I just returned home from Stampaway in Cincinnati- what a Blast!!! I took 7 classes and went to the Friday night preview party...then shopped a little bit more Saturday AM.........
I really enjoyed making a mixed media canvas............ We used napkins, embossing paste, Pan Pastels and some stamping. WE had three choices of napkins, so no one had the same outcome...... We had 2 ladies from Pa., one from Mi and one from OH plus me at my table.
This canvas was done with paint, Gesso, a square of texturized Wallpaper....painted and then the color scraped off with a plastic card like a credt card (or a hotel key......). I left the sentiment off for now. Everyone in this class made the exact same project- we were able to choose different sentiments.
My favorite class was a Parchment technique class- no pictures as no
project was completed- but I will definitely be doing some in the
future......
There was a TON of shopping- so many temptations- I will have fun playing with my new 'stuff'!
I got to meet Pat Huntoon IRL for the first time, and I also met Mr Holtz himself : )
I watched his glitter presentation, ask a couple of questions about the black inks and saw a presentation with the new glitter line. The glitter is very glimmery, but has no mica- it is plastic, you can ink it and it does not fly all over the place when you used it- I look forward to giving it a try.
Oh, it's good to be home- I have not slept in my own bed since last Monday night......
Thanks for stopping by!
