"Home for the Holidays" Mixed Media Canvas

Here's my latest mixed media canvas class at The Little Blue House. I'll be teaching this through Christmas so call or stop by the House to reserve your place in class.

These canvases are very popular and I so enjoy creating them.  It's a challenge to come up with something different for each new canvas.  This one uses several new (and old favorites) textural products that I can't wait to share.  The Christmas lights and wreath are easily removed so you could continue to display this through the winter season.

If you're local, I hope you'll join me for this fun (and messy) class!

Mixed Media Mania Class - Next Week!

This is the project I will be teaching for the Mixed Media Mania class next week at The Little Blue House.  We will be combining assorted papers and fabrics and adding several textural products to make our own "paper cloth" to create a mixed media tree.  Depending on the choices you make along the way, each finished tree will be your own unique piece of art.  Be prepared to get your hands dirty and have some messy fun!

Classes will be Tuesday, November 12:

10:00 am - 1:00 pm

or

6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Contact The Little Blue House at 817-431-7930 to reserve your seat!  Check out the MMM page on the LBH blog for supply list.

Hope to see you then!

Project Premiere

Our Holiday Project Premiere yesterday was a huge success! Thanks to all who stopped by to see the new products, new class projects and to make the cute little candy boxes at the Make-n-Take. I was busy demoing the new WeR Memory Keepers punch boards for gift bags, candy boxes, square boxes and pillow boxes nonstop all day long!

I managed to snap a few photos of The Little Blue House before we opened the doors. Everything looked so pretty and festive. We even had Christmas music playing and lots of yummy Christmas cookies and punch.

If you happened to miss the special event, do stop by anytime to take a look at the fun class projects  we have created!

New Fall Classes

I'm busy creating classes for the Christmas classes for the LBH Preview on Nov. 2 (next Saturday) and I haven't even shared the fall classes here yet!

This is the Halloween double layout, "Fright Night," I created using the gorgeous Halloween collection from Teresa Collins.

And lots of washi tape!

 My spooky Mixed Media "Beware" canvas has been very popular. Everyone has had fun with all the paints and "lotions and potions" used on this project. I love that every canvas has come out just a bit different, but all great!

I also designed a new set of tags for our popular blocks and base set. These are non-seasonal and can be on display at any time. I used beautiful burlap fabrics and lace instead of the usual patterned papers. I love the simplicity of them.

Lace, pearls, twine and metal - a perfect combination!

These classes are all being currently taught at The Little Blue House, so if you are local, stop by to visit or call to reserve your seat!

After next weekend, I will be able to share the Christmas projects - right now they are all WIPs!

Mixed Media Mania "Spooktacular" Tag Canvas Class

Come join me next Tuesday, Oct. 22nd, at The Little Blue House for my newest Mixed Media Mania class.  This month we will be getting messy while we play with many "lotions and potions" to create these spooky Halloween tags to be mounted on a 6" x 12" canvas.

We'll explore some fun techniques using the new Art Anthologies paints and special effects paste, a different twist on alcohol ink backgrounds and some real and "faux" metal effects.  

Two sessions will be held Tuesday, Oct. 22:

10:00 am - 1:00 pm

or 

6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Call or stop by The Little Blue House (817-431-7930) to reserve your spot! Cost is $30.00.

(Check the MMM page on the LBH blog for the list of supplies to bring.)

Hope to see you then!
