Learn a new mixed media art journaling technique using matte acrylic paint and a smooth scraping tool, such as a wooden chop stick or back of a paintbrush. Create a background image for your art journal page by addig layers of acrylic paint to your page and then letting it dry. Choose a color that you want to peek through the next layer. Then, add another layer of contrasting paint. Gently scrape lines, dashes, circles, or other shapes into the wet paint. Let dry. You will have interesting and subtle textures and shapes for your page, similar to sgraffito. #MixedMedia #ArtJournal #DanielaMellen If you enjoy the video, please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and SHARE! 💓 #ArtJournalPage #BookArts #PaperCrafts #ArtCollage

Slow Stitching is about pulling stitches through fabric. It's a meditative, calming, and creative process that focuses on the process, rather than a pre-determined outcome. And once you get started slow stitching, you create LOTS of tidbits. What do you do with all these sweet little masterpieces? In today's video, I'll show 3 things that you can do with your stitched projects, rather than framing them or storing them in a basket. #SlowStitching #FabricCollage #DanielaMellen ► SUBSCRIBE ► Slow stitching is a process of sewing fabric pieces together in a way that is creative and soothing. The finished piece of a fabric collage isn't traditional like something a quilter or a seamstress would make, because the goal is in a specific result.

Watch the video to see. 😚💓 Thank You So Much for Watching! 😚💓 If you enjoy the video, please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and SHARE! 💓 #TextileArt #FabricArt #HandSewing #ArtCollage #MixedMedia #ArtJournal ------------------------------------
