Hi again, I hope you are having a great weekend!
I'm back to my studio, working on some "ultra secret" projects, which unfortunately will need for the reveal for the next couple of months! This is just amazing how long it takes from the planning process, through the early stages and samples to the final effect... Working that much in advance is not my strongest side and my only light in the darkness is I really believe this will be cool stuff to play with! But shhh now, I can't say any more!
Today I'm coming back to the very beginning of the year, the first class i was teaching this January - "Treasured" Collage made for Art Venture 2015 in Anaheim. That was a great event with so many students and teachers in one place - if you will ever have a chance to go, you should seriously try it! Loads of fun!
Those of you who were interested in my Classes for 2015 will notice this project didn't finally make it to the final group of officially launched classes. I'm not sure if it was a right decision - some of the places I'm visiting this year were asking about this particular collage, so who knows? Maybe it will show up here or there some time in the future?
Project is based on the creative use of Elementals 12 x12 Resist Canvas (Stripes) - my beloved Mechanicals and of course - Art Basics in a combination with Art Ingredients.
You can see some of Art Basics Modeling Paste in the background, nice coat of Art Basics White Heavy Gesso and finally touches of Mica Powders and Micro beads bonded with Art basics Soft Gels. Fun way to work with any found objects you my find in your collection!
This kind of project which is a balanced mixture of assembling and painting is the quintessence of everything I love in the creating: freed om of choice, re-purposing, changing the unwanted, not pretty items into beautiful, eye catching compositions. What can be better than that? ;)
I wish you all a wonderful creative time - and please check the blog on Monday to see our next Creative Team project - inspiration is waiting!!!
Sending hugs

This is such an amazing assemblage. Do you have a video showing how you made this mixed media piece? I'd love to see it:)
Yummy!
To jest jak zwykle to co lubię i oczu oderwać od tego nie mogę. Pozdrawiam :))
Beautiful! Love how you added the brush.
Yay!!! This evening I managed to get myself a spot in this workshop in September. Together with a friend of mine we'll be enjoying ourselves and we'll probably learn a whole new set of techniques. I'm so exited!!!!
