no excuses - art journal page

Witajcie ponownie!

Chciałam Wam pokazać kolejną stronę w moim art żurnalu. Prostą, ale całkowicie kompletną, z odrobiną koloru, jakimiś stemplami, kawałkami papieru i taśmy oraz krótkim tekstem. Wykorzystałam farbki akwarelowe od Primy, żeby dodać koloru. Użyłam też skrawków primowych papierów i naklejek od Tima Holtza - myślę, że razem świetnie współgrają. Ten wpis, wychodzi prosto z mojej duszy, bez żadnych ograniczeń, tak żeby pokazać historię, która miała być po prostu, opowiedziana. 

Hi again my dear creative souls!

As you can see this page is really simple, but they are complete to me, I'm happy with just bit of colour, some stamps, piece of papers or tape and some short text. I decided to use Prima watercolors to add colorful accents. I was using some Prima's papers and stickers from Tim Holtz - both combinations worked great! This journal spread is coming straight from the soul, there are no restrictions, just the story which was waiting to be told.

vintage traditional cards with Prima

Hello, my friends! It's hard to believe that December has already arrived, bringing with it the wonder and magic of the season. Many of us are in the midst of our preparations for this festive time of the year, with me creating vintage cards. I layered my favorite Prima papers from the Vintage Emporium line and Sweet Peppermint collection. I also used wonderful metal stars and Ephemera from Finnabair. I really love this vintage look. And you?

winter is coming

Winter is coming.

To co najbardziej uwielbiam w zimie, to jej surowość i blask. I to właśnie starałam się odtworzyć w moim nowym mixed mediowym projekcie. Po dłuższej walce, udało mi się doprowadzić kawałek mojego stołu do porządku, tak że mogłam zacząć sklejać ze sobą różne kawałki. Jak widać, w chwili obecnej, mam obsesję na punkcie tekstury z wykorzystaniem Art Stone i różnych metalowych dodatków. Uważam, że zawsze można je wszędzie wykorzystać i po prostu dobrze wyglądają. 

What I love the most about this season is its severity and its glow. This is the vibe I wanted to recreate in my new mixed media project. After a longer moment of struggle I was able to clean a small part of the table and actually glue something together. As you can see - I'm absolutely obsessed with Art Stone textures and metal embellishment at the moment. I'm sure I can fit them simply anywhere and I'm sure they will look just great.

No i moja kolejna obsesja - warstwy. Tym razem wykorzystałam sporo kawałków gałązek i liści z jednego z moich ulubionych zestawów od Sizzix - Mini Holiday Greens. Mam nadzieję, że Wam się spodoba. 

Layers are my other obsession. This time, I used a lot of paper twigs and leaves, from one of my favorite Sizzix die - Mini Holiday Greens. I hope you like it.

 
   
  
      
  

I really love...

Today, Finnabair announced her new ambassador team and I'm honored and so happy to say that I'm still a part of the team. The Ambassadors group is made up of some pretty amazing artists. You can check out the group HERE. 

There are always some constant elements both in my artworks and in the reality around me.

I have my favorite things that always inspire me and help to escape the ordinary.

1. Vintage books. Not just for reading. :) I love using books (mostly flea market finds) as bases of my artworks. I love their smell and textures, the beautiful old paper, vintage illustrations and that poetic old-fashioned language they're written in. They are brilliant when used as art journals!

2. Another flea market must for me are differrent kinds of metal bits and trinkets. I equally love all the "new" metal embellishements like Mechanicals.

3. I simply cannot create without stamps, especially those with writing and different kinds of sentiments.

4. In my life I like to surround myself with monochrome tones, I choose black, white and greys in my apartment and wardrobe but in my art I love reaching for the energy of vivid bright colors of inks and paints.

5. Finally, one more element that is always present and that is coffee. :) Nothing works better to age paper, make beautiful stains and splashes and create a unique vintage feel.

And this time I'd like to show you my latest project for Prima Marketing. I hope you like it.
