Mixed Media book cover for my Art Journal

This week, StampARTic is inspiring you to use old game pieces. I have created a Mixed Media book cover with some round game pieces.

Some time ago, I took a workshop with Andy Skinner. I have thought about using some of the skills from the class to develop my own work. I also wanted to create a cover for my Art Journal. So I decided to use some of the techniques on a mixed media cover.


I used a white sheet of paper and created effects of the crater in the paper with Molding Paste. The idea for "netting" effect in the paper is from Andy Skinners class. I have used Triton Acrylic markers with a paintbrush, and dry painted the colours on the top of the texture effect. A lot of the metal has also been painted with Triton markes - just to test them out - and YES they are brilliant!  I love the idea of having good paint for Mixed Media in a marker. I also love the idea, that it is water soluble before it has dried, but waterproof when it has dried.





I am entering these challenges:

  1. Is being speechless considered a compliment? I certainly hope so, because words elude me as to how wonderful this looks! Incredible textures and imagination just running rampant here.

  10. Wow Kirsten, another completely gorgeous stunner. Please stop tempting me with those pens as another pen/colouring addiction I don't need, nor looking at the price of them, can afford!!
