Aleksandra

My name is Aleksandra. I live with my loving husband and my three wonderful children in a small, beautiful European country Slovenia. My art is one of the major parts of my life and has turned from my hobby into my job that I love. I can not imagine my day without crafting. I love papers, mixed media supplies, flowers and of course chipboards. I am color enthusiast. My greatest passion is making off the page projects, mixed media altered art, exploding boxes with miniature “worlds” inside. Sometimes overflow of my ideas keeps me awake at night. ? I hope you can find some inspiration in my work.

“Leap of Faith” Dreamcatcher for Finnabair

One of my favourites from the amazing selection of gorgeous Prima-Finnabair products is definitely resist canvas. It gives such exciting opportunities to play with. So, I decided to use it today for the background in making a beautiful soft vintage Dreamcatcher. I dressed it into gorgeous combination of blue and gold-brown colors. I love making Dreamcatchers lately. I love the idea of letting yourself go, dream big and being excited for your Dreams to come true.  

There is also a video tutorial on my youtube channel so you can see how I created this piece and maybe follow along some steps.

I hope you liked my inspiration and it gives you some fresh ideas for your creative hours.

Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely day!
Hugs, Aleksandra

Find Joy in the ordinary day and open doors to new adventures

I hope you are spending your first September days as lovely as possible. With the start of September here in Slovenia school also started after two months long summer vacations. My three kiddos went back to 5th, 3rd and 2nd grade of 9 year long elementary school. It’s been a busy and quite stressfull week as we are all trying to again get used of all the morning and daily routins and obligations that come with it. 
But as always there is some excitement in the air as they are stepping on a new journey, opening some new doors in their lives. I tried to encourage them and offer them some advices as mothers usually do and of the most important ones was to embrace the journey and to rejoice over the small things that happen to them on this journey. So this was also my inspiration for today’s post with gorgeous 49 and Market products.

I used the background from Serendipitous collection, paper called “After the rain”. I added some white crackle texture paste through my stencil with a crackle pattern. I then added a photo of a door, which I got from an online free stock photo platform. I created a composition arround my photo using lots of laser cut “Serendipitous” embellishments, 49 and Market flowers and also some lovely Dusty Attic chipboards and some resin and metal embellishments. At the end I added some Art stones and Mini art stones and some splatters with diluted white acrylic color for the finishing touch. I love the outcome and I hope you’ll like it too and it inspires you to create something beautiful on your own today. 

Here are 49 and Market products that I used for my today’s project:

– Serendipitous 12×12 collection pack,

– Vintage shades

– Ecru Blossoms flowers,

– Garden seeds

– Bluebell flowers,

– Archival board 6×6 – Memory captured,

– Archival board 6×6 – Timeless.

Thank you for taking time to stop by. I wish you some beautiful days ahead and see you soon with some more inspiration.

Enjoy your day! Hugs, Aleksandra
