incorporates vivid pastels for a piece that bridges
realism and abstracts (page 74). And Tansy Hargan
takes fabric scraps and turns them into an abstract
spring landscape filled with amazing color and
texture (page 50).
Have you tried the latest art apps for tablets? Lisa
Thorpe shows how to take digital images you create
and transform them into physical collages and more
(page 62). And discover how to create an adorable
stuffie from a painting, using Karen O’Brien’s easy
mixed-media ideas for drawing whimsical faces
(page 56).
Talk about a packed issue—we’ve also got Barbara
Roth’s mixed-media drawing buffet techniques
(page 40), Jill McDowell’s charming painted flexagon
(page 22), and Becky Nunn’s method for creating
faux vintage pressed glass (page 30).
It’s going to be a busy spring, so let’s get started!
Warm regards,
Spotting trends in mixed-media art
is one of
the most fun aspects of my job. I love seeing what
people are discovering, what’s capturing their
attention—and finding out why. Trends are more
than just random fads; there’s usually something
interesting behind a shift toward one thing or
another. For the past year or so I’ve noticed that
many of you are discovering mixed-media abstract
art, in all its forms: as art journal page designs, in
collage, painting, and even textiles.
Abstract art is captivating and the process is intuitive,
and probably both of those things contribute to its
growing popularity. When a piece speaks to me, I think
about what it is I’m drawn to. But when it comes to
creating abstract art, I’m often confounded by where
to start. Without a realistic subject or focal point,
how does a piece evolve and come together? If you
find yourself with the same dilemma, or are simply
intrigued by mixed-media abstract art, this issue has
everything you need to get started, and to explore
innovative techniques and discover new materials.
Jodi Ohl lays out a great foundation for getting
started in abstracts, including basic design
principles and step-by-step instructions for creating
an abstract piece (page 44). After that, try Laly Mille’s
collage and paint techniques and create beautiful,
romantic abstract florals in an art journal (page 68).

printing method using an easy carving technique
