Being creative souls, we often feel discouraged, stuck, or uninspired, and finding an effective, fresh source of inspiration and creative excitement may not be easy! One of the popular approaches, combining motivation with fun are creative challenges or visual inspirations called Moodboards.
They usually combine a set of guidelines, a quote, or a theme we are supposed to focus on, followed by matching images or photos, helping us find a starting point and get into creative flow…
But, how to use them? Where to start?
How can you translate the Moodboard into a project that will be a fusion of inspiration and your natural style? Let me show you how I tackle this problem!
This class is a combination of 2 video materials showing in detail how you can turn a moodboard into a fully finished project.
The first one is a recording of my live class, “All about Moodboards”, where I talk about possible approaches, ideas and inspirations and explain my thinking process step-by-step. I talk about the multiple options and encourage creativity and independent thinking while working with visual inspirations. You can expect not only valuable tips and guidelines but also examples of the substrates and elements or art mediums I’d choose for my own project.
This recorded livestream is an excellent source for anyone who feels a bit uninspired, intimidated or out of creative energy – moodboards are fabulous sparks to put your creativity on fire!
In the second part of the class, you can see the actual project done step-by-step, including the materials I was picking in the livestream.
What to expect?
I show every step in detail, giving helpful comments and explaining the techniques and purposes of each step. You will see the whole collage built from the bottom to the top and experience all the finishing touches, which change the look of the project according to your preferences and personal taste. As is usually the case in mixed-media, all the techniques can be easily applied to other projects on various surfaces to create a unique, inspiring look!
Are you ready to dive into the world of creativity? I’m here waiting for you!
This class is suitable for all – only an elementary experience is needed!

From Moodboard to Collage
Finnabair
You might know me as Finnabair, but my real name is Anna Dabrowska-Pekocka, and I’m a mixed-media artist, teacher, coach and product designer.
Transforming and upcycling everyday objects is the cornerstone of my craft; to make this “casual magic” possible for everyone, I develop approachable techniques for all skill levels. Between textures and paint, my love for dimensional artwork shaped my distinctive style. Mix in expressive freedom, awakening a creative spark each person holds inside, and therapeutic, releasing powers of art, and you’ll have a picture of my core values.
What had started as a hobby, in 2011 transformed into teaching in-person mixed media classes with immediate success. In 2013, I established a long-term relationship with one of the top craft suppliers worldwide, Prima Marketing; since then, I have counted myself among the most active and best-known product designers in the mixed-media world. The products I come up withstand out thanks to their distinctive style, which is unique to my brand, and blur the line between craft supplies, home décor, and fine art.
After over ten years on the market, I’m one of the most recognizable and experienced professional teachers in my field. My classes are in great demand, and I continuously strive to deliver the best possible experience and quality to my students. Being able to say that I successfully turned my passion into a full-time job is an incredible feeling.
My mission? To continue this magical, artistic journey, and guide, teach and encourage as many creative souls as I can on their path of self-discovery.
Art is always the Answer.
