Magical Calligraphy Tour with the Hamilton Calligraphy Guild

I had the pleasure of teaching two very fun Gelli Printing classes at the Hamilton Calligraphy Guild's "Magical Calligraphy Tour" mini conference on the weekend.   THANK YOU ladies for making me feel so welcome and taking the class with me!

Here's a few snippets from one of the classes...   if you are interested in learning more about Gelli Printing, please feel free to contact me at the studio anytime.  Love to share this with you too!!

 

Clay Bowl workshop with Susan Spencer Gervais

We had a fabulous Saturday afternoon on the long weekend creating unique and ornate clay earthenware bowls.

Susan Spencer Gervais educated our group about the clay, showed some tips and tricks for molding and creating true works of art.  Each bowl is stunning....  can't wait to see them fired!

A selection of the 10 bowls created

Karen's Bowl - decorated with stamps by Catherine Scanlon Designs.

Drying...   getting ready to put in the Kiln

There will be another Clay Bowl class held in June.   Stay tuned for information as I know you'll want to create one too!!!

Tuesday with the Team

Today on the Canadian Scrapbooker blog there is a post I created featuring my favourite Soft Gel, USArtQuest's PPA- Perfect Paper Adhesive and Prills.

I love USArtQuest products - if you know my art or watch my videos you'll know their products are some of my go-tos!!  *smile*   This technique using the Prills with the PPA is a very simple process that gives very pretty dimensional results.  
Be sure to check it out!

Get Well Soon Card - via ustream

I created a card for someone I was going to go visit in the hospital last night on ustream...  a soup bowl card - complete with gold fish crackers *wink*

This card features hand painted and gelli printed fabrics, papers, tissue and even painted paper towel.  It was adhered with a soft gel (PPA) and then free motion stitched in place.

See how I created the "tie dye" look in the base fabric and put the card together on the recorded video.   Enjoy!   And....BE WELL!!

Prayer Flag for Nepal

On last night's Ustream broadcast I created this prayer flag for Nepal.
