I got this idea from Sam on her YT channel, Kiss My Creative. This is the link to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ryn0eZ2VEn8" target="_blank">her video</a> about them and to her <a href="http://www.kissmycreativeart.com/" target="_blank">newly launched website</a>.<br />
I have created these similar wheels, mostly to use with my sister. We live in different towns but have been sharing and creating mixed media art together whenever we can.<br />
I have made five wheels to select media for you to use in creating you art. I seem to be only able to embed one - all turn into the same one when I insert more, so I will include the others as links.<br />

<br />
Feel free to complete things in any order and add any extra ideas.<br />
I hope you enjoy these ideas. Let me know if you use them. Please use #sistersartnz to share your creations on social media platforms.<br />
<br />
This is what we spun for our first challenge and our completed art, mine and then my sister's.<br />

Love their work and being inspired. I find looking at others' work keeps me working in different styles - maybe means I haven't found my own yet - just having fun creating.<br />

These Summer couplets seem to come easier to me - think the good weather makes us all feel better. Our holiday time has really begun, and although I still have some work do do and things to plan for the next year, there is a promisingly warm Summer break ahead.<br />
<br />
Thanks to<a href="http://thecraftbarnblog.blogspot.co.nz/2017/12/twelve-month-challenge.html" target="_blank"> The Craft Barn for this challenge</a> - it has been fun.<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone.<br />

My Summer page features die cut pohutakawa, which flowers around Christmas time and so is often referred to as the New Zealand Christmas tree. I used the snowflake die cut, but coloured it yellow and gold to reference the sun. Meri Kirihemete - Merry Christmas in Te Reo Maori.<br />

I do have the <b>videos for the last three months</b> so I will include those and images <b>below in this post.</b> I got out of the swing of posting and publishing videos after having the flu and taking weeks to recover. Thanks goodness that is gone now!<br />
<br />
This first one is <a href="http://thecraftbarnblog.blogspot.co.nz/2017/10/twelve-month-challenge20.html" target="_blank">The Craft Barn October challenge for The Months</a>.<br />

I have been creating two pages throughout the year, one for the Northern Hemisphere, as in the poem, and then writing my own couplet for the Southern Hemisphere. When I search for a pheasant, one of our native New Zealand birds, the weka, came up so I included that in my second page.<br />

It was fun creating with with one of my sisters who has just started to work with different media. As I only had a small supply of art supplies with me, it was challenging to find ways to use what I had.<br />
I completed a few ICAD's using what I had and then I moved on to the <a href="http://thecraftbarnblog.blogspot.co.nz/2017/07/twelve-month-challenge.html" target="_blank">July challenge for The Months by The Craft Barn.</a> I was a little annoyed when I realised I had let my 'Month' journal behind, especially as I had started preparing the backgrounds. So I started again, knowing I would have to stick in my page and complete my Southern Hemisphere page later - then I checked the CB blog and found I was a week ahead of myself!! So I have waited to post, having completed the Winter page at home.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
My mum had some great napkins with text on them, that I used as the background and then layer with white acrylic and Gelatos. The flowers where painted with watercolours and then detail added with black pen. I had also prepared the text at home - and left it there - but as I managed to acquire an old typewriter while I was away, I typed out the couplet from the poem.<br />

For the Winter page, I used a similar technique as I used in the song challenge a couple of months ago for<a href="http://rsgmutticreates.blogspot.co.nz/2017/05/i-cant-stand-rain.html" target="_blank"> I Can't Stand the Rain</a>. The window is sort of just sitting there, but I didn't want to lose my frost effect created with a white embossed stamp.<br />

I have been using the felt pen watercolour idea as backgrounds in work I do with kids at school and knew it would be a good basis for this page. I actually sprayed it with fixative before I did anything else on top.<br />
<br />
I was happy with the idea of the trees, using the doily as a stencil, but then wasn't too happy with them so pushed them right into the background. I must admit, on the video they didn't look so bad.<br />
I was brave and had my first attempt at writing the title on the page with my Tombow marker - then smudged it when adding another flower while filling the space where the trees were. Not minding my own handwriting so much on my work, except that it seems to be different for every verse!<br />
<br />
Please check out my video - still pretty new to recording and posting these so would love you to check them out :)<br />

I feel compelled to do this every month, especially as I made special journal for it and those of you who take part have commented on enjoyinbg seeing my take on both seasons. Thanks for that.<br />
<br />
I must admit, it is getting more challenging to think of rhymes going into winter. Even though we have reached the shortest day and it is quite gloomy outside today, many of our days here are still beautiful and sunny. Most of this week we had chilly, frosty mornings - and what comes after that?? Blue skies and sunshine!!<br />

I have been working on this spread (amidst writing school reports) and have not been that happy with it - but the time is up and this is what I have. I think it may look better in the photos - here's hoping.<br />
<br />
I was lucky enough to receive my new Paper Artsy Infusions via my Craft Barn voucher and my daughter visiting her brother in London, then bringing them back for me. I really wanted to use them this month but as I'm still learning, it may just be a hot mess. Check out my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rsgmutti/" target="_blank">Instagram </a>#ICAD2017 Days 2, 5, & 7 for what I think is more successful.

