I am the author of Mixed Media Art: Living Your Passion --a best-seller on Amazon for $2.99. In this ebook, you can learn about myriad creative projects and where to get images and materials for your art.
I am a gallery artist and love teaching others about mixed media projects that they can make easily. While this next project is time-consuming, I think it is so special that it is worth the time spent.
I painted a baby shoe and then, sprinkled glitter over the entire surface. Burlap and lace were tucked inside and then a ribbon of curly seam binding and a mulberry paper rose gave it just the right amount of shabby goodness.
But, today when I got an order that needed to be personalized, I used little beads to spell the precious baby's name....But, this wasn't my idea...It was my good friend Linda's from Random Creativity! Go HERE to take a look at the fabulous shoes she made!
Mackenzie's grandparents' names were put on the back so that she will have it as a keepsake her whole life~and a personalized snowflake completes the Christmas theme.I hope you have fun making one for a little bundle of joy who is special in your own life!
