Lots and Lots to share.....

....starting last Friday....
Charlotte came to visit me...or actually she just wanted to go to the Posthumuswinkel and I live nearby ;).

We didn't have much time because we stayed in the stampshop toooooo long but at my place we played around a little with our new stamps, Ranger Distress Inks (which totally rule!) and Shrink Plastic (which also rules!).


Saturday was.... well.... Saturday.. quite boring; cleaning the house, doing some grocery shopping and visit my inlaws where we had dinner.


And then it was Sunday: WACKY WORKSHOP WEEKEND.

I went to 2 workshops from Celine Navarro, which were great. Just love the way she teaches ; she first takes her time to explain step by step what you can do with certain products... she doesn't just tell you what to do, she really shows it you in a patient and relaxing way. Love this!

The first class i took from her was "Mixed Media Art Journal" (not finished yet, will show it later..if I ever finish it - LOL)

The second was a "Collage Class" where she taught us how to use gesso to create texture on your paper / canvas. You can see the result above :).
That really smart literature lover who can tell me the title of the book from which I used the quote "I just noticed what a stupid haircut somebody gave her" on my collage :) will receive a big RAK from me
I will give a hint... a famous murderer had this book in his hand while shooting someone...
Actually the murderer became famous because he killed someone famous......
I need the title and the writer of the book and that RAK will be yours!
This RAK will include 1 of my Marbled Frida ATC's....
And no girls...if you took one of Celines classes at the WWW... you cannot play - LOL!

MIXED MEDIA workshop






















Yesterday I went to a Mixed Media Workshop; my 2nd workshop ever! The first one I attended was the Elsie workshop last year; and I still haven't finished this project (doubt I ever will).
I had no idea what to expect; the only thing I knew was that we would use acrylic paints and collagesheets.
Turned out we had to make a canvas with the topic "Home Sweet Home" and here is the result; I LOVE the rubberstamp I used on the side of the canvas...and those (postal) stamps on top are my favorite part of the canvas :)







The workshop was hosted by Mieke Smetsers; check out her blog for a fun technique using eggshells and Ranger alcoholink
