Can you say...Obsessed???

I have been playing with both Citra Solv and Nevr Dull a whole bunch lately in preparation for my class at Kept Creations in Whitman, MA on October 11. The pages below are all Citrasolv on National Geographic magazines. Aren't they amazing! You end up with a lot of lunar landscapes, but I'm okay with that.. :)  I'm home on vacation this week and am hoping to actually create some art while I clean the hoard. We'll see what actually gets done. So far it is 10:00 AM on Monday morning and I haven't done either one.

Enjoy the eye-candy. I'll post some finished pieces later.

 Isn't the green fabulous???!!!

 This one below was from an older Nat Geo (1970's) and it took quite a bit to mainpulate the inks, but it's still cool. I actually like my fingerprints all over it.

 The reds are wonderful too. Boiling hot lava...right?

MailArt 101 Class-Woo Hoo!

Finally! I am taking the plunge and teaching a mailart class on February 4 at 1:00pm at The Crop Shop/Creation Destination in Rockland, MA. Of course, I haven't called to see if anyone has signed up yet...I could end up playing by myself...

I have been busy making class samples, putting together goodie packages, and writing a Mailart Zine to use as my handout.

The pictures below are some samples of my "Layers of Flavor" technique that I will be teaching along with a ton of basic mailart info. I am so excited to get more people doing mailart!


First layer of paint wash on random paper background.

Adding another paint wash, more paper bits, found stamps, and a vintage print block.

A different piece after many many layers...

Come join me!!! It's a bargain at only $15.00 for 2 hours of fun and inspiration! Visit their site at http://www.thecropshop.net/?cat=7 . My class is the second one in the list.
