I love the look of mixed media art because it incorporates many different materials. For a person like me who can never decide what embellishments to use in a project, mixed media art is a great niche to get into. If you’re a bit scatterbrained like me, or you just like to use a variety of materials in your crafts, try mixed media art to express your creativity to its fullest.
Think of mixed media art like a salad of the crafting industry – it includes a little bit of everything. From buttons to scraps of paper and tin foil, mixed media art encourages you to combine several textures to make a delicious – or in this case beautiful – result. So how do you make mixed media art? That depends on the type of look you’re going for! Personally, I love to make mixed media journal covers and wall hangings.
Here are a few ideas to get you started and inspired.
Journal Covers and Projects
There are a lot of awesome journal covers and pages out there that utilize mixed media art. Depending on the vibe you want your creation to have, there are projects that use heaping amounts of modeling paste for texture, and others that simply layer bits and scraps together for a lighter, delicate look.
If you want a more edgy looking journal, try layering more rugged-shaped objects to a page. These make great wall hangings when they’re completed.
Here’s a quick step-by-step guide for making a journal wall hanging.
