Mixed Media Fun
Good Evening!
On Monday nights we hold Art Journalling classes in our workroom. (the class is full but we are taking names for the next group. Please register your interest)
The starter kit is awesome (even if I do say so myself). Everyone received a tote, gel medium, mixed media sampler kit from Faber Castell, 3 different background stamps + lots more. (the kit ended up being worth just over $120!) But the main item in the kit is the beautiful Dyan Reavely Art Journal.
These journals are so beautiful that there is actually a certain Lady (you know who you are Mrs P!) who is extremely hesistant to use it. She just wants to look, feel and smell it! But she has promised next week one page MIGHT get covered with some gesso 🙂
The whole kit + 6 weeks of classes costs $175.00 and is taught by the extremely talented Jenny. Her main aim is to push us all outside of our comfort zone and not to think.
We have a couple more Journals in stock – they are not listed online so please contact me if you would like to own one. They retail for $29.99
One of my favourite items to use on all mixed media has to be the Gelatos. Have you ever tried them? We have all the mix and match sets in stock (both online and in store).
Here is a short video demonstrating one of many techniques…
Aren’t they awesome?? There are many more techniques as well…I have a box of the colours in our workroom if you would like to see / touch them.
As well as the full gift box we also stock all of the mix and match sets. They can be found online by clicking here.
Also in stock or 2 different sizes of Pitt Pens. There is the skinny ones and the big brush. They can be found here.
New on the Web: Along with the gelatos and Pitt pens we have also just uploaded the Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers.
If you are looking for calligraphy pens, we do have various ones available from Faber-Castell but they are not listed online, just give me a ring / e-mail or drop in to the shop.
Wishing you all a very creative week….I need to try and finish 9 ATC cards by tomorrow night for a swap I’m in….
Diamond Dust and Alcohol Inks
Diamonds are a girls best friend….and that is proving to be true for me and my relationship with Diamond Dust! I have been using plenty of it and love the added effect it gives to layouts and BTP projects. I have just come across a you tube video showing how to colour using alcohol inks. Imagine the posibilites……
We now have Diamond Dust in store. It costs $5.25 for 85 gr (that’s a lot of diamond dust!). Postage to outside of Geraldton would be $5.60 due to the jar unless you would like me to pour it into a zip lock bag and then it would only be $1 postage. You can then store it in any jar you have at home.
Have you made anything with Diamond Dust?
