Photos

Here are the photos I have taken of my studio so far.

The studio is a couple hundred year old horse barn that my husband and I have been fixing up for several months now. From the pictures it is hard to tell, but there is a decent amount of space behind my wall to put up tables for classes. There is still some more painting to do in small areas, but it works for now.

Here are a couple photos of projects I have recently done.

This was a project I started at a Demonstrator's class in February, and I finally just got around to finishing it.

Below you will see detail pictures of what extras I did.

I stamped this flower and then used an aqua painter to watercolor the image. I traced the image with a white pen and let it dry. I then added the "It's a Love Thing" rub-on and then used Crystal Effects to make the Apricot Appeal stand out and add dimension. After it dried I cut out the flower and mounted it to my photo with dimensionals.

I also added the "You & Me" rub-on to the photo.

These are coasters I have stamped with Stazon. I plan to color in the images and then seal them to protect the ink.

Thanks for stopping by and check back soon! Happy stamping!
