A Romantic Journey on Canvas
July 16 - August 26
Join me for my session two workshop inspired by my love of collecting and working with beautiful lace, beaded trims and vintage jewelry, while joyfully creating in my most favorite romantic time-worn aesthetic. I will teach you how to prepare your canvas while working with multiple mediums that produce the effects of time and old world charm. I will also show you how to produce textured effects and layering. As you complete each project, your canvas work will be dimensional, romantic, time-worn and meaningful. We'll be developing our projects with added embellishments and layers of clay and other mediums that will build out your themes until your canvases appear as if they are relics from a by–gone era.
We will create 3 projects on canvas; Corseted Tutu, Vintage Glamour, and Angelique.

Mixed Media & Bridal Jewelry Collage

I thought I would share two of the collage photo's that I created using photo's of my mixed media and bridal jewelry designs.  My technical skills are not up to date and it takes me FOREVER to figure this sort of stuff out ~ I used Picasa to get this far.

I'm off to play a little bit more to see what else I can learn. :)

My flea market finds today...

I took a quick trip to the Alemany Flea Market early this morning and found some wonderful items waiting to be repurposed into new little story pieces of jewelry ~ A beautiful vintage carved rosary, spiritual medals ~

LOVE the French one!


An awesome Victorian Chatelaine Coin Purse...German?

Vintage metal chain belt, BLING!

Large silver filigree flower brooch, Art Nouveau and Deco Findings ~ Vintage Repousse Crown!
Can you guess what the four items are in the second photo? I gazed upon these vintage aluminum chunky pieces and I knew how I would use them in a future project. :)


I love these fork pendants!


Chunky antique brass belt...just what I was looking for!

Swoon ~ Mother of Pearl Choker and another pearl collar to add to my growing collection ~

The thrill of the hunt and the next awesome find waiting to be discovered is what it's all about!
