Hope you are all doing ok.
So, what am I sharing today? A challenge I entered here at Artist Trading Post
I really hope that works (still learning)?
(Now before I go further, I apologise if pics are different sizes. They look odd in preview but won't know until I publish (mobile phone doesn't show properly)).
Right, onwards....
Then acrylic paints, inks & blended with water + fingers.. A few highlights to "rust" it up a bit. Added die cuts & Tim H chit chat words. I like the contrast of white here.
Part of challenge was to use a product that can be found at ATP (list below with close ups on texture, my favourite part of mixed media involving different surfaces).
Hope you like my "altered artefacts & debris, was great to play.
Thank you all for looking in & putting up with my basic blog layout. One day, lol.....
Check out
artisttradingpost.blogspot.com (I really tried to make this a link, sorry. You just need to use the one that worked above, trust me, well worth it!)
To the great team at Artist Trading Post, I hope my first ever link (thank you, Kasia) is correct for your challenge.
See you all next time. Any comments are very welcome! I get so much pleasure reading your thoughts!
Take care till then.x

Oh my world ! I am speechless. This is marvelous work. I love all the findings, put together so well. Mixed media heaven with fabulous mix of colurs. Loving this Caroline, delighted to see that you are making more art and I am sure you are enjoying it ! This reminds me of walking in the park, where birds are singing, trees are green and weather is fantastic. Cannot wait to see more of your works !
Sending you my hugs, Marta xx
ps. definately I am pinning it to one of my fav boards - Inspirational Mixed Media !
Love the theme and the colors go well with that. The white bits are genius; much better than the usual black silhouette. Great job.
looks very cool, i love it :D also very nice colors and very clever with the rust, it finishes it of !!! great job, you rock girl ;)
Haaaaaaaa Caroline has a blog! First off all about the canvas.....I love it! I was a little bored by a lot of work in finnabair style , just because everybody does the same thing. But you managed to give your own twist, love that! the colors look great! And the little rosty color pimps it! About the blog........if you have questions, just ask me ok? For the link: you should just type the name that you want to link, in this case: artist trading blog. Than you make it blue like you would copie it and you go up above your post. There is a button that says : link. Click it and you can give in the link that the word in your text has to go to. I hope you see what I mean, my english, pfffffffffff You perhaps should also add a follower gadget. It is one of the first you see in the gadget list. Because not everybody want to follow by email. Stop talking less about what you make, be proud! In the end it is just yours and nobody will ever think of it. I had the same problem and now started just making what I like .Have a great weekend xxx
Well, I knew you had a blog, I mean happy to see you posting :)
Lovely canvas Caroline. I like the vibrant colours you've used and the pieces from nature. :) 👍😄 - Lynn
Beautiful canvas, Caroline. I liked the colors and you have done beautiful job with background texture.
Oh, Marta, you are always so quick to support & encourage me. You are also so generous, I am so chuffed you like my piece & you have an image of walking in the sunny park, birds singing. How delightful? Huge THANK YOU to you! Bless you for pinning too, Wow!😀x

Oh my, what an amazing comment! I am so grateful, Thank you very much. I was worried about the white but went with my preference as oppose to norm, I think? Lol. Glad you like it & really happy you came by. Again, my thanks!! :))
Awe Renske, if you think it's cool, that's me HAPPY! Glad you think "rusting it up" worked, was worried it looked like a bad fake tan? Lol. You are brilliant & constantly make me smile, I am uber grateful you came by...Massive THANK U!! Tk care. :)))
Wilma, you are a star!! How wonderful of you to come by & support me! Yes, I really want my blog to be "my place", I don't want to necessarily do what the current thing is (I can't, not that clever). Just being me (as much as poss, lol). If I am inspired by someone, I'll say so, of course.
I am also grateful for tips you have given, will try link thing. The gadget part is driving me nuts, have tried & tried. I won't give up tho & I will now pester you if I need help, tee hee...
Bless you, I appreciate your comment, your friendship & your creativity attitude! THANK YOU!! :))
Hey Lynn, how fab to see you pop in! I am so glad you like my "bits & pieces" from nature too. It was fun to do. Thank you very much for your kindness & commenting!! :))
Oh Shilpa, to have you say you like my piece means a lot. You are constantly creating wonderful pieces, I am very happy you came to my blog! Thank you so much for your generous comment, appreciate it!! :))
Beautiful work of art! Love all the texture and pretty color palette!
Hello Mona! I am of course familiar with your creativity so it's a pleasure to have you stop by here. Thank you for such a big compliment! (Blushing again)
I'll be honest, I am rather taken aback with all the wonderful support & kind words? I am used to being on "the other side". Lol. Perhaps I should dedicate a post to "being a newbie"?
I really do appreciate you taking time out to come by with your kindness! Have a good, crafty day... :))
