Today's I am sharing this Spring Album I made. I signed up for a class taught by Prima's Educator
Frank Garcia I wanted to learn more about mixed media. Something I steered far away from because it seemed to complicated. Frank encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone.......and I am happy I did. But I did warn him that I was not a very good student......I usually veered the other way and always did my own thing, my way.
I do not know why I never started using modeling paste, or gesso before. I have a feeling from now on these will be used on everyone of my projects....THANK YOU FRANK!
I loved all the details on the cover. I used
Prima's 12x12 flourish stencil, modeling paste, and applying it with a mini scraper right on Prima's
resist mixed media canvas album. Using my heating tool, I made sure the paste was dry before I applied colored mist sprays.
How about Prima's
flowers? I think because they are handmade that it sets them apart from the rest. They are just gorgeous.I used Natures Garden paper collection by Jodi Lee Designs for Prima.
Here is the 1st page of the album. I really like the
wood embellishments I used. I embossed them with cooper glitter to make them pop.
Here is Franks album. His work is amazing, and I highly recommend his classes. We all loved how very detailed he was, and must say how generous he was with all the product we all got. Every student went home extremely happy having signed up for his class. THANKS Frank for inspiring me to get out of my comfort zone. So glad that I did!
You can find Frank teaching just about everywhere these days.......his classes are listed on his
blog. Also check out his online
Paperhaus magazine, Prima's blog, and dont forget their Ustream to see all his work.
Thanks for stopping by......see you real soon.
