Layout: Happiness- Return Requested *Vintage Street Market*
When I saw the Travel Kit with all those beautiful little bits and pieces I instantly knew I wanted to use some of the Australia photos with it.
Als ich das Travel Kit mit all diesen kleinen Vintage Stückchen erhielt, wußte ich, dass ich es mit einigen meiner Australien Photos verwenden wollte.
I love the layered look and dimension the Aged Tinted Tape adds to the paper and I also added some Gesso to blend it in with the background. I thought those vintage buttons would look great as flower centers on the Epiphany Crafts Frayed Felt Flowers.
Ich liebe die Layer und Dimension, die das Aged Tinted Tape zum Papier hinfügt und ich habe darüber hinaus noch ein wenig Gesso verwendet, um es in den Hintergrund einzublenden. Die Vintage Knöpfe machen sich gut in den Epiphany Crafts Frayed Felt Flowers.
That little koala was my favorite in the zoo – we watched it forever and it was a really fun and happy day – Return Requested :)
Der kleine Koala war wirklich mein Liebling im Zoo – wir haben ihn stundenlang beobachtet und es war ein schöner und glücklicher Tag – Return Requested :)

Mixed Media Circus – The Grand Finale: Book of Techniques Workshop
You’ve asked and now we’re answering! Watch for descriptions of all the classes we’re teaching to roll out over the next few weeks. And now, just like a nosy reader, we’re starting at the end.
Ihr habt gefragt und es soll Euch geantwortet werden! Beobachtet, wie all die Workshops, die wir unterrichten, in den nächsten Tagen vorgestellt werden. Und nun, ganz wie ein neugieriger Leser, beginnen wir einfach am Ende.
On Sunday afternoon, November 27th, 2011 – in Hamburg Germany – Julie and I will team teach a class called, “The Grand Finale: Book of Techniques.”
Am Sonntag Nachmittag (27. November 2011 in Hamburg) werden Julie und ich gemeinsam einen Workshop mit dem Namen “The Grand Finale: Book of Techniques” – also Das Große Finale: Buch der Techniken” unterrichten.
Use this book as an art journal, scrapbook, or simply a beautiful reference for all of the cool techniques you’ll learn using gesso, gel medium, acrylic paint, and PanPastels (and a special thank you to PanPastel for coming on board as a sponsor of our Mixed Media Circus). These are some of our favorite supplies and we’ll teach you our favorite techniques using them! We’ll create texture, play with simple resist techniques, and experiment with paint! Not only will we share tons of techniques with you, but we will go over all sorts of useful information about these products and give you some easy do’s and don’ts for when you head home!
Verwende dieses Buch als ein Art-Journal, Scrapbook, oder einfach nur als ein wunderschönes Referenzbuch zu all den tollen Techniken unter der Verwendung von Gesso, Gel Medium, Acrylfarben und PanPastels (und einen besonderen Dank an PanPastel für das An-Bord-Kommen als Sponsor unseres Mixed Media Events). Dies sind einige unserer Lieblingszutaten und wir werden euch unsere Lieblingstechniken mit diesen Medien zeigen! Wir werden Textur erzeugen, mit simplen Resist Techniken arbeiten und viel mit Farben experimentieren! Und wir werden Euch nicht nur eine Menge Techniken zeigen, sondern darüber hinaus Euch auch viele nützliche Informationen über die Medien geben und Euch weitere Tipps und Trick auch für das forgeschrittene Spielen zuhause mitgeben!
If you’d like to sign up (we’re just a little less than half full right now), you can find all of the information here.
Falls Ihr Euch anmelden wollt (Wir sind etwas weniger als zur Hälfte ausgebucht zur Zeit), könnt Ihr Informationen hier erhalten.

This is the second layout that didn’t make the cut for my article in Somerset Memories The Zen State of Art- but I still love it a lot- cause it has a lot of meaning for me.

