Princess Bubbles Creates

http://artclick.tv/free-test/CCP-LR1 Check out this link.  They are offering free video tutorials/ lessons until the end of July.  I wish I would have discovered this sooner.  There are mostly watercolor lessons available but some collage and mixed media too.  Definitely worth a look.

Yesterday I got together with some friends and my sister joined us via skype.  Too fun!  I had a lot of paste leftover from the class last week so we played with that a bit.  The top photo is paste paper, second from top paste fabric.  I look forward to using them.  The third photo is a new technique a friend just learned.  We taped off a shape onto tracing paper.  We put a few drops of Golden fluid acrylic inside the shape and swiped across the paint with a squeegee.  So simple, so cool.  The bottom photo is molding paste pushed through a stencil onto canvas/paper and then layers of paint added after the molding paste dried.  Such a fun day spent with awesome and creative friends!  Love it!

This stitch is a new stitch to me.  Pleasantly, not a difficult one and I got the hang of it pretty quickly.  I tried a couple of stitches on a scrap of cloth and then moved to this crazy quilt block.  I will likely add this stitch to other crazy quilt blocks.  I would like to stitch into a circle as that is quite a pleasing shape.

The students were so clever and creative last week!  It was a joy to be with such talented ladies.  Here are two more samples of their work.

Sumptuous surfaces indeed!  Would you just love to get your hands on these?  So yummy and full of potential!

Needless to say that I did not have the time or the energy to do any creating myself this past week.  I give my all when I am teaching as I want my students to have a really good time.  So here a couple images of what they created. 

I taught Sumptuous Surfaces to eight awesome ladies this week, at the Wellington County Museum.  The creative energy was fabulous.  The openness and sharing attitudes were tremendous.  The joyous spirit was shared by all.  Check out the class photo!  Can't you just tell the workshop was a blast!  Too fun!
