so alot more stuff red hot off the paint brush

Taking an online class...called mixed media melange with julie pritchard and chris cozen as teacher...its alot of fun..Ille and Marsha are taking it too...we get videos that we can view forever and a pdf class handout as well as interactoin with the teachers online at ning.com...been a very interesting experience so far...

the first class or lesson was painting in shades of blue and green and then stamping stenciling over it...this is one of my two blue ones...



This is done with quinacridone magenta and hansa yellow...stenciled with gold and pearl paints...yummy colors....


Bucket List

Lesson three was SHABBY chic...and i really had fun with this one....we collaged a layer...painted it out with white and titan buff...then collaged over ...did some sewing...this is the first one i did...the leaves were on the front porch yesterday...stitched thru the canvas cloth with some of my stash of hand dyed pearl cottons...added some antique pearl buttons that kim gave me several jars of...well two...and i stamped on it...this was going to be Connies 50th birthday present till i made her another one:> has a Bucket list of things that she can do to amp her life up now that shes over the hill:> you will have to check back tomorrow to see the other one or check on FB since shes no longer there!! will post it there shortly:>




THis si the second one...Little Women...i collaged a page out an old 1946 Little womens book on to this...the page has all the important characters on it...the tree is also ripped from Little Women...There are alot of others neutrals too...

THis is painted on a deliwrap sheet and is from lesson 1...well sort of...we didnt have to paint green but it was too much fun...and you get great color on deliwraps!! You said WHAT are deliwraps..those thin pieces of paper wrapped around your favorite fast food hamburger or a sausage biscuit...looks sort of like wax paper but isnt...great fun to paint on...cheap...500 sheets or so for 5.99...and it collages well..i have painted at least a dozen of these including a pile of valentine colors to make valentine cards with well maybe:> if i can quit making these shabby chic things...:>


Here are a few more deliwraps...this one is quin red and hansa yellow light with gold...sequin waste and abc stenciling