I used brighter Infusion colours for Summer (Magenta & Slime) and the darker ones for Winter (Rusty Car & Olive Tree) I had been trying out an Elegant Writer pen and has some success on card, but didn't want to block out the background totally, so gave it a go on tissue. Not so great - I used lots of white and some pink and violet Sakura gellyroll pens to try to bring out the flowers. The winter side has a very sketchy image of my house [because that's my best drawing :)], some grunged up tape and a bit of stamping on both side also.<br />

I chose to focus on the colours, using a geli print and then layer with golden Payne's grey, golden high flow and Paper Artsy Infusion 'In the Navy'. Waiting for the gold acrylic was too much for me so the heat gun got very close! I knew I would like the bubbling that happened - I think it's my favourite part.</div>

This is great fun but takes time everyday - and I' still catching up as I didn't manage to start right on the first day. I've also been making videos which of course takes extra time. I'm getting better at the filming and have a reasonably ok setup with a small GoPro type camera.<br />
So realising it is time to have my entry for <a href="http://thecraftbarnblog.blogspot.co.nz/2017/05/song-title-challenge.html" target="_blank">The Craft Barn Song Challenge</a> ready, I have made this ICAD as my entry for this.<br />
<br />
I have been posting my ICAD's on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rsgmutti/" target="_blank">Intagram</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR0YerkMJ76zbkMVDnB51oRtio9K3dP-Q" target="_blank">YouTube</a>.<br />

<br />
The theme was - everything comes 'round so the idea was to include round stamps and elements. I first stamps with the VLV stamp, Doodle Circle ( 19823) I really must make a list of my VLV stamps as I have to look them up on my order every time!!<br />
I was very excited to try my new Paper Artsy Infusion which my daughter just brought back for me from the UK. I used In the Navy and Sleight Blue which are both colours in the newer ranger.. I then added some stamping with script and compass stamps - which lead to the word 'Here'.<br />
I also added some doodling, some of which I wasn't very happy and so tried to cover with gesso. Turned out it smudged - which I did like! I finished it off with some thread, stick down with gessoed, circle drywall tape.<br />

I'm not really a drawer (yet!) so was grabbed the lamb napkins I found in my local dollar store knowing I could use them for this challenge.<br />
<br />

I used Golden fluid acrylics in gold green and light umber for the background, applying it with an old bank card as this gives more texture. As the background was quite dark, I found it showed through when I glued on the lambs from the napkin, so had to add another layer. I thought I had been quite careful with the placement, but seem to have some ghosting - not a problem really. I then went over the lambs with white Posca pen to make them whiter and also used a couple of flowers from the napkin.<br />

Now for my Southern Hemisphere page. I had been to Wellington with a school trip in the second week of May and these are the amazing blue skies we encountered. This is actually a combination of two photos taken at the waterfront. The top one shows The Michael Fowler Centre and pole sculptures on the 'Taniwha Bridge', with another sculpture and cafes in the lower photo. I really didn't want mess with them or cover them up so all I did was add some glaze and glass bead gel to the top image and some silver foil and gel markers to the sail-like roofs in the bottom image. While my couplet about May reflects the amazing day we had, sadly I will have to admit that during the last two weeks of May, it has done nothing but rain!! Still we are lucky here, as we really do see the sun, and skies like this all year.<br />

I hadn't heard the term 'assemblages' before not having studied art but being more of a hobby artist. But now I've learnt this term it makes so much sense and I have seen ideas in places since, and, realised I've created things like this without realising it!<br />
<br />
I loved the little robot guys on the <a href="http://blog.paperartsy.co.uk/2017/05/2017-8-assemblages-challenge.html" target="_blank">Paper Arty Challenge </a>page by <a href="http://redhardwick.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Jen Hardwick</a> and her blog has so many fun and inspiring ideas. Makes you want to make art with anything and everything!<br />
<br />
So to my entry for the challenge. When we have our Pet Day at the school where I work, the staff always have challenge to create something for the students to view and maybe guess whose piece of art it is or they like the best. Last time we did this the theme as pet rocks. I had lots of ideas - went to the river for rocks, bought some small stones and glass pebbles - but nothing was coming together. At the very last minute/hour (as often happens with theses challenges) I came up with this idea.<br />
<br />
Who's the Teachers Pet? I made enough simple characters for everyone in the class, the teacher (me) and then the hidden actual teacher's pet under the table. I loved this creation and keep it in my room.<br />
It was fun seeing the kids guessing which rock was them. Some of them had a fair idea from the speech bubbles above the 'students' as some of these are quotes from the kids.<br />

