Canvas "Music" for the CCB January Crew Challenge

Hello everybody, a warm welcome to my blog!

This time I have a canvas to share with you. I made it for the Canvas Corp Brands Crew Challenge.

This is what we cooked up:

*Your inspiration is MUSIC
* Your project can be anything connected to music - make a instument, art journal, book cover, layout about your fav singer, or be inspired by a record cover. The imagination is your limits there.

*Use any technique/material you want but it must be 75% CCB products

Here is my submission:

For the story, that tells this canvas I have to go a little bit further to explain.

In my church community in Kochel am See we have a wonderful little church, which became 100 years old in 2014.

On christmas in 2013 the organ in the church broke down and we needed a new one - which is very expensive you can imagine. We collected donations - and, how exciting, last year we could buy a new organ! The inauguration was at the first Advent 2017, and Oh! How incredibly gorgeous the new organ sounds! 
If you want to see more pictures you can find them here.
The old organ was dismantled and we decided to sell the old organ pipes, the proceeds are for our church.
Well, I took some of them, having in mind to do something beautiful with them - and this is the result!

Here is what I did:

First I gathered some of the organ pipes, a picture from our little church and some of my CCB goodies (well, I didn´t use them all, but nearly).








I primed the organ pipes with white Gesso to get some grip for the paint. Then I took 

Glimmer Glaze Paint - Saffron and painted them several times until I was satisfied.  

After this I gave them a random coat with metalic wax and polished them.





I took a canvas, some old music sheets and one of the gorgeous Mixed Media Origins - Hoot .
I thought, I would use paper from the Achitextures paper pad, but I didn´t.



I tore the papers and glued them down onto the canvas using Matte Medium.

I added the distressed photo of our little church and glued it down too. When dry, I toned everything down with whit Gesso.

Through a stencil I added Texture Paste.

Then I colored the background with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists and Base Board Mist Paint Cardboard.

These GM I used:

Imperial Blue
Dragonfly
Jack Frost
Tattered Leather

With another stencil I added some more color. I sprayed GM Dragonfly and when dry I took DI Peacock feather for a crispier image.

I arranged my organ pipes and glued them down. The biggest one I secured with some wire additionally.

Now I mixed Art Stones and Mini Art Stones with Matte Medium and High Impact Paint Light Gold and Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam Turquoise and put it beside the pipes for more interest.













When everything was dry I added some colored flowers, some leaves, did some stamping, added some Gold here and there and dry brushed parts with white Gesso. At last I added some specks with white Gesso and I was done.

Now I hope you liked my "Music" Canvas!
Thank you for your visit today and don´t forget to have a look at the CCB blog to see what my teamies made for this challenge!

Travelling Art Journal, #2 - DT Project for Canvas Corp Brands

Hello dear visitors,

today I want to share my second entry in the Travelling Art Journal for Canvas Corp Brands.

As I told you last month, we have an exciting project going on at the CCB Creative Crew. We are sending our Art Journals on a travel :-). You can read more about it in my first post, where you will find a link to the in depth post at the CCB blog too.

This month I had the joy to make my entry in the wonderful Art Journal from my lovely team mate Shel C.

As you can see, I´m in a "Spring-mood" ;-).

I used many high impact paints to make my page and a new Tim Holtz stencil and the lovely bird stamps from Dina Wakley.

I made a little video, so have fun watching me creating!

Alittle close up:

This is the back of the page:

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope to see you again - no later than the 1st of May to my next pages in an Travelling Art Journal!

Easter Picture in Reverse Glass Painting - Osterbild mit Hinterglasmalerei

Hello all, a warm welcome to my blog! Nice to have you here.
Today I want to show you a little bit different project, I hope you like it.
Easter is near and spring peeks around the corner, so I wanted to create a light and happy picture for Canvas Corp Brands.
One easy and fun way to paint on glass with non glass paints is to use the reverse glass painting method!
Hallo zusammen, willkommen auf meinem Blog! Schön, dass ihr vorbei schaut.
Heute zeige ich euch ein etwas anderes Projekt, ich hoffe, es gefällt euch.
Ostern ist nah und ich wollte ein helles, freundliches Bild für Canvas Corp Brands gestalten. 
Eine einfache aber schöne Methode auf Glas ohne Glasmalfarben zu malen, ist die Hinterglasmalerei!

I´ll show you some step x step photos and if you want, you can watch my video as well.

Ich zeige euch ein paar Schritt für Schritt Photos und wenn ihr mögt, könnt ihr euch auch mein Video ansehen.

 
Clean and dry your glass, then stamp a scene with StazOn Jet Black. Let the stamped images dry completely!
Nehmt ein sauberes, trockenes Glas und stempelt mit StazOn Jet Black eine Szene. Lasst die Stempelmotive komplett trocknen!

Add a thin layer clear Gesso on top.
Gebt eine dünne Schicht Clear Gesso darüber.

Dab slightly with a dry wipe over the Gesso until it has nearly dried. You will get a beautiful milky surface. Take care to dry completely before you go to the next step!
Nun tupft mit einem Tüchlein über das Gesso, bis es fast trocken ist. Ihr bekommt eine milchige Oberfläche. Lasst alles wieder gut trocknen!

Now coloring fun begins. Put some drops of your paints on your craft mat or a piece of foil. Place your different colors side by side, DON´T mix them!
Jetzt kommt die Farbe ins Spiel. Gebt einige Tropfen Farbe auf eure Unterlage oder ein Stück Alufolie. Die Farben sollen nebeneinander plaziert werden, aber mische sie nicht!

Take a foam roller and roll two or three times over the colors.They won´t mix, only blend together.
Nun mit einem Schaumstoffroller zwei- dreimal über die Farben rollen. Sie mischen sich nicht vollständig, nur ein wenig - das gibt einen zauberhaften Effekt!

Now roll carefully over your surface. You can go criss cross, but don´t press down too hard or roll over too often, otherwise there is the risk to replace the Gesso!
Rollert nun vorsichtig über die Glasoberfläche. Du kannst kreuz und quer rollern, drücke aber nicht zu stark auf und rolle nicht zu oft über die Fläche, sonst könnte sich das Gesso ablösen!

Now you can add another colors. You don´t have to clean your foam roll, the mix of the colors will give a beautiful color blending.
Jetzt kann man weitere Farben dazu geben. Dazu muss man die Rolle nicht auswaschen, es gibt einen schönen Effekt, wenn sich die Farben ein wenig mischen.

When you turn your glass, you will have a light and shiny surface, underlay your glass with a white paper and put it back in the frame.
Wenn man das Glas nun umdreht, hat man eine zarte, glänzende Oberfläche. Am besten sieht es aus, wenn man das Bild weiß hinterlegt. Jetzt kann es zurück in den Rahmen.

I colored some styrofoam eggs and embellished them, added a twig - ready is your Easter picture!
Ich habe noch ein paar Styroporeier angemalt und verziert und mit einem Zweig ergänzt - Fertig ist die Osterdeko! 

I hope, you like my picture! 
Thank you for stopping by and Happy Easter!
 
Ich hoffe, mein Bild gefällt euch!
Vielen Dank für euren Besuch und Frohe Ostern!
