Yuletide by Lynne Forsythe

....Tis the season, to get busy!!
I always seem to be in need of
some type of last minute gift, this time of year....

Here is an EASY PEASY
"Yuletide" wall hanging I made in a half hour!

I think....
I may need to stock up on a few more packages of
UmWowStudio ~ Yuletide tags

The base for "Yuletide" is piece of 100 year old Barn Board.

I then assembled various layers of

Vintage Lace

Wire Mesh

Vintage Sheet Music

Burlap

Canvas and

Flute

I painted each of the Yuletide tags with

Polishing Plaster and

finished them off with a jute bow!

I'm off to order more "Yuletide" tags!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all the UmWowStudio Fans!!

PS....YES that is snow in my photos....
first one of the season!

The Struggle was REAL by Lynne

Hi UmWowStudio Fans.....

Have you ever started a project "greatly inspired"

to have your inspiration peter away and leave you 

STRUGGLING!

Well.....this was one of those projects!

I wanted to play along with this month's

I just LOVED the mood board...
the colors...
the birch tree....
the tree branch....

I COULDN'T WAIT to get started!!

I pulled out my bag of Birch Bark

(NONE of the Birch Bark was removed from a live tree!!)

....a few twigs,

a bit of cream colored fabric

(which I never used)

....an old paper bag

and a 6" x 12" Natural Canvas.

I tore the paper bag to size,

spritzed it with water and manhandled it!

Then, I adhered it to my canvas with Multi Medium Matte.

I applied Polishing Plaster through my

UmWowStudios

Handwriting Stencil.

Then, I pulled out my bag of UmWowStudio's
Alphas One
and applied them in cluster's
adhered with Multi Medium Matte.

When dry, I created a 50/50 mixture

of Glaze Medium and Gesso,

brushed it on my canvas,

waited a minute then wiped it off with baby wipes

until I achieved my desired look!

I was LOVING my canvas....

THEN.....

I added a layer of Glaze Medium and Aged Copper,

....and the struggle began!

I adhered Birch pieces to my canvas...

I struggled....

I splattered on various Glimmer Mists...

I struggled more!

Finally....I had to stop.

So...I decided to take my creation out to the fence

to photograph my creation...
to get a BETTER look at it!

Did I save it??? By adding....

chicken wire

and

UmWowStudio

Home Grown MASH

I dabbed various fall colors, on the chippie leaves,

inspired by the leaves in the mood board

then I shaped the leaves.

I colored a piece of seam binding with various Glimmer Mists

and wrapped it around my canvas

along with a piece of unraveled jute.

Do you see the various hearts nestled in the background??

UmWowStudio

Layered Hearts and

Home Grown MASH

....so there you have it!!

Hope you have enjoyed my struggle....

because it was real!

Words for Art

....to be AWESOME by Lynne

Hi UmWowStudio Fans.....

Have you been enjoying ALL

of the AMAZING creations by

our super talented Design Team!!

I don't know if you know....
our FEARLESS leader DeeDee Catron,

along with Jenn Engle
have started a challenge...

here is the current mood!!

PS.....they have GREAT how to videos!!

Here is my take....

I began with a Pocket ~ Canvas Shape

then pulled out a bit of vintage lace

some VERY old wall paper and

adhered them to my canvas shape.

I pulled out a couple of my

UmWowStudio chippies...

Grid Border 

some of the pieces were still in the Grid Border,

so I applied a layer of Multi Medium

to the back, to hold them in place!

Chevron Strips

I painted the Grid Border with

a bit of Moss Green acrylic paint,

 mixed with gesso.

I then spritzed it with a Bronze mist.

I sprayed the Chevron with

Woven Burlap mist.

I love the buttons and bits I used to accent 

my UmWowStudio chippies!!

I pulled out my

UmWowStudio Wonky Circle stencil

and applied texture medium through it.

Using a palette knife and my fingers i applied a bit

of paint over top the stenciled image.

I finished off my "pocket" with a flower diecut from

vintage receipts. I also stamped my quote on

similar paper!

I hope you enjoyed my take on

Our Mixed Media Moods

and that you will play along too!!!
