I have been away for a couple of days this week doing some workshops at Graphicus. The first one we did was a Tag book and wes more technique driven with the finished book being more a by-product of trying different techniques on tags. Anyone who is a fan of Tim Holtz will be familiar with the type of stuff we were doing - playing with Distress inks, blending them with Cut N Dry foam, adding water, etc. We also did some techniques with the Adirondack Acrylic Paint Daubers which included an image transfer - that was fun and I was pleased at how well my image came out.
When we had done we bound all our tags into a book so now we have that as useful referrence work to remind us of how to do all the techniques we tried.I have not finished the other project we did on Thursday - that involved working with Stampbord - but I have all my stuff home with me now and plan to take the time to finish it properly over the next few days.
I am so envious. I would love to have some time at Graphicus. You make some fab stuff while you're there, like these yummy tags. Must be much better than just seeing a few minutes here and there on the box.

Oh they are gorgeous! I'd love to make something like this. I need some more inky techniques in my armoury.
ReplyDeleteYour tags look brilliant Phree. I wish I'd had time to look at them IRL and I'm not surprised with your image transfer. I have to have another go at mine because there's still loads of backing on there. I hope it comes out as well as yours.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your Stampbord creation after seeing the lovely 'bits' you had done.
I tried to email you this morning but it kept coming back as a failed message. Have you changed your email addy? Drop me a quick line when you get chance.
