Reuse

Reuse and reduce your ecological footprint. I think that is important but I also like the way those things we have laying around look when included into art work. Using packaging material is a great way to add texture and interest to artwork. The butterfly was cut from corrugated cardboard using the wizard embossing system. The background is made from a piece of screen and burlap. The text was printed on an old math book page, and some old washer made a great embellishment.

Cover of Altered Arts Magazine

My Snowflake book appears on this month’s cover of Altered Arts Magazine.
There are stepped out photos of the techniques I used in the article. My opalized fantasy film technique is used in the book. I’ll post the directions to that one soon.

Welcome

Welcome to Jeni’s Mixed Media Madness. I’m a mixed media artist My artwork is about texture and color; I produce work to draw the viewer into the piece, calling out to be touched and encouraging the viewer to interact with it in some way. I enjoy working with paints, inks, metal, trash (recycled treasures), stamps, photos, clay, fiber – ok, I guess I’ve never met an artistic medium I didn’t like.