I'm always excited when I see the <a href="http://blog.paperartsy.co.uk/2017/04/2017-7-found-objects-challenge.html" target="_blank">Paper Artsy Challenge - this time it was Found Objects </a>- but somehow it has been getting away from me lately and the ideas have either not come or the time has just whizzed by.<br />
I could have just stamped with tubes or plants - but feel like I done that for other challenges so waited for the inspiration to come.<br />
<br />
Then in the garden I pulled off stalks that were left from when rhubarb had gone to seed. I never actually seen anything like this. The flowers were cut off and what was left had dried and were hollow. I thought I could use these to emulate the hangings by <a href="http://diy.allwomenstalk.com/heres-how-to-make-something-fabulous-out-of-the-sea-glass-you-collected-on-your-beach-vacay" target="_blank">Eliza Martinez.</a><br />
<br />
I incorporated this with a saying I had found this week, then some lichen, calico, stitching, stamping, paint, wire, string and coloured cord.<br />

I had the idea to create the rain on acetate using Diamond Glaze, so got that done and set it aside for a few days to make sure it was properly dry.<br />
I have been trying to use more layers and not be so concerned about covering them up.<br />
I started with a layer of tissue then added gesso, some stenciling, ink drips and some postage stamps. Once the raindrops had dried I decided on my window design. I used some crayons to create the timber effect and then coloured with acrylic paints. The flowers and leaves were punch from gelli prints, arranged on the window box which was then stuck to the window frame. This was then stuck on with a double layer of foam tape.<br />
So normally IĀ“m making sure I have no shadows when taking photos, but this time I wanted them to show the full effect.<br />
I must say, IĀ“m very happy how this turned out.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The challenge as usual involves using at least one VLV stamp and to be inspired by the prompts and image given. This month they prompts were:<span id="docs-internal-guid-b8ae60a9-be15-5c49-361d-b56e6c592e85"><span style="color: #222222; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">words like</span><span style="color: #222222; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-style: italic; white-space: pre-wrap;">SPRING! flowers, doodles, buds, whimsical, patterns, checkerboard, stars, wings, Mary Vogel Lozinak, banners, green, teal, white, black. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I first gessoed a piece of card and then thought there was too much gesso on the card and so placed another piece of card on top to remove some. This left an interesting speckled effect which I really liked and so decided to use this. I applying watercolour which has a shimmery mica type effect, knowing that the gesso would create a resist. The colours are very subtle but just as I wanted.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I have used images and text from Mary Vogel Lozinak Plate 1383 and Writing Circles Background, which I turned into flowers. All these were stamped on tissue and then stuck onto the image with matt medium.</span></span></div>

One, I knew this could fit for the <a href="http://blog.paperartsy.co.uk/2017/04/2017-6-resin-and-utee-challenge.html" target="_blank">Paper Artsy Challenge</a> and when I saw the hearts by<a href="http://tammytutterow.com/2013/05/tuesday-tutorials-faux-fused-glass-pendants/" target="_blank"> Tammy Tuttrow</a>, I thought I could make a little charm for my daughter to take with her on her trip to Europe. Sadly things did not go as planned. I'll have to keep working on my original ideas later.<br />
<br />
Maybe I should have tried the <a href="https://thatgirlwhonevertalks.wordpress.com/2015/05/31/that-girl-who-made-a-fruit-fossil-day-one/" target="_blank">kiwifruit</a>! Or the <a href="https://www.resinobsession.com/resin-tutorials/how-to-make-resin-coasters" target="_blank">coasters</a> - the leaves remind me of mint leaf lollies - ask Leandra, she'll know what I mean!<br />
<br />
Anyway, the problem was (and still is) that the beaded bracelet I bought my daughter when I visited the UK a couple of years ago broke and while we still have the main 'xo' (kiss & hug) charm, the original beads were lost and after re-threading it at least three times, everything I use tarnishes. So I decided to make a temporary 'charm' for her trip. I had some resin which I had bought quite some time ago but have never been brave enough to try. However, when I finally went to do this piece, I found it was white opaque resin and not clear like I thought.<br />

