Be Fearless : Mixed Media Wall Art

~ Sathya ~ 10 Comments
Hi Friends,

Good day! Back again today with a Mixed media work.

” Be Fearless in the Pursuit of what sets your Soul on Fire. “

Attempted to implement one of my fave quote with my most fave Chipboard, which is actually a negative of a beautiful Heart chipboard.

  • Used 5×5″ Kraft board for the base. 
  • Textured base are created by adhering cloth on kraftboard.
  • Used the negative of the Gorgeous Heart chipboard from Dusty attic. 
  • Used various sprays and Prima waxes.
  • Added those golden glitter balls for the minimal accent touches over the beautiful textures on the foldings.
  • Sentiment is from TH tiled alphabets, which were UTEE clear heat embossed and added.
Hope you like this!

Hi Friends!

Today am sharing a new digital image coloring, which is a special edition by Whimsy Stamps. This is my first stamp of this brand in my stash.

Last month joined Kit and Clowder, to nurture my coloring interest. Felt to improvise with a right dose of Amazing guidance.

Alyce Keegan, owner of this Online coloring Classes. Her guidance is such amazing and it made me to shed off my coloring inhibitions. This is my first ever image to color other than Florals.

Have shared WIP shots in my instagram and FB. Sharing there to record in my blog too 🙂

End of first two hours 🙂

End of next 2 hours:

Final 3 hours

Yup…that’s the pace at which i colored. 5×7″ size image…Colored using my new Prisma colored pencils. Total 7 hours, to build color by color, layer by layer and to flatten the final layers. Worth the efforts. I love the way the image pops up here…

Hope to laminate this or to make a winter wishes card!

Just don’t doubt your capabilities…Just dive in to find your interest and nurture it rightly. It takes you to the way you need to be 🙂

Happy to inspire the souls out there…

Happy Coloring 🙂

Hugs xo

Handlettered quotes + Watercolor florals – Trio Series1

~ Sathya ~ 2 Comments

Hi Friends!

During my June end to August Vacation at India, squeezed a lot of ME time amidst of my Family business and office works, and practiced Handlettering and Watercoloring florals.

Must say, every day i look forward for the evening time, to let my soul speak.

My little one would accompany me by smooshing his paint palette on his drawing book 🙂

And most of all, my dad would sit and watch patiently how we both do!!

Gonna share 3 projects per post 🙂

Hope you all like it!!

You are Amazing!!
