ReplyDeleteI mix embroidery with photos, text, found objects and paint.
ReplyDeleteI love being inspired to create something because of a quote I have read.
I like the mixing of your media.
Love your images and mixed media. I'm just not that creative but I like textiles and wool and stitches and stuff. I would love one of your little notebooks. x
ReplyDeleteI've always loved filling notebooks with words, stories and recordings of special happenings.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are so magical - I tried to pick favourite but couldn't possibly!
Gorgeous images!
ReplyDeleteI did a course this summer in mixed media and I think I used just about everything! transfers, ink, watercolour, collage, rubbings, crayon, beads,etc! Layering was a learning experience although I do love collage anyway.
Absolutely love your heart notebook (I collect hearts)! What a great giveaway!
I would so love one of your notebooks... so much has happened since I received your book and thought that I would be able to follow along... join in... participate....your notebook is just what I need!
ReplyDeleteAdding photos to collage is my fav
ReplyDeleteI promise :D
ReplyDeletegreat images!!! please count me in!
ReplyDeleteOoh! I would love to win! I adore journals.
ReplyDeleteoh, and I'm doing a give-a-way on my blog as well! Maybe you'd like to join in?

Your image of the little girl is strongly powerful and brings Grief knocking...an old, old friend of mine. Poignant and melancholy.
ReplyDeleteI love your notebooks! And I would fill it with beautiful words and reflections about my life :-)
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful!
Your pictures are gorgeous! I'd love to win one of your beautiful notebooks! I promise to use it well. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a little notebook that you have made. I would promise to use it for something special. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love those photos! Is there a rubber stamp photoshop tool?
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'd love to win one of those beautiful notebooks! Yes, I'd definitely use it!
I love your little notebooks... I keep saying I am going to break out my pens, inks, stamps and bits of paper to make little notebooks for keeping sermon notes. I love taking notes in both Sunday school and church services. Random thoughts of inspiration to reflect upon!!
ReplyDeleteI have little notebooks scattered throughout the house filled with thoughts and inspirational quotations. Now that I have fallen in love with the Zutter(Thank you Shona) they are Much more personal. Your little book is lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour images are stunning. I love to see the written word scribbled across a photo, especially in the way you have here with a wonderful meadow. The purple colors in these photos is so inspireing, being my favorite color. The butterflies, oh the butterflies. I love them. I have been having computer problems and I'm so afraid of loosing all of my links to my favorite places in blogland. One of your little notebooks would be perfect for recording the wonderful blogs I visit and why I love visiting them. What touchs me, what inspires me at each place. Yes, I promise to use the notebook if I win.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful artwork! Thanks or the chance to enter your little notebook giveaway.
ReplyDeleteLovely work, You certainly have a an eye for the photographs.
ReplyDeleteI am fairly new to the mixed media things. In a way before I started with artsy things, I would paint on the walls of our house and do tile work, murals things like that. Now nothing is off limits LOL
I have always been a scribbler of words and have many pages of thoughts and feelings.
Some make it to my pages and wall hangings. Most just wait in my journals for my children to read one day.
I love little notebooks like this and have them tucked everywhere. They are great for phone numbers, ideas, note to self. My only trouble I can't remember which one I wrote what I am looking for in.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Oh your little pieces are alwasy so pretty. I love them.
ReplyDeleteNotebooks are my favourite thing, I love pulling out a well decorated one or one that I have covered in fabric whenever I need to write something down.
I love the juxtaposition of the photo images. I love the idea of photographing food. So beautiful, healthy, and inspiring!
ReplyDeleteNot only do I mix my paintings with my poems, bt I also mix my poems with my paintings!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! I try and do mixed media work whenever I can! Your ideas will be an inspiration to me to find that time!
ReplyDeleteDear Shona, I love how you mix your media..it IS more powerful! But I especially love when you add your poems. Wow--they are perfect along side the photography and graphic art.
ReplyDeleteIf I had the little notebook..I'd write about loving my hubby--my lesson for this summer...or maybe about grandbabies...I'm addicted!...or maybe about boys becoming men..it's hard to believe it's all happening so fast. I feel my heart will burst when I watch Jacob becoming the man that Andrew has become too. How I wish I could spare him the heavy weight that fatherhood sometimes brings..
Thanks so much for visiting while I've been scrambling! We are off to Dallas for one last estate trip (I hope.)
Love,
Donna @ Comin' Home
PS. To answer your question, I mix music with my poems. :o) And Fabric with my art. And now writing with photography. I think I'm getting a wee bit better at that! Thanks to you. :o)
Shona, those altered images are so lovely. Your work always has such a dreamy quality about it, which I just love. Think there's a daydreamer hiding away inside of me somewhere that's woken by your art!
ReplyDeleteIf I won I'd use this notebook to visualise and try and bring some of those daydreams to life :)
lovely photos, Shona. how to i mix my media? i find that i'm drawn to just about anything creative, so i think therein lies my challenge. while i don't necessarily try to mix too much into one thing, i do try to mix too much into my studio, creating one large mess. :-) i do mix my jewelry and photography by creating pendants out of miniture versions of my photos.
ReplyDeleteOhh... I love these mixed media examples. They are gorgeous! Your little notebook is perfect for all those special notes. Great giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteYou have great talent. I would love to use your little booklet!
ReplyDeleteYour work is beautiful and your creativity seems limitless! Me... not so creative.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. Please count me in.
Cheers, jj
Hi Shona
ReplyDeleteYou continue to inspire me. I am just revisiting your book and working on some collage projects. I often wonder how you fit it in with children but it inspires me to find time too.
I am not an artist so I dont know anything about mixing techniques. But I love arts. just in two days I am going to visit alphons mucha exposition in czech republic. I love your notebooks and I would use it only for very special notes.:-) thanks