So as an alternative I thought I would use Judkins Diamond Glaze. I had laser engraved the heart, with the 'xox' and set about applying the glaze. So thought it should have set and then went and put my finger in it - not set!! So then I had to add so much more glaze that it didn't set before my daughter flew out. I was away for a few days, seeing her off and not back home in time to sort another project. So another layer of glaze was added and I think it will be ok in the end - I'm just not going to touch it for about 2 weeks!<br />
So my daughter has arrived in France and tonight I have been messaging her and seeing images of her trip up the cable car at Chamonix Mont Blanc - pretty amazing. She'll be in the UK next week and may find she will have some parcels of craft supplies arriving in the post to bring home for me!<br />

<br />
The April challenge was to include primroses or daisies as well as the lines of the poem.<br />
As usual I have created my Southern Hemisphere version of the page a part of my journal spread.<br />

I was going to be away from home for a few days and so quickly laid down some paint for my backgrounds, keeping them similar but using Golden High Flow acrylic in silver to highlight the Spring side and gold for the Autumn side. I punched some shapes from patterned paper, with the primrose/daisy shapes coming from some scraps of geli prints. The scraps left were used to stencil some flowers. I also coloured a piece of watercolour paper so I could create the acorn.<br />
<br />
So once I went to create the pages, I stuck on some pieces of gold patterned tissue, then drew and cut out the acorn. I also had some paintings of some hyacinths from some watercolour play and these seemed to fit well. Once I had placed and glued all the images, I chose matching Inktense pencils to outline them.<br />

I keep calling the piece 'Mushroom' but I thinks it's really a toadstool! These are not a common occurrence for us, but with the very damp weather we have had lately, there have been many different types of fungi appearing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I thought I could work with this, recolour it digitally and then apply some mixed media techniques. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to overlay different colours and chose these from the stones in the mood board and printed them on tracing paper.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I also printed the whole image in grayscale, except the mushroom. which I left yellow.<br />
I ended up with one very bright side and a complete contrast on the other side, just broken by the more pastel coloured small mushrooms.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bright side has different media added - crackle paste and glass bead medium.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The dull side has some masking tape added as a feature.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The background colour was taken from the strip of purple which appeared in the image when it was recoloured.<br />

I have worked on this spread for the <a href="http://blog.paperartsy.co.uk/2017/03/2017-5-blue-and-ochre-challenge.html" target="_blank">Paper Artsy Challenge - Blue and Ochre.</a><br />
The blog post entry included some embroidered flowers by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/people/lovemaude" target="_blank">Love Maude</a>, which reminded me of flowers I made years ago to make a baby's matinee jacket. I was still a teenager at school and I made dozens of white daisies to make this jacket for my first niece. I didn't have the tool to make them but found a way to improvise and then coloured the flowers with paint. I then found another tutorial for the smaller flower, made by wrapping yarn around a pencil.<br />

This is a journal I have repurposed and begun by sticking in paper napkins.<br />
<br />
As always there are so many inspiring imageson the PA blog. This fabric from<a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/people/ikoplus" target="_blank"> IkoPlus</a>is beautiful and would make a lovely background for a page:<br />

I started playing on the double page spread but decided to finish just one side at present. I plan to work on the other side during the next week. I want them to be different, but also work together.<br />

<br />
I added text paper and them gesso over the napkin. The 'circle' paper is scrapbooking paper which had a faint pattern on it, which I darkened up with gel pen. The bottem embellishment was something I had made some time ago and seemed to fit well on this page.<br />

<br />
I had been thinking about what path to take and then watched this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAe2N12-NI4" target="_blank">video by Marrmi Small Art</a> and thought I would give this a go. I chose similar colours to those in the video, one, because I liked them, but also, because I had several paints in tones from light to dark that would work together. It was simple and quick but I was very happy with the outcome worked well for this challenge.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBmQ8LZrD35lMhaemmAPXQvA9cdHY8hyn3Cmq69yjZMacHurGjSu2KXy6JvbDUlwo6jWpcUdkUN-3NIR371GNO3bxrSePMv7DbXytUAY5KVs9GmoqonacOhs_wlDpGGddea990KV78D5I/s400/Mood+Board+March.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I had purchased a set of small canvases, thinking I would like t experiment sewing directly onto them with my sewing machine. It didn't happen this time and not sure if it will work - so that's still a work (idea) in progress.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I don't use canvases much, mainly because I'm not sure what I would do with them - at least things are contained and manageable in a journal. Thought I'd give it a go this time - who will the lucky recipient be? - haha!<br />
<br />
My inspiration came from the sculpture, stones and lights. Still thinking about that number 8, so maybe soemthing else will come to me yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now... I'm trying to film some of my work, but not really in the habit of doing so - so the camera just wasn't turned on sometimes because I forgot, and then at the end my phone decided to turn off! Because of this, not everything is in the video - or I just pretended I was doing it!! Here's what I did manage to capture and the stills.</div>
