Joanne Sharpe is always a happy girl !
Amy Rubman had beautiful chain mail jewelry

***********
There was just much too much to put in one little blog so...I'll show you some more of yesterdays art work in Andrea Matus deMengs class...
Andrea is a phenomenal teacher...
she's shakin' and stirring...it's the Dremel Dance !
and from todays class came more amazing work..
'Suspended Souls'
this one was done by Jean Rubman (Amys mom)..and is my personal favorite..
my own piece took an inspirational path
it began simply with collage and a B/W face...
then we started the painting process. I've actually never experienced 'painting' before....not like this anyway. We learned how to take away 'the look of stickers' just being glued on a page.
We had to be willing to let go of pre-conceived ideas because, in the end, the piece was going to take on an entirely new life. It's best not to get attached to or fall in love with what you just did !!!
because.....after refreshing it many more times we began the BIG embellishment transformation.
I am over the moon wth this piece and when I get home I will 'suspend' it from a frame with chain.
here are a few others from todays class.
tomorrow I am taking the last of Andreas classes....that's how much I LOVE her work.
Tomorrows piece will be B-I-G...12x24...be prepared !
see ya then...
Thank you Suze for the wonderful Art-is posts. I am sick that I couldn't come this year, although I managed to sneak into Michael's class over at Kecia's. I, too LOVE Andrea's work. - I love images with the color and texture....swoooon! -hopefully she will teach next year as well. Great job on your pieces. I am eagerly anticipating seeing your completed piece from today's workshop.
