Some people say that black is an absence of color.
Well...I have to disagree. ;)
And so I thought I would encourage my students to find the beauty in black...
This is a sample from my new 2014 Black Beauty class during which we create the cover of a journal.
I will never get tired of playing with gels, inks and paints to get some texture magic going on.. I designed this journal having this particular idea in mind - it just had to be sturdy enough to endure all the mixed-media action I'm so passionate about.
Obviously, there are lots of heavy embellishments involved and during this class we end up with one-of-a-kind creations to prove that black can be beautiful, too.
Never flat, never dull! Amazingly deep and iridescent!
You can find the journals of my design (large & small) in our shop, there's also a wide variety of Mechanicals - my metal embellishments and all sorts of media to create the feeling of depth: my favorite Silks acrylic paints, Primary Elements pigments, inks of all different kinds and many more!
So...have I convinced you that black can be exciting...?! ;)
Hugs

Hello Anna. I now have 2 of your beautiful journals, but I have to confess I still have not done a thing to them. I think this just might be the colours to make me start. It's Absolutely Stunning. You are such an inspiration and I hope you come back to Scotland and I get another chance to work with you. Hugs Rita xxxx

I made this Black Beauty at the Prima Artventure in California and it is my most Favorite thing I have ever made in a class! And I made an autograph/memory book from the event out of mine. It is a memory I will cherish forever!

Fabulous cover and love your black! Looking forward to attend your class again!
I love see your projects, there are so amazing!
I love black, and this is a stunning journal cover. Maybe you will be doing this in a class in Ireland sometime?
Just stunning. I love black and white and black and yellow colour combinations but rarely use them in my crafting. I think I'll start now.
Lovely journal cover.
Absolutely Finn - this is fantastic! Hopefully I'll get to take this class when you come to the US this summer!
Love it Finn. Rich and sumptuous!
I don't think I will ever understand how you create so many tones in your backgrounds! It's fascinating to look at.
