Magenta's new summer catalog is at Art 'n Soul, just waiting for you to peruse through it and make up an order if you haven't done so already. We order weekly from Magenta.
At Art 'n Soul today, more watercolor card stock from a new distributor for us, CF2. Please note there are only 4 paks of the hot press watercolor card stock and only 5 pads of the Yupo paper, so if that's what you're looking for . . . run, please, to Art 'n Soul!
This past weekend's classes with Terry Medaris were so inspiring and fun. The last class he taught was the first class of its kind, jewelry making. While we learned Terry's technique in combination with his stamp designs and the use of Prismacolor colored pencils, Terry learned about the Inchie Arts' Inchies and Art Squares. We love it when an instructor learns about products we carry at Art 'n Soul!
All of these are considered photos of works-in-progress by the students.

So you can see how we took a stamp
design, colored a portion of it that was slightly
larger than the glass piece, and then cut out
with an Xacto-knife to fit under the glass. |
 |
Now you have another way to look
at the stamp designs to find an 'abstract'
way to section a piece of it for a bezel-set
glass tile in any size or shape. |
There is a high probability that the names under
the photos may be mixed up; the works from the
two classes kind of melded together and my
memory that day wasn't the best! My apologies.
Terry is such an artist. He repeatedly told us he was not a stamper, he only makes rubber stamps from his art work. The following are "doodles and sketches" that he keeps in a stack of white copy paper that he works from in a very casual way. We were quite in awe at the level of detail and very fine lines in some of the work. It's amazing what a real artist can do with a black micron pen and a piece of white paper you put through your copy machine!
With Terry's permission, here is a sampling of what we saw; not all of them are in finished form:

On the Memory Box blog, Sherry Hester has shared a lovely card. While the colors are cheerful, they're certainly soft.

That's it for today. I didn't have a posting yesterday, so I am sending this 'birthday wish' a day late to our own Marj Marion. She and her husband, who also has a birthday this month, will be celebrating both of their birthdays with a trip to the Oregon coast next week. Marj, we wish you all of the best, always!
Thanks so much for stopping by today . . . we'll see you soon!
