I am always on the lookout for new projects to keep my website fresh and interesting. Mixed media is going to be the new craft I teach myself. Browsing through Pinterest I came across mixed media canvases. It was love at first sight. I went on youtube and watched a few tutorials and decided to have a go. To make it easier to get started I picked my daughter’s recent wedding as a theme. The idea was to use elements from for wedding and wedding day to decorate the canvas.
Being a DIY and craft blogger I like to try new projects to keep my hobby interesting. The downfall to changing your type of projects is that you need to buy all new craft supplies, which in the case of mixed media is expensive. To do mixed media craft you need some suitable waxes, shimmer sprays and paints. Looking online for supplies I found the cost of these products so high that is was not viable for me to buy them when I only do a handful of each type of project. To avoid the high cost of the mixed media supplies I made my own form products I had at home.
