Vintage Tape

Why I didn't thought about this before? Not to long ago Tim Holtz came out with a product that is from idea-ology which is vintage tape. I thought it was genius, but then he said that for a while now people has been doing their own vintage tape, so off I went and did some research and to my surprise this was easier than what I've thought. 

I'm lucky though to have Ranger products that I own from Tim Holtz collection and alcohol inks are probably one of the things I've last acquire from Ranger Inks and they definitely don't dissapoint. All you need to make this wonderful idea is transparent adhesive tape, some sort of celofan to add the tape to it, a brownish alcohol ink color and some sort of blending tool. So they are easy said than done, I know for people that have alcohol inks this is a breeze but maybe if you are new to the product then you need to watch a video on how to use alcohol inks and then you venture.
 
Do you use alcohol inks for your projects? Let me know in the comment section it would be nice what are your ideas and projects with this medium.

Mixed Media Art Journal

Well, I finally started a Mixed Media Art Journal recently. I've been wanting to do this for quite a while but it has taken some time cause I've been gathering some material that I didn't have to create this project. But after hard work and patience I got some cool things, not the best though but art material that will help me create my art. I want to thank all the people that have help me and donate money to keep me going with my Art projects they know who they are. Mixed media has been one of those things that I've always liked, when I was at Art school people was more concentrated on doing perfection while I was going wild and there is when I've realized that I love to worked with Mixed Media Art. Unfortunately I don't have any of the things I did in the past, long story but I'm here now to show you what I'm capable of with my mind and hands.
