I had such a wonderful time teaching my Art Rules Workshop at The Ink Pad in NYC. It was a two day workshop and we explored lots of wonderful artists.

We created a huge amount of pattern using my new ArtFoamies designs which were …quite liked :)

The second day we had to move into a different class room due to a little mistake by Westbeth but due to the amazing organization skills of Anna from The Ink Pad and our wonderful and helpful students, that wasn’t a big deal and we actually liked our second home a lot – it was a real printmaking studio.

City Blues or… In my Art Journal today

offbeat01_natkalbach

“Sometimes the city beats to the pulse of my heart, sometimes slightly off”

Last week the city was beating slight off my heart pulse, meaning I was grumpy at the city – yup that can happen – but playing with some of my brand new ArtFoamies Designs helped *wink. In case you have missed the big news- check them out  – you can order them now in my store

I used the Manhattan Border Stamp and the Manhattan Positive & Negative Stamp Set and went to town for some fun pattern play.

offbeat02_natkalbach

The Manhattan Positive and Negative Stamp Set comes with both stamps and you can use them either alone, together or …even cooler on top of each other – yeah!!!

offbeat03_natkalbach

I played with all three variations and added the Manhattan here and there and then outlined some areas for a city scape.

I added the journaling with a black marker and traced on top with a white signo pen. And…I felt way better about the city again – no more City Blues *Wink

Here is what I used (some of the links are affiliate links):
