Art & Sewl - Birdie Page

Hi, Everyone,

Continuing with our Art & Sewl pages, today I am sharing Kim's Birdie page.

We start off by collaging our canvas page with various patterned fabrics, then adding decorative stitching or pen lines & of course, adding embellishments.

On my Birdie page (which is not shown here), I used various colours of embroidery floss hand sewn onto the canvas.  This will show you 2 different options on how to put together your page.

Have a look!

Young Artists in Training - 2nd Covers Class

Hi, Everyone,

What a fantastic day!
Today was the 2nd Covers Class for "Young Artists in Training".  What a great group of kids!
Eager, energetic, talented, fun, happy . . . you couldn't ask for a better group.

Thank you Pyper, Robyn, Jaina, Ellexis, Joe, Anya, Camille, & Scarlett.  Here they are with the beautiful covers they created.  (Joe, I'm so sorry, you had to leave before I could take your photo!  Your covers were awesome too!)

Thank you moms for allowing me to share my art with your children & for allowing their talent to grow.

I am very proud of each & every one of them.

Have fun creating!

Art & Sewl - Ice Resin #2

Hi, Everyone,

Ice Resin continued . . .

As I said before, Ice Resin has a magical effect on paper.  As the Resin soaks into the paper it becomes translucent.  If there is print on both sides of the paper, you will be able to see both sides of print once the Ice Resin soaks in fully.

Photos don't do this page justice.  This is a vintage book page that has been painted on 1 side with Ice Resin.  The print on the back peeks through to the front & the look is absolutely beautiful.  If you get a chance, please have a look at the finished page on display at Treasured Memories.

Art & Sewl - Ice Resin #1

Hi, Everyone,

Have you played with Ice Resin?

Ice Resin is a two part epoxy which magically turns paper into vellum.  It's not that instant though, it takes overnight to dry.

We will be creating this beautiful translucent page accented with fabric & mesh tape at Art & Sewl.  Have a look!
