ScrapJause 2011

What can I say…I’m tired but inspired :) Our event was so much fun. Anna and I arrived on Thursday and did some work and organization before the event started…still having some time to sit in the wonderful sun outside :)

Was kann ich sagen…ich bin müde aber inspiriert :) Unser Event hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Anna und ich sind am Donnerstag angekommen und haben noch einige Arbeiten erledigt, bevor das Event dann began…aber wir hatten trotzdem noch Zeit in der wunderschönen Sonne draußen zu sitzen :)

We started Saturday with my Layout Workshop “The thoughts are free”

Los ging es am Samstag mit meinem Layout Workshop ” Die Gedanken sind frei”

The last workshop was my Minialbum workshop – well…I did really not take a lot of pictures-
Der letzte Workshop war mein Minialbum Workshop…ich habe leider nicht genug Photos geschossen – Charlotte :)

The next day we woke up and all was white outside
Am nächsten Tag wachten wir auf und alles war weiß draußen

Anna taught her wonderful two classes and I taught my Canvas Workshop this time.
Anna gab ihre zwei wunderbaren Workshops und ich habe meinen Leinwand Workshop gegeben.

As always my favorite thing was that all pieces were different and that the students had fun to work – for some of them – outside the box.
Wie immer war ich besonders glücklich darüber, dass alle Werke unterschiedlich aussahen und dass die Teilnehmer Spaß bei den Workshops hatten – für einige vor allem dabei, einmal etwas völlig anderes zu tun.

Thank you Birgit for organising with us- you are wonderful!
Danke Birgit für das Mitorganisieren – Du bist großartig
ScrapJause14

I believe the only picture of Anna and me – at the airport today…we were really too busy to take a lot of photos- if you have some…please please share!!!!

Ich glaube das ist das einzige Photo von Anna und mir – am Flughafen heute- wir waren wirklich zu eingspannt, als dass wir ans Foto machen hätten denken können…wenn Ihr welche habt…bitte bitte schicken !!!!
ScrapJause16

Thank you all for everything- especially to all those of you who drove or flew hours and hours! We had a wonderful time with you!

Flower Tutorial *SAZ Winter 2010*

This Flower Tutorial was published in the last ScrapArtZine Issue Winter 2010 and I thaught I should share it with you :)

Dieses Blumen Tutorial war in der letzten Winter ScrapArtZine 2010 veröffentlicht und ich dachte, ich zeige Sie Euch mal :)

You will need: Canvas Fabric, a Brad, Wire or a rubber band, cheese cloth or mull, Paper – optional Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and Glam, Sicissor and Marker

Du brauchst: Leinwandstoff, einen Brad, Draht oder ein kleines Gummiband, Mullbinde, Papier und optional Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist und Glam, Schere und Marker

Draw a circle- or several circles on Canvas fabric.

Zeichne einen – oder gleich mehrere Kreise auf Leinwandstoff.

Ich had Canvas that was treated with gesso on one side. As I wanted to have the untreated side on top of the flower I put the Brad top down on top of the treated side.

Ich habe auf einer Seite mit Gesso behandelten Leinwandstoff genommen – hier möchte ich die unbehandelte Seite als Blumenoberfläche haben- also den Brad kopfüber auf die Gessoseite des Kreises legen.

Now fold the circle over the Brad in Pleats- it is a bit hard to do as the canvas is stiff because of the gesso. But you can do it :)

Nun fältel den Kreis über den Brad – ist ein wenig schwierig, da die Leinwand wegen des Gessos ein wenig steif ist, aber Du kriegst das schon hin :)

Now take a wire (which I find a bit better with the super stiff canvas) or a little rubber band (which is perfect with thin fabric) and put it around the neck of the brad.

Nun nimm einen Draht (find ich besser mit der steifen Landwand) oder ein kleines Gummiband (welches sehr gut ist wenn man mit dünnem Stoff arbeitet) und befestige es um den Hals des Brads.

Open up the canvas again

Entfalte den Leinwandstoff

You can use cheese cloth and put it over the nibs in loops.

Du kannst Mullbinde verwenden und diese in Schlaufen über den Stift des Brads legen.

Put a paper circle underneath the cheesecloth and bend the nibs of the Brad. You can leave the flower as it is or you can cut the cheesecloth loops  – you can see the outcome in the first picture – it makes for a more distressed look.

Unterhalb der Mullbinde kann man nun einen Papierkreis befestigen und die Bradstifte umlegen. Die Blume kann so bleiben, oder man kann die Schlaufen wie im allerersten Bild der Anleitung zu sehen – aufschneiden um einen etwas zerfetzteren Look zu erhalten.

The beauty of canvas and cheesecloth of course is that you can treat it before or after with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, Glimmer Glam or other Media to archive a one of a kind look.

Das Tolle an Leinwandstoff und Mullbinde ist natürlich, dass man es vorher oder nachher mit Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, Glimmer Glam oder anderen Medien bearbeiten kann um einen einzigartigen Look zu bekommen.

Have a great one!

Art Mesa 2011 – Workshops in Madrid, Spain

Artmese header

Ahhhhh – finally I can reveal another of many secrets :) My wonderful and super talented friend Cuchy and I are offering a Mixed Media Workshop Weekend on June 4th:)

Ahhh- endlich kann ich noch ein weiteres von vielen Geheimnissen aufdecken :) Meine wunderbare und super talentierte Freundin Cuchy  und ich bieten ein Mixed Media Workshop Wochenende am 4. Juni an :)

I know Cuchy from my workshops in Barcelona and we have been ever since in contact- I love her work and her amazing techniques and furthermore- she is just an amazing uplifting and fun person! So from there our idea to do a workshop weekend together started – and so here we go – Art Mesa 2011 – an art table – is born.

Ich kenne Cuchy von meinen Workshops in Barcelona und wir sind seitdem immer in Kontak geblieben. Ich liebe ihre Arbeiten und grandiosen Techniken und darüberhinaus ist sie einfach eine wunderbare, positive und fröhliche Person! Und so kam die Idee ein Workshop Wochenende zu organisieren – und da sind wir also – Art Mesa 2011 – Ein Kunst Tisch – sozusagen.

Check it out on the Art Mesa 2011 Blog.
