Had some fun working on Splotch Monster Artist Trading Cards (ATCs or ACEOs) and mini-ATCs recently. Unfortunately the scans didn't properly capture the shiny metallic/glitter watercolor paint effect, so I also took a photo. True ATCs measure at 2.5" x 3.5" and the minis are 1.5" x 2.5". It has been a long time since I've worked on individual Splotch Monsters, and at such a small scale. What I love about ATCs is that you can trade them with other folks who make them, or sell them at a price virtually anybody can afford. About ten years ago I was big into making and trading ATCs all over the world, and have a decent collection now, some of which I should eventually post at my other (Go Flying Turtle) blog someday. You can read more about ATCs and ACEOs HERE.

Всем привет! С Новым годом, дорогие мои! И я предлагаю вам начать год очень приятно и вкусно: в своем первом посте в 2016 я объявлю победителей проекта Mixed Media Courage! Барабанная дробь, фанфары и все такое :) Если серьезно - то я не устану благодарить вас всех за участие в проекте, за красоту которую вы творите, за ваши теплые слова! Полностью все этапы проекта с нами прошли аж 42 человека! На мой взгляд, это просто суперский результат! Честно скажу, мы не ожидали, что так много людей заинтересуются нашим проектом, и это, конечно, безумно вдохновляет! Надеюсь, даже для тех, кто не попадал в ТОПы и не выигрывал призы, этот проект все равно принес много пользы, мотивации и вдохновения. Любите краски и они обязательно ответят вам взаимностью :) Ну а все топы и призы в вашей жизни еще обязательно случатся! Ну и теперь - о тех, чьи работы по итогам проекта нас поразили больше всего. На этот раз мы решили немного изменить механизм распределения призов. Ведь, согласитесь, когда попадаешь в ТОП, а приза не получаешь волею рандома - становится хоть чуточку, но обидно) Поэтому сегодня мы решили выбрать 6 участников, работы которых в совокупности, по всем пяти этапам проекта, нас особенно впечатлили, и разыграть между ними рандомом 6 призов :) С вашего позволения, принтскрины рандома я вставлять не буду для экономии времени своего и вашего (вы же мне верите?)), просто сразу расскажу и покажу наших почетных победителей и награды, которые им достанутся :) Приз от постоянного спонсора проекта магазинчика Hand Made Натальи Нагаевой - сертификат на 500 рублей - получает... №29. Оля Береза Олины работы с самого начала проекта впечатляли нас своим колоритом и нестандартным подходом Оля, поздравляем!

Светины работы завоевали нашу (и, уверена, вашу) любовь не только за красочность, но и за исключительную смысловую наполненность и экспрессивность! Света, поздравляем! Пиши письмо на адрес [email protected] с пометкой "Mixed Media Courage - ФИНАЛ" для получения приза :) Приз от магазина "Арт-Кладовая" - сертификат на сумму 500 рублей на покупку любых скрап-материалов - достается... №36. Nikolka! Наташа сделала по всем этапам серии АТС, каждая из которых невероятно стильная! Наташа, поздравляем! Пиши письмо на адрес [email protected] с пометкой "Mixed Media Courage - ФИНАЛ" для получения приза :) Приз от магазина ScrapEgo - набор материалов производителя достается... №11. Юлии Бушуевой! Юля стала явным завсегдатаем наших топов благодаря ее потрясающим работам :) Юлечка, поздравляем! Пиши письмо на адрес [email protected] с пометкой "Mixed Media Courage - ФИНАЛ" для получения приза :) Спасибо еще раз ОГРОМНОЕ всем, кто участвовал в нашем с Никой проекте, и двойное спасибо - тем, кто прошел его полностью :) Красок вы больше не боитесь, теперь главное - не забрасывать их, дружить с ними и часто с ними работать :) Море вдохновения вам, и до новых встреч!

Next year I will be teaching at Studio Preniac in France for the first time. For those of you who live much further away here is your chance to join me in a beautiful location. Here is the description and contact Studio Preniac to book HERE. The course is more than half full already even though it is a year away so get on with it if you fancy it! Mandy Pattullo: 12th - 19th September 2020: Textile Collage with Many Pattullo. Again, one of the UK’s most popular textile artists and tutors, Mandy Pattullo will bring a series of her most popular courses to Studio Preniac in September 2020 which combine her love of vintage fabrics with observations of the natural world. You will start the week with an introduction to the basic techniques of textile collage before starting a more structured approach with a focus on building up a bird portrait on to a fragment of antique quilt. . We then turn a bit botanical using the seed heads that are around the Preniac as an inspiration for a Seed Heads piece. You will learn to layer up and appliqué backgrounds for your compositions and will use embroidery stitches imaginatively to describe the structure and silhouette of these remains of the summer. Mandy will do many demonstrations through out the week and bring inspirational samples, clear instructions and templates for those who can not draw (!) but she will also remain flexible And if you choose to just remain with one style of working rather than having a go at everything that is fine with her. You can see more of Mandy's work, just follow the link below: See Mandy's Website. This will be Mandy's first to Studio Préniac. Course Cost Ensuite - £1,295 Private bedroom sharing bathroom with one other - £1,195 Sharing a twin ensuite bedroom - £1,095 Non Participating Partner - £ 795 Gites £100 Extra for Single Supplement

My students have been working hard on their Artist Trading Cards for our Swap. I plan the swap early in the year to get them excited about ATC's for their 4th-grade education but after teaching them about quality, cutting their cards and what a card is... there is usually only two or three classes where students create before sending the cards out for the trade. This means there is less choice in ATC's and more exposure to a new medium or process. This year we are doing low relief rubbings. I have seen this project on so many blogs around the world. Some of them include; Art Club Blog, Fine Line, The IB Art School, Sebenta, Art Projects for Kids, Cassie Stephens, and so many other posts, many of which I found on this Pinterest board by Chris Sholl. This is not a new project in the art world... but it sure is to my students in class. They loved creating these amazing little works of art! I supplied each table with a bunch of fun textures to design their card with. We also went outside to gather a leaf... we don't have long and all the leaves will be gone. I instructed the students to create their composition as shown in the video below. My past several lunch breaks have looked like this... me shoving some food in my face, running outside and placing all the cards in these boxes. I quickly spray them and get them in my room by the end of lunch. Whew... mission accomplished... in walks my next class. I place the cards in the class drawer with names up so kids can easily find their cards when they come in the next class. We are working on another type of card on day two, so the rubbing portion of the ATC is done as a station. The station is set up with rubbing mats. I did have to instruct the students how to peel apart the steel wool and remind them they can press too hard. It takes a lot of passes... but pressure is not what you need. I did a "check" before they would be excepted. The cards must be the right size and they must be quality (with abilities of the artist in mind). Students completed the card information and I placed the info. sheet on the back of the cardboard with hot glue. They turned out great and the kids thought this was magic!! I also tried a colored version. I used sharpie marker on the card and did the same rubbing. The effect wasn't as strong as I found the black and white to be. It is a good alternative for students who didn't get a chance to place the tin foil on during the first class.
