Mood Board inspíred project for Dusty Attic

Hello lovelies!

It's Anat here with my take my take on the gorgeous Dusty Attic's July moodboard.

I just love this Moodboard!! What's great about it is that you can give it a Botanical interpretation as well as create something in an Industrial style.

I mixed the two styles... Iliked the outcome very much, do you like it too?

Both tag and small box were painted with impasto paints, brushed with texture pastes and rubbed with metalique waxes.

Here are the fabulous chipboards I have used:

Tag medley

Broken bits #12

Industrial corners

Fans mixed

Jumbo cogs 10pk

Mini cogs #2

Mini foliage

Back to Childhood Art Journal page for Art Daily Cafe

Hello crafty friends!

Long, lazy summer days, fresh cut grass smell, school, swimming pool with friends and dining room evenings are just a few of the memories I have from my childhood.

Some people have plenty of memories from various stages of early life, the funny thing is that my nostalgic collection seems to be greater when coming to smells and flavors! I remember less events but more of the environment.

In the chosen picture I'm about 2 years old, held by my Mom and having my aunt beside me. I don't remember that day but I'm sure it is well engraved n my mind as in my adulthood she became the my dearest aunt. She was Indeed a special person and her name features that - Sol (Solita) which means Sun in Portuguese. The same affection by nostology occurred with 2 of my cousins which as adults became my friends.

I don't have enough experience in the collage technique but I adore working on new stuff so I embraced the challenge and created this page. I'm sure I will do more of it in the future. As usual I've added a quote I like which is all about the written above: "Memories of childhood were the dreams that stayed with you after you woke.” Julian Barnes

Breaking the Rules for Art Daily Cafe

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Anat here with my take on my own theme for March and Moodboard by our dear Tusia - Breaking the Rules!

I have chosen this theme because I felt I was very attached to certain rules I have created to myself, based on many different issues and which I had to allow myself to let go.

In the history of Art, many Artists did choose at one point to deliberately break the rules of their time, rules about composition, perspective, narration, etc . While breaking those rules they did create some breakthrough works of Art. As said before by Pablo Picasso: "Learn the Rules as a Pro, so you can break them like an Artist!"

Breaking the rules doesn’t have to be so dramatic, it can be just a decision to ignore a rule of composition or just take risks with your style.

I challenge you to join me and break some of the confining rules that you have accepted as truth... Rules you've imposed upon your Art.

Thanks for stopping by!

Our Nest, Our Home ATC houses for Dusty Attic

Hello crafty friends!

It's Anat here, back with my moodboard inspired project - a trio of ATC houses.

I wanted to create this houses for sometime now, I've seen this idea with 2 great designers and friends and I loved it.

As you can see this set is made entirely with chipboards, when I made the composition I felt there wasn't any need to add another type of elemnt and I'm so inlove with what I come up with! After bulding the houses I painted them with Impasto paints, leaving the Natural background here and there, I than stampped them and went to color the chipboards using the same mixes of impasto paint adding a bit of rubbed metalique wax and dry brush gesso.

Hope you like my houses as much as I do!

the chipboards I've used are:
