Mixed Media Arts and Crafts

Hi StatenIsland,
So glad you mentioned mixed media...love it!!
During lockdown I made surreal collages using magazine and book images which was great fun!
I've got together a huge stash of images just waiting to be used.
I know what you mean about watching YouTube...very addictive but leaves no time for you to actually do any lol!!
Have you seen Gelli printing yet...omg...my kitchen was covered in prints the first time I tried it! Great for backgrounds in art journals.
I love the idea of making paper....maybe I'll give it a go?
All the best to you!

Sadly I’m in East Anglia - I would also love to find a group to create mixed media with.

I retired three years ago and in readiness started getting crafting items together. Have plenty of resources now. Don’t watch crafting site anymore as I buy too much, and then wonder why when they turn up! I’m seeking like-minded people/ craft clubs, in area of Shrewsbury, Shropshire and a few miles West of Shrewsbury. So that we can share ideas, etc., and generally use what I have got to hand. It’s all just gathering dust.

OP I’m really into all these things too. I took a course a year ago on creative bookbinding which I also loved and I also love collage and print making. Willa Wanders is currently running a free 9 day course that I am loving. I follow her on Instagram

I’m a card maker. It’s great relaxation and I never dreamt I’d be making card models. I go to a craft group and I’ve been able to do screen printing and vinyl work with the group. We’ve made t shirts and mugs. So good to learn from others and share supplies.

NotSpaghetti - Extraordinary vibrant pieces. Not sure they are my cup of tea but liking the idea that they are made from recycled materials.

Lynnwils - No, I haven't but have heard of the Dylusions range as Kylie Coo used some of her products on one of her wonderful grungy projects. I'll check out DR's channel. Thanks.

Oh yes I’m a mixed media and scrapbooker. Do you watch Dyan Reaveley? Lots of YouTube videos and a few Facebook pages. Dylusions is the range.

I came across this person the other day.
Not sure if she's of interest?
