I have been inspired by the work of Vivian Keh (aka Contadina K). I find that her blend of scrapbooking (crafting) and art, suits my tastes just right. I created two pieces this weekend and in both I tried to incorporate as many of Vivian’s techniques as I could. I’m attempting to master her signature technique of working with hot glue. It certainly takes practice! But I am in love with the result, and hope to incorporate it into a larger format someday soon. Here is the first of two, done on a six inch square piece of art board.
Here are a few close ups.
The products used were: Reeves Watersoluble Wax Pastels, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists along with Golden’s acrylic paint and Glass Bead Gel.
Thank you Vivian for the wonderful inspiration! If you have any questions on how I did anything please feel free to leave a comment or, just visit Vivian’s blog post over at Contadinak.wordpress.com.

Sam has really done a spectacular job with the techniques I share with y’all that I wanted to share with everyone a few of her blog posts. Here’s the first, courageously abstract, and I love it. Moments like these make me feel really proud about the time I spend doing what I do, so thank you for that, Sam!!!
Love your colors and the little surprise pockets of beads. Looks like your hot glue is flowing wonderfully! I am still working on achieving that look. Another fan of Vivian’s-I love how she shares so many details.
Super job of using some of Vivian’s technique’s. I love all the bright colors.
Sam, found you through Vivian’s blog. You have done a beautiful job at using these techniques. Great idea to start on a smaller size project. Keep up the great work.
Wow, so pretty. It has so much texture and color that I thought it was much bigger than only 6″x6″. Way more presence than that. TFS!
Massive congrats on even attempting this! What a great first result too. Love it. Hugs, Jenny x
