If you have never played with resin you are in for some fun. Resin itself is
completely versatile, but this instructor finds resin paper transformative. A
seemingly simple piece of paper or tissue will become altered in so many ways.
We will make resin paper from many different types of sheeting to create a
wearable story book pendant. We will be cutting copper sheet to make a name
plate, stamp words into copper, insert eyelets into our paper, weave ribbons
and memorabilia into layers of paper and then construct a necklace with Vintaj
chain and findings. Resin paper and project will be completed in class.


The Creative Painting show in Las Vegas was great!

I had a really talented group of students in my class. They did a great job.

The show was just as fun. And yes, I did drop a few dollars there! However, it was all Christmas present wood blanks for family and friends this year. I got the coolest 10 point deer head clothes hanger to paint up for my brother. He is going to love that.
This is one of the few types of shows, Tole and Decorative painting shows, where these type of things can be found. You just do not find this kind of thing. I also bought about 30 teeny, I mean teeny, wooden paint brushes. These are for my little bead embroidery pendant kits I plan to make. Painting these will be such fun.
