Mixed Media Ideas

We had a fantastic mixed media workshop last night.  I showed the basics of decoupage then let the students find things from my stash and they went to town decorating wood boxes.  They are all so unique!

Mixed Media Workshop

As I am getting ready to teach a mixed media workshop tonight, I realize that I've been creating mixed media for years but I never called it that.  When I was a designer on the Aleene's Creative LivingTelevision Show I was assigned a particular product to use in my project.  I would make a project but always added several elements or layers to it to make it interesting. Whether it's called crafting or mixed media it's fun to be creative and add your own twist to any project.  I've told the students tonight there are no rules so I'm excited to see what they create from the items in the treasure chest they get to pick from...pictures later tonight or tomorrow of their creations. Can't wait!
