ArtFest (Paper Dolls & Butterflies) - Layout 8

Hi, Everyone,

Inchies & Twinchies . . . who said they had to be regimented?

This weekend is about playing & experimenting.
We do what we want & we try new things.
Trying new Products that is . . . lots and lots of different Products.  This is the place to play with lots of different products without having to buy each & everyone to experiment with & spending tons of money to discover what you like & what you don't like to create art with.

Below is Layout 8:

Inchie & Twinchie pages are always so much fun to create.  They allow us to pay in tiny sections on the page & embellish the daylights out of them.

The Crackle on the background is amazing. 

The paint & glazing sneaks into the nooks & crannies to highlight the magnificent crackle texture!

Only 8 more days!

Have fun creating!

Hi, Everyone,

Of course we will also be playing with Inks & Sprays at our weekend extravaganza . . . but using pipettes.

We coat & protect our pages, set forth a conductor, drop inks & sprays, then manipulate the colours layer by layer to create varying degrees of intensity.  But first we scrape modelling paste through a stencil then form a resist with embossing powder.

Below is Layout 7:

All the fussy cutting is done for you . . . all of it . . . so you can experiment & play with all these many varied products that I will be supplying that weekend for everyone to share.

9 more days.  I can't wait!

Have fun creating!

Hi, Everyone,

My Art Book would not be complete without a Ballerina.
Her form is poised & elegant.  Her tutu is made from doilies & lace.
The curtain is raised with hand sewn butterflies & her audience awaits.

Below is Layout 6:

Look at the layers & layers of texture all around the edges of the page!

We will be dabbling with Inka-Gold water soluble Beeswax Paints

in every single colour imaginable . . . your choice.

We will be stencilling Black Lava Texture Gel to create the fabric of our curtain . . . 

then hand sewing Ivory/Gold Baker's Twine to suspend a flutter of butterflies . . .

then layers of Fluid Medium, Glazing Medium, Paint, & Wax.

I love running my fingers across the pages!

ArtFest (Paper Dolls & Butterflies) - Layout 5

Hi, Everyone,

The Altered Encyclopedia is evolving into a beautiful Art Book!
Each page is full of so much Texture.  I absolutely love running my fingers across every little bit of it.

The drywall putty, the tissue, the lace & fabric, the washi tape & papers . . .
the stamping, the fluid medium & glazing . . . it's layers & layers of Texture.

But wait . . . once we finish all the layouts . . . then we add the Metal Embellishments!

Below is Layout 5

anxiously waiting for the beautiful beads & trinkets to be added at the tips of the ribbon dress

& on the bodies of the Butterflies.

The drywall putty creates such flowing movement to the pages.

Once the Wax is applied the pages feel like leather.

Stay tuned . . . more photos to follow.

ArtFest (Paper Dolls & Butterflies) - Layout 3

Hi, Everyone,

Each page I create in the Altered Encyclopedia Product Sampler becomes my next favourite page.  They are all works of art & you will be extremely proud to show them off.

When working in a book you need to create on flat surfaces, so all my metal embellishments & book jewellery are added on at the end.  The photos I have been showing you do not have my beloved metal embellishments attached yet.

Oh, and I love feeling the pages . . . the texture is amazing!

Below is Layout 3:

The beautiful script writing was written with a Fineline Applicator filled with Fluid Medium & paint.

The Fineline Applicator will be one of the give-aways during the weekend.

This tool will be a great asset to your basic tool kit.

I absolutely love it!

We will be creating with lots of varied weights of fabrics & papers.

Creating with Cotton Fabric, Cheese Cloth & Handmade Doilies & 

knowing which type of medium to use to attach & create on them varies

depending on the weight of fabric you use.

Knowledge is Power. 

Whether you are a card maker, a scrapbooker, an art journaller, or a mixed media artist,

A Sharpie Fine Permanent Pen will also be 1 of the give-aways for each of the participants!
