It’s Wednesday today, so that means there is a new blog post from the Mixed Media Art Crew up on Birgit Koopsen’s blog.
I transformed a useful, but rather boring item into something fun and colourful using fabric dye and paint.
Curious to know what it is? Visit Birgit’s blog to see!
Enjoy your day!
It’s my turn on the n*Studio blog today! Which means that it’s time to share last month’s project with you here!
Pattern Lovers Love Patterns
Last month the n*Studio Creative Squad assignment was to play with pattern, in my case using Nathalie’s Santiago Stencil and the Embroidery Stamp Set!
And because Harold and I were redecorating the living room, I thought I’d alter a couple of plain white tiles so we can use them as coasters.
Read the how-to in this post on Nathalie’s blog: Pattern Lovers Love Patterns – Marsha Valk.

Did you catch my latest guest tutorial on the Carabelle Studio blog?
I even created a video so you can see exactly what I did to create the art journal spread in my Midori Traveler’s Notebook:
You can find all the written steps and a materials list in this post on the Carabelle Studio blog.

Out and About
Just in case you missed it: the Creative Squad had a super special assignment last month.
In honour of the release of Nat’s book ‘Artful Adventures in Mixed Media’ (aff.link) the Squad played along with her 30 day Artful Adventures Stroll Challenge and created with the prompt of the day of our posts in mind.
My prompt was ‘Pattern’!
And I made the art journal page you can see above, as well as a couple of Mondriaan inspired cards!
