Artful Gathering Event Registration is Open!
I'm the Spotlight Artist for The Artful Gathering Blog Hop!
Follow along with me for fun, creativity, and a chance to win a
$200.00 e-gift card from Jerry's Artarama!
This summer I will be teaching two fabulous premiere video workshops at
The Artful Gathering Online Art Retreat 2012
Recycled/Reusable Journal Cover
From June 6 to July 17
In this class, I will teach you how to take everyday, worn out, discarded and vintage clothing and incorporate them into your art.
Step by step, we'll journey through the process of combining different fabric elements and ideas for making this fabulous journal.
I will show you how to create a journal wrap that will
allow you to either display the piece for others to view it or create one that could be used in your everyday routine.
Regardless of how you chose to use your wrap, it will
have others wanting one too!
Not Your Ordinary Photo Album Wall Hanging
From July 15 to August 25
Did you ever wish that you could display your photo album in a creative way or how about create a piece to give as a gift, but with a different twist.
In this class, I will teach you how to create an album out of reusable, found or store bought items and create a showcase piece that will have others wanting you to make one for them.
From the techniques that I share with you in this class, you will come away with many different ways to create this same album, but each one with a different look. Making each one, unique in itself.
With the steps that we go through,I will explain how, by choosing to incorporate that step or opting to leave it out, how it will give you a different piece. I will also show you, that you could opt to display this on a flat surface, instead of hanging it.
This is one album that will have others wanting to view it, over and over again.
