Lots to catch up on here!!
I just love using silhouettes and stencils in my work. (But you knew that...) Well, I am going to share my knowledge and enthusiasm on April 5th at The Ink Pad. (Actually, in their big Westbeth Studio space!)
Here's a video preview of the class in which I created the art journal page above right. Hope you can join me!
(You can also watch Stencils & Silhouettes on You Tube here.)
Next, I spent a wonderful day in NYC with my friend Marjie Kemper on Sunday.
We walked along the Highline from Westbeth up to W. 26th street, enjoying the balmy weather (we were nearly skipping with joy after this crazy winter) and stopping into 20+ studios and galleries as part of the Highline Open Studios tour. Although we saw some work we liked, we also remarked about how amazing the artwork is in our little community. Seriously! For example, look at the exquisite journal piece Marjie created right after our day in the city.
On Marjie's blog, she details how she made it.
When I drove into the city, I found a great parking spot on Horatio Street right in front of a beautiful townhouse that is for sale. Marjie and I had a lot of laughs as I pretended that this will be my new home. (Hey - a girl can dream!)
We checked out my "new neighborhood" and found a really sweet restaurant called "The Hudson Cafe" which will definitely be one of our go to places next time we take or teach a class at The Ink Pad. (When I got home, I looked it up to see the asking price of this townhouse... only $4.75 million.... definitely have to up my teaching schedule!)
Mary Beth Shaw's newest stencil designs for Stencil Girl's Stencil Club are coming out on 3/15. Here's a sneak peak at a piece I'm working on with her gorgeous designs from February 2014.
And the great thing about Stencil Club is once you join, you can go back and order past designs at the club price.
This design is for One Little Word - so check back on 3/15 for a post about this project with a video of my process!
Plus, this is going to be a BIG month for One Little Word -- there will be two "words up" and lots of prizes.
Last bit of news -- are you with me? I started a Meetup group for art classes in my home studio. The next class is April 12th - making mini masterpieces using tags. Here's the link to join my group (it's free to join) so you can find out about upcoming classes. Class size is limited to 8 people, and they fill up fast! I hope you'll join me!
That's it for now. Thanks for stopping by!
Your comments make me so happy and let me know you were here. I read and treasure every comment and will happily answer any questions as soon as I can.
