Photos from my Mixed Media Class at Kaiser Browns Plains
 

Love this shot of Sam Techer proving she can eat and do a class LOL Heat Gun in one hand Sushi in the other .


Oh and there is me in the corner with my hair down well not really in a pony tail Not sure what we are all looking at . Was agreat day with a great bunch of Ladies thank you to all who attended .
 
Hi again how time has flown lately . I have been busy Teaching mixed Media classes ,but still had time to do some classes with Finnabair when she was in Brisbane . I really enjoyed these classes . I have a few pages I havent post here yet as I havent had time to take photos before hanging them in the shops . Poor excuse I know . I also had a problem with my eye last week my grandson poked me in the eye and it developed into an ulcer trip to two hospitals to have it treat I could see out of my eye for several days it all good now and all my sight has returned.Aynway I had a play this afternoon and made a She Art Canvas so her it is .
 


These canvases are so much fun to do . I love my Prima Mixed Media doll stamps they make she art so easy , with this one I have scrunched up tissue paper and glued it under the dress to make it pop up doesnt show up in photo .The shimmer isnt showing up to great either but it still looks great .

Well hello everyone can you see the big smile on my face Its because of the great weekend I had .
Yes you guessed it I spent the weekend learning How Finnabair creates her amazing mixed media projects . I had a really great time and learnt a lot and got to play with products I have never used before . It was really hot all weekend here in Brisbane and for the first time since I got my solar hot water on I can say it is Sunny Queensland .The weather didnt stop anyones eagerness to learn. There where some ladies there that had come all the way from Lismore for the classses and one from NZ . I asked her why she didnt just wait for Finn to get to NZ as it was next on her tour . The Lady said she was only doing two classes at the NZ leg of the tour and she wanted to do all four so she came to Brissy to do them. Now thats dedicated . 
 



Me and Finn , Iam your bigest fan follow you untill you love me !!!!LOl


Some of my Facebook friends Tina Connelly , Nicole Nopke ,Julia AKA Mumma Bear, Allison Bevis. Yeah I know I am looking a bit wierd in the back there .
 
Finn doesnt use paint trays she just uses her hand to mix colour on so Tina and I followed suit in true Finn style ..

I will add photos of my finished creations in the next couple of days . Stay tuned and stay safe Shazza

I didnt get to bed untill 1oclock but very happy . First up  is a photo of one of my canvases I did in the first She Art  class I taught and used as my demo  .

Hi all well doesnt time get away with you  well me it does anyway.LOL thought Id share a box I have made for a friend . I have used the same technique as I used on my journals that where from a few posts ago .
 
 


I have used paper flowers metal embelishments and wooden embelishments on a bought box .


 '

I have used Gesso and Shazzas magic mica mists and Gold Rub & Buff .


 '
I have used Tim Holtz foundation feet and knob .



I love how with this technique nothing has to match You can use silver charms bronze wooden or chipboard and it all matches in the end .


Having a play was just what I needed to destress me any way stay safe untill next time >
