Queen's Ink Workshops May 11 & 12

Patti decided I should do some classes for her at Queen's Ink in Savage MD...so come May I will be hosting a Workshop Weekend...Saturday the 11th will be my altered book -

On Sunday, the 12th I will be doing 2 workshops....one is an 8x10 canvas using Adirondack Alcohol Inks on canvas....the student will be making this painting -

And Adirondack Alcohol Ink on Dictionary paper...learn the secret to painting on book pages with alcohol ink without it spreading...the students will create this wall hanging on a dictionary page mounted on Ranger Sticky Back Canvas...the mediums used are Adirondack Alcohol Inks, Distress Stain, and markers....

I am really looking forward to these workshops....Queen's Ink is my favorite place on the East Coast to teach...they have the largest selection, the newest of everything and great personal...I will miss them since we will be moving to California in the Fall... This maybe my last hurrah....

Tattering again

Another brain fart...I cut up my foam stamping pad because I never use it and it is a nice thick, dense foam...perfect for die cutting a stamp...then I put the newly made stamp into an embossing folder and impressed the image into the foam....inked and stamped on my card...decided I needed a stem so I took the long stemmed tree group embossing folder and just colored a portion with a distressed marker and stamped it on the card...then using the same marker I colored only a portion of the foam stamps I made to make the leaf and grass...fun to play with....

Now on to my next one....I am waiting for a shirt to dry that I used bleach and the same foam stamps on ...
