the beautiful work of christina romeo  :: her etsy shop

A mixed media morning

Sunday I had planned to get stuck into this new project but friends from far away lands popped by for a visit so my schemes got put on hold. Yesterday I wanted to get the jewels out and the day sped away from me. But this morning I awoke full of inspiration and drive and have just completed these.

This one is my favourite.

I ironed a copy of a little painting I did a few months ago of two little birds on a branch onto a piece of fabric and then layered paint, paper and a snip of vintage lace ontop.

I still have the iron out (a rare sighting in this house!) so I'll keep working away.

Mixed media project 1

Here is a sneaky peak at a little project I am going to work on tonight. I am loving the magazine and am full of inspiration and ideas!

I have been following Suzi Blu and her mixed media classes and other artists and want to give it a go for myself, using my favourite mediums and techniques; sewing, drawing, collage ect.

I am loving the new downloads too, a new look for the blog perhaps?
