottom part, I only colored that after giving a coat of gesso. Some more pics ...

Mixed Media Bottle #2

Hello Crafty Friends,
Today I'm sharing a mixed media project. I wanted to make something with underwater theme and mixed media, so thought of experimenting on a glass bottle. 
I am still learning mixed media but I love using all scraps and make something new. Here I coated the bottle with heavy white gesso. Then used a stencil to make some texture on it. Crackle paste is something I really love to use on my projects, here also u can see the effect.I wanted to make something other than just a showpiece or a vase... so attached a small photo frame to it. I thought the frame will look a bit small so glued a tag behind it. The tag is also a scrap. It's a price tag which got a coat of heavy gesso on both sides then crackle paste and then the colors made it look really good. I love the entire tag and frame area on the bottle. I used charms, small flowers, gauge cloth and most importantly sea shells to give a sea feeling to my project.

Added few beads to give it some more textured and sparkling look. 

So, Let's take a look...

I hope you like the project.
