Mixed Media Class

Mixed media ... no rules but you still have to know the rules!

I just finished a class with three teachers on their summer break.
They have met with me every summer now for 6 years.

The mixed media project I set up for them this year resulted in three very different images. I supply all the materials, glue, ephemera, and hints to get them started on their projects. I wish we had longer but they have fun and that is their goal.

I started my own and I love the background but helping them was my main focus so I fluttered around the studio offering advice and hints as they worked through thier ideas.

The studio looks like a bomb went off .... but that will be tomrorrwo's project.
I am going to wash out the brushes and head for home.

Hope you are doing something fun!!
