Spring ArtFling 2013

Artful Endeavors Spring 2013 ArtFling 

with Gail Schmidt and Liz Miller.  

March 16 and 17, 2013.

Save the date. 

Gail Schmidt from Shabby Cottage Studio and I are ready for our next tag team ArtFling coming up in March, just in time to welcome spring 2013.

The weekend before Thanksgiving I traveled to the beautiful TNN mountains to spend a creative weekend with Gail. We had the best time working/playing in her inspiring art room and turning out some wonderfully fun papers to use for 2 types of art books. And Gail is planning to reveal these fun techniques in her ArtFling class. You can see more photos of these fun papers as you scroll down. 

For my part of the team teaching, I've been inspired by a beautiful photo of spring flowers in an old chair. We'll use some terrific texture products along with easy washes and techniques we'll create this refreshing spring painting. These textures on watercolor paper become the background for our "Spring Greens" painting. Plan to join for a fun and creative weekend.

I'll have more details soon!  

 Gail created these accordian books with her beautiful papers.

And here is the book she created with another of her painted papers. She adorned this book with one of her wonderful "Snippets" the she sells in her Etsy shop. Hopefully she'll bring some with her for us to purchase for our books.

 This is my book from paper that I created. Love the Snippet that I got from Gail!

And my accordion book!

We Ended Summer with an ArtFling

Our Summer's end ArtFling was such fun and our students asked for more. That's success. Gail and I are already planning our next ArtFling for after the first of 2013, maybe Winter's End ArtFling. So plan to join us for more mixed media and acrylic fun.

Summers End ArtFling

Gail will teach some splendid design, mixed media, journal creating techniques.  I've seen her working sample and I want to do that! Just so you know, Gail is artistically fearless and has an awesome design sense that she willingly shares. We always learn so much and have such fun with Gail. She is very creatively inspiring.
I will bring some fabulous different painting techniques including an original new design never before offered.

I'll have more details a little later, but save the dates, Aug 24-26, 2012. It's our ArtFling before fall activities begin.
