I confess....I have been a terrible Blogger this month, but I hope with a good excuse....after the site re-design and all the work that it entailed I was just left physically drained. I have been trying to catch a bit of rest here and there although I must admit I seriously need that vacation I keep talking about...*sigh*....soon....soon.....I hope. :)
So...this month is very special to me. It marks a milestone of change and happiness for me...and I can't say it enough times...change is good. I feel good. I am ecstatic that we are going to be teaching more. If I know you are growing in this artistic persuit of yours then at the end of the day I can say I have done my job. :)
So...the feature kit this month contains all things that are so near and dear and close to my heart...anyone who knows me has to admit that I am a sparkly girl..right??? Honestly...if it doesn't sparkle or make wishes come true when you blow it into the wind, then it's not for me. So...do you think I had to add 18 bottles of glitter in every colour of the rainbow??? You betcha! And..is it super high quality, super fine glitter?? Yep! Gosh....I cannot wait girls until you get your hands on this because promise...you will not be able to put it down! And if you're like me...when you leave the house everyones going to be looking at you and asking "Did you put a lot of body glitter on today?" *tee hee* Come on girls...you know it makes you feel prettier!!! LOL....
So....every month I will give you a challenge...this month I am challenging you girls to get down and dirty and create me some NAKED ART!!!!
Here is my example of the challenge with the June "Love Letters" Kit.....
See my big GLITTERED swirlies???? Yes...and it does go with Vintage! So...is that my goal to teach you how to bring these elements together? Yes! And also take notice of the "Sandable Hard Gesso" that I used at the top of the page...and if you look closesly you will see that not only is it nicely aged and stained, but it has a touch of pink glitter too! I am going to be teaching you how to do this with Gesso too. And last but not least my goal this month is also to teach you how to GO NAKED!!!!!! LOL....notice ladies....NO PHOTO!!! I know....I know...I am BAD...but I'm not that bad.....well.....maybe I am....hahahahhahaha...
OK....so what else are we going to be learning this month....a smaller project, but oh! Such a sweet way of learning how to access small leftover scraps of ribbon, lace, embellishments, tiny pieces of paper....to create something this GORGEOUS that will have you being the talk of the town when you wear it....take a look girlies...isn't it CUTE????.....
Inspired from my dire need to use up every single last scrap....it pains me to toss anything, but alas....all my friends want one now...what's a girl to do???? *tee hee*
Our main project this month with the "Love Letters" Kit is a quaint little envelope album that will include instruction to some new ways that I have came up with to age and distress. You will be learning some new techniques that I adored formulating just for this project....*think* a look that is just like the old victorian ceiling tile tins.....orange peel effect with the sparkle and shine of glitter....aging and dying gesso....and so much more....but the beauty of my new direction is that not only will you be learning, but when you are done you have a whole album to treasure!...here is just a sneak peek...
I hope this month has you as fascinated as I am in this artistic journey that we are on.....and I look forward to many more lessons with you as we continue down this wonderful road!
And now...to present you with our full line up of our offerings for this month....it was so much fun putting these art kits together for your pleasure and I also want to take this time to thank all of you girls for such a wonderful response!
