In this class, you will choose to make either a mini album or a memory box with a mini book using the latest papers from Graphic 45. If you love the vintage look, this class is for you. The mini album uses a Maya Road album with envelopes and chipboard pages. The memory box is an altered paper mache box with a dome. Each project has lots of embellishments, and techniques included. We will be using crackle, decoupage and Glimmer Mist. You can sign up for one or both projects, but will only have time to complete one of them in class.

In this first of my series of classes exploring the use of texture in collage in more depth, the student will be creating with Gesso. In particular the class will explore the opaque properties of Gesso for a misty, shabby look that makes collage Magic. Also introduced in the class is a second texture medium call White Opaque Flakes.
Please bring a pair of scissors and a variety of paintbrushes. You may also bring a favorite image that will be big enough for a 6X6 canvas. Please make sure that you only bring a toner copy, not an inkjet image. Unless you have an Epson permanent ink printer your inkjet image will smear. If you don’t have an image in mind, feel free to use mine. I will have more than enough for everyone.
Come and Play!