Art Mesa 2011 – Photos Part I
Art Mesa 2011 in Madrid, Spain was amazing! I am so happy Cuchy and I organized and my special thanks goes out to Cuchy and her amazing family. They actually did most of the organization and way more when needed to make this event a full success. Thank you so much you all – love you and miss you already!!!
We had two workshops and prepared the room the day before on friday evening
Personal name tags
Materials and tools as well as necessary treats :)
I think this photo reflects pretty much how good Cuchy and I got along :)
It was the last time that I taught my “Free Your Creativity Class” life- if you are still interested in taking the class- you can do so online – I really loved this class with all my heart – but there is time to say good bye to a class and retire it- after over 20 times I guess that time came :) I will miss those amazing different turn outs though :)
We had students from far away- Like Dale from Canada here with gorgeus Tony speaking two different languages but getting along just perfectly fine :)
and from Malaga Cecilia and her wonderful Mom
and local sweethearts :) – I wish I could show you all :)
Cuchy’s amazing class – she amazed me with all her nifty ideas, she is an amazing artist and she rocked her class!
Thank you all for coming to our event- we had a wonderful time with you and hope to see you soon again….maybe at…Art Mesa 2012
Photos of sightseeing Madrid will come later :)
Hugs

Canvas Corp Guestdesigner – Giftbag and two layouts
For a very dear friend I created this little uplifting layout using some of the gorgoeous Canvas Corp Papers and Tag and Cork.
Für eine mir am Herzen liegende Freundin habe ich dieses aufmunternde Layout mit den fantastischen Canvas Corp Papieren und Tag und Korkteilen kreiert.
I love the Kraft Paper as well as the wonderful script paper- so many fun things you can create with them.
Ich liebe dieses Kraft Papier- ebenso wie das schöne Scriptpapier- man kann damit so viele tolle Sachen machen.
As other friends created layouts too I created a little bag out of a 12×12 inch Canvas Sheet by Canvas Corp.
Da auch andere Freunde Layouts kreiert haben, habe ich eine klien Tasche aus einem 12×12 LeinwandBlatt von Canvas Corp kreiert.
As the canvas is actually two 12×12 sheets sewn together I was able to simply cut off a stripe and after painting it with different acrylic paints and media I used the Linnen String to make bag for the layouts.
Da die Leinwand aus 2 zusammengenähten 12 x 12 Leinwandschichten besteht, konnte ich einfach ein Ende abschneiden, dann die Seiten anmalen und mit einem Leinen Band von Canvas Corp eine Tasche kreieren.
For people like me that are actually not great in sewing a good way to make a gift bag :)Für Leute wie mich, die eigentlich nicht so gut Nähen können, ist das eine gute Möglichkeit eine Geschenktasche zu machen :)
And last but not least a Layout also using the gorgeous Canvas Corp Papers.
Und zu guter Letzt noch ein Layout ebenfalls mit den tollen Canvas Corp Papieren.
I used the Kraft paper and the Embossed Rose paper which I had painted with Tattered Angels Glimmer Glazes and then sprayed with Glimmer Mist. I also used the Burlap String and the cute little Clothespins. For the Title I used one of the awesome Chalkboard Cards.
Für dieses Layout habe ich das Kraft Papier und das Embosste Rosenpapier verwendet, welches ich dann mit Tattered Angels Glimmer Glazes bemalt und sodann mit Glimmer Mist besprüht habe. Für den Rand habe ich Burlap String verwendet und auch die knuffigen kleinen Wäscheklammer benutzt. Den Titel habe ich auf eine der grandiosen Tafelkarten geschrieben.
Have a wonderful day!Einen wunderschönen Tag Euch!
Nat

Canvas Corp Guestdesigner – Burlap Canvas and a Vase
Burlap is such a great material to use – and I really loved the little burlap canvas by Canvas Corp. Since I also had this Tiny Chair to use for a project I got an idea.
Sackleinen ist ja so ein grandioses Material – ich liebe diese kleine Sackleinenleinwand (hehehe- schönes wort ;)) von Canvas Corp. Da ich auch noch diesen kleinen Stuhl für ein besonders Projekt hatte, hatte ich dann eine Idee.
I painted the burlap canvas with Golden Mica Flakes, attached the Chair, lightbulb and the Linnen String and a Cork Circle.
Ich habe einige Stellen des Sackleinens mit Golden Mica Flakes bemalt, den Stuhl und die Glühbirne, sowie die Leinen Band und einen Kork-Kreis angeklebt.
As I had used up the Canvas Corp Cork Circles I had the cute glass container they come in as a left over.
Nachdem ich all die Canvas Corp Kork Kreise aufgebracht hatte, blieb die Verpackung- ein knuffiges Mini-Einmachglas übrig.
I simply used some Japanese Washitape around it and then used some of the Canvas Corp Burlap String. It is a great way to recycle and reuse the amazing packaging too.
Ich habe es einfach mit ein wenig Japanischem Washitape ersehen und dann noch ein wenig von dem Canvas Corp Sackleinen Band rumgewickelt. Eine gute Möglichkeit die Verpackung wieder zu verwenden.
