   Here are some awesome inspirational examples

 worked up by the Project 52 Team and our

Guest Designer "Monica Downing"

Bio.  My name is Monica Downing...aka Madzie. I am 45 years young, married with 2 kids and our puppy Leo. I relocated my family from California to Virginia 5 years ago. I work full time in commercial lending and in my spare time I do everything I can to create and learn more about art and step further outside of my box.

I have been scrapbooking for about 3 years but just recently got introduced to mixed media. Project 52 has had a profound impact on my art.  Since becoming a "Bad Girl" I have learned so much and tried so many things I would otherwise  had no idea how to approach. I am so flattered to have been chosen by this elite group of artists to be a guest designer this month.

I have always dreamed of going to Paris and seeing the Eiffel Tower, so I chose it as my piece of architecture for this project. I wanted to create a romantic looking piece of Art Money because I think Paris must be the most romantic place to go and also because it is so close to Valentines Day.

 

Supplies:
~Heavy Card Stock
~Modge Podge
~Masking Tape
~Muslin
~Gesso
~Border Punches
~Floral Fabric
~Zip Dry Glue

Tips For Creating This At Home:

•  I cut a piece of heavy card stock to the required size. Sponge brushed modge podge onto the card stock and placed a piece of muslin on top of that. When it dried I trimmed the muslin with pinking sheers.
• I taped the sticky sides of the masking tape together to make a piece of paper. I then watered down my Gesso a little and applied it to the masking tape paper.
• I printed out the picture of the Eiffel Tower onto the masking tape paper.
• I made one layer of the lace border from the unused part of the of the Eiffel Tower print and a border punch.
• The other lace border was made using another piece of masking tape paper painted with Gesso, and a different border punch.
• I layered torn strips from an antique book page for the right border
• I cut 3 different sized heart shapes from fabric and muslin, and also a rose cluster, that were used in the corners. The Paris button was cut from a piece of patterned paper.
• I printed the serial number, country and year, my name and the www.artmoney.org address onto muslin.
• Once I had created all of the elements needed, I started layering until I achieved the look I wanted.

• Then I added the texture paste through some star sequin waste.
• Then I stamped the images with stazon ink

KATIE TURNER: "the city & i"

Supply list:

~bristol board

~anthropologie catalog

~ photographs

~ kraft paper

~ masking tape

~ heart punch

~ ink pen

Tips for recreating this at home;

Find an interesting background from a magazine/catalog. try to look for ones that are out of focus; I collaged over the original, focused subject matter to create my own artwork. The quote is also from an anthropologie catalog -- I just wrote it out by hand.
Use photographs that you have had laying around for a while / not sure what to do with -- you may be surprised at how much they inspire you!
Repeating elements (in my case, the kraft paper hearts, masking tape, lions, and neutral color scheme) add a cohesiveness to your collage, especially helpful if it is composed of various bits and pieces.
have fun!

"Endurance"

 

the back of your Money should look similar to this

I used packing tape to transfer images of buildings I photographed in China a couple of years ago. I like this transfer method for this project because it keeps the images

thin and flat. I then modge podged the 'hornet nest' material I picked up after a storm last year. I figure this way I have 2 of the oldest types of architecture covered.

My attempt at Chinese writing symbol represents 'endurance'.

Materials;

~Packing Tape

~Gesso-colored with MM paints

~Stamp

~Inks

~Copic Markers

~150 lb. metallic paper

 

TIP: Hornets nest is very fragile, work carefully and dry fit, once its down you will   not be able to move it.
