I’m always on the lookout for fresh, exciting projects to keep my website engaging, and this time I decided to dive into the world of mixed media art. After discovering some stunning mixed-media canvases on Pinterest, I was immediately inspired. I watched a few tutorials on YouTube and decided to give it a go, with my daughter’s recent wedding as the perfect theme. The idea was to incorporate elements from her special day into the canvas, creating a unique and personal keepsake.
I was scrolling through Pinterest one day when I stumbled upon some incredible mixed-media art projects. Instantly, I thought to myself, this is something I want to try. But after checking prices online and in-store, I was shocked by how expensive the supplies were.
Since I wasn’t sure if it was something I’d be good at, or even enjoy, I didn’t want to invest a heap of money in materials I might only use once. So, rather than researching the exact ingredients in each product, I simply looked around my craft stash and tried to recreate the supplies myself using what I already had on hand to make my own mixed media supplies.
