Altered brushes with video

Hello everyone!
I hope you all are good and healthy.
Staying at home pushed my buttons too. I want to create all the time. But there is always something to be done, clean, you all know the drill. So enjoying my creative time is mixed with other duties.
I saw an event happening on Facebook, hosted by Finnabair anf decided to join the ladies and create something for everyone staying at home.

Altering these little brushes wasn`t my first idea, but then I saw one of them and remembered how messy they look. And though I`m mixed media fan forever, I`m not a big fan of my dirty brushes.
Don`t get me wrong, I love colorful, beat up from use brushes. They are a perfrct example how much you use them and source of inspiration for me. But I also like to keep mine as clean and as organized as possible.
So the decision was made in a heartbeat. I`ll make them pretty and at the same time I`ll try to save the bristles, so I can use them again. And I think I`ll be able to. Will keep you posted about it. Or you can go to my You Tube channel and subscribe so you can see in future videos if I use them or not.
Tell me in comments below: How do you clean your brushes?

Altered hoop

Hello friends!

My friend Anat Weksler challenged me a few days ago and this is how this project came to life.

I glued some acetate on the back of embroidery hoop and then literally spilled inks on it.

Added fine gold glitter, before the ink dried, doodled around the stains and my background was ready. On the wooden part of the hoop I used crackle and paper paste and then after they dried well, some metallique paints and waxes finished my "canvas". The gold stars are made of paper clay and then covered in gold glitter. I made them back around Christmas, but I thought I can use them here as well. That was it. If you have any questions, do leave me a comment below and I`ll answer ASAP.

I`m leaving my challenge down, so feel free too use it as inspiration and I do challenge you, to create something. Now it`s your turn.

Hugs, Martina.

Square ATC`s - Silver is the new gold

Hello everyone!
I hope all of you are good and healthy.
In times like this I won`t say much. I won`t give you advice or anything.
My way of escaping all the negativity from media is creating. And as soon as I found myself at home I wanted to create a video for all of my followers here, on You Tube and Instagram.

I also wanted to create ATC`s since I haven`t made one in over a year. Which is a very long time.

The other reason was that I wached FB Live with Anastasia Elena showing her ATC collection and wanted to swap with her. So I jumped right of to the task and here I am.

Some close ups:

I have a long video tutorial, that now you can watch really from start to finsh.

I hope you do like my little, square pieces of me..

Здравейте!!

Този плик за паричен подарък почти го бях забравила, че не съм го споделила тук.

Сватбата винаги е повод за щастие и веселба. Но, трябват и парички, нали така... 😉

Ето още един вариант на моите пликове за пари.

Дано ви хареса!
