Creative Painting & Beyond Review and Giveaway
Creativity is something that I have discovered more as I have gotten older. I always leaned towards the creative in that I love to color as a kid, and I always wanted a full color pen set. As I got older I began to scrapbook, and I was able to use the stickers and papers that I had been collecting in the years prior.
I am always looking for new was to use my craft items to create new pieces of art. When I received for review and giveaway a copy of Creative Painting & Beyond: Inspiring Tips, Techniques and Ideas for Creating Whimsical Art in Acrylic, Watercolor, Gold Leaf, and More by Alix Adams and Chelsea Foy I knew that I would be able to spread my creative wings.

Creative Painting & Beyond: Inspiring Tips, Techniques and Ideas for Creating Whimsical Art in Acrylic, Watercolor, Gold Leaf, and More by Alix Adams and Chelsea Foy is a 144 page book with over 35 projects. Each projects comes with full color step by step instructions, and a full color photos to help guide in the creation of the project.
This books has projects from three artists with each being one being a distinctly different set of projects. The first artist – Chelsea Foy’s projects are simple projects the range from a wall hanging to a gold-leaf clock. The second artist – Gabri Joy Kirkendall’s projects are more on the water coloring side, showcasing ways to use watercolor on a variety of projects. The third artist – Alix Adams projects range from a painted pillow, painted cutting board and Painted Burlap Place Mats.
My favorite project in this book was by the first artist, Chelsea Foy, the Painted Sweater. I often see solid color shirts on clearance at my local mass retail store, and always wonder if I could add some flair to them. There was a simplicity and an ease, that makes me want to redo all my solid color shirts with a template, freezer paper and fabric paint. The basic idea is that you cut your template out of freezer paper and with a high heat iron, temporarily adhere to the fabric. Once the template is in place, apply the paint and let it dry. Once dried what results is a unique one of a kind apparel.

Hmm, I guess I did crafts at home starting when my boys were born. I would make things for their rooms, I painted their walls and made craft gifts for their teachers.
I’ve been making stuff since as long as I can remember. My favorite was always Arts and Crafts at summer camp.
I have been looking for a book just like this!!
A plastic canvas tissue box.
I have no idea. I do know that my dad has a little homemade book about dad that my mom helped me make when I was too young to even be able to write the words.
5 and I made a potholder
I paint a rock.
I can remember being 8 and at the time I was drawing horses and painting them, then landscapes with flowers.
I’ve been crafting for as long as I can remember. My mom and grandmother were both crafters and taught me how to sew, paint, etc. I’m forever grateful to them!
I was 6 make a hand painting
I started crafting in my early teens with my mother. We made a lot of different things.
I believe I was 5 when I began crafting. Ive always been good at making and painting things so it was always fun. I still do it now.
We took a craft class with our mom as small kids and we would paint and cake decorate too.
I can’t remember not crafting. I do needlework, drawing, clay, jewelry, painting, etc.
I began crafting when I was very young. We did lots of paper crafting and pottery.
Will love this
hmm we did lots of origami when we were kids
I have been crafting for as long as I can remember. Play-Doh, Clay, Paint, Yarn, I played with it all!
