Texture class samples

         

These are some samples from the online class I'm taking with Linda Monk and Carol McPhee at http://www.fibreinform.com  I have spent hours playing with molding paste, gesso, stencils, tyvek, tsl, gel mediums, puff paints, quink ink, bleach and various paints and rub on metallics and more.  It's all about making textures on fabric or canvas. I've used scrims, linens, silk and cotton or whatever I found in my stash. The ideas being generated from this class are overwhelming and will be the base for many experiments to come. They will have another class as well and promise to teach even more techniques. There is a yahoo group for sharing amongst the participants that  spark even more ideas. The relief figure on the copper and brown piece was made with paper towels formed over a glass perfume bottle, then  back filled with tsl and baked to make it rigid before painting and melding onto the background. The faces were made from polymer clay from molds I made from statues, mostly from thrift stores. Almost 2 weeks left in the class and know I will not finish everything but can work on my own pace. I highly reccomend the class.

Hello Terry, today our kind postman Billy brought the big envelope from Beate. As you joined the ornamentswap from Beate and Probablywill get a parcel as well: there is my holly in your ornamentswapbunch (this was my first swap so I didn't consider to attach labels), the story behind the holly you can read on my new blog www.scents-and-senses.blogspot.com. I love my bunch, everything is so gorgeous (even if I didn't get a choir lady!) Cheers from Ireland, Eliane
