Fun at Artiscape!

What a fun time I had at Artiscape this past weekend. I also realized that I started my blog a year ago right before I left for Artiscape! Time really does fly. I took 7 classes this year, all great classes and instructors. Lesley Venable's Vintage Album pages was the first night and it was awesome - I'll scan my pages and post them later this week. I also took a class called Layers upon Layers with Jacqueline Sullivan and was thrilled to end up with a very nice painting!

My finished painting

Hard to believe that this is how it started out, aluminum foil, cheese cloth and tissue paper. Really amazing process that I'm sure I'll use again.

I also had fun with my Art Gang Ohio friends who came for classes too. We went to Schmidt's (a yummy german restaurant in historic German Village) for dinner. This is a picture of us before we ate like little piggies at the german buffet.

I'm looking forward to taking 3 classes this Friday from Tim Holtz who will be at the Akron Stamp Convention with Darlene, Kelli and Betsy. Can't wait - I'll try to post pictures of our day with Tim! Until then....

  1. Oh man! That is wonderful Dawn! Love all the texture in it. And I do believe I spy a little quinacridone gold on your right pinky finger - nothing like getting right INTO your work! Hee-hee!
