Oh, have we got a treat for you this month as far as the Special Guest is concerned! It is no secret that the scrapbooking community is composed by mainly female designers, but we do have a few very talented male artists out there who are not afraid to shine in a mostly feminine world. We are so happy to introduce to you today... Antonis Tzanidakis is a world-known artist! You may already know him for his incredible mixed media art that include fabulous handmade home decor and beautiful work on wood. When he is not at home creating, he is travelling around the world offering workshops to teach others new ways to create. We are thrilled that he accepted our invitation to be our September Guest! Let's learn a little more about Antonis through his own words: I'm Antonis, a mixed media artist from Greece. I studied to be a Captain in the Navy and used to be a professional basketball player, but at some moment in my life, somehow I found this art, this hobby. I started practicing my art alone and continued alone until now. I started a few workshops in my hometown of Lefkada, later around the country of Greece, and then very soon made my way around the world. It never crossed my mind that I would someday travel the world to teach art as a living, but this is my life now... and I love it! As I often say, 'Life is a mixed media project!' You can visit Antonis at the following links: FACEBOOK HANDMADE FANTASY PAGE FACEBOOK PERSONAL PROFILE HANDMADE FANTASY ONLINE WORKSHOP WEBSITE Here is a reminder of our September FEARLESS & GRUNGE Main Challenge followed by Antonis' stunning project inspired by it. Read below as Antonis describes in his own words how he was inspired by our word and how he chose to incorporate our creative challenge: FEARLESS... I think I was fearless all my life. And it was mostly that characteristic in my personality that helped me to become the artist that I am today because you need to be fearless and try to mix things and take the challenge. You need to be fearless if you want to take your art to a whole other level! You can recognize that the style of my project goes very well with the word and also the GRUNGE creative challenge which is very much a style that I love in my every day art. I was inspired by this challenge and also by myself as I am both fearless and grungy. Antonis' mixed media canvas is the perfect take on our September challenge. We love all the masculine and dark grungy elements to it and the different textures and techniques that he used. Take a closer look with us at all the details: A big THANK YOU to Antonis for joining us as our September Special Guest! We hope that you will take inspiration from Antonis' creation and that you will play along with our September Main Challenge. You have until September 30th to link up!
When it comes to art, the introduction of technology into this creative world has only served to make it better. With social media and digital media playing a
Thank you, Mr. Brown! Our favorite "Mr. Brown" (aka UPS) just delivered the Pan Pastel order. If you put a pink sheet order together, I'm sure Dianne will be calling you soon if she hasn't already! Fabriano cards and envelopes are now being restocked at Art 'n Soul. I'm packaging them as a card with envelope set. The 6.75"x4.5" and 5.25"x3.5" sets will be at the store today; the 4.75"x4.75" sets will be at the store tomorrow. Els with Elizabeth Craft Designs is in her final stages of prepping for the classes at Art 'n Soul on Sunday. The only class that has a couple of spots left is the 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. class . . . using Shimmer Sheetz to make a jewelry pendant and a mosaic cover. Call the store asap! to sign up (360.357.6528) . . . we've waited 2 years for Els to teach at Art 'n Soul and it's actually happening this coming Sunday. These pics are examples of what Els will be teaching at this class. I had a goof, and this is my 'fix it up' card. I masked and stamped the Magenta flower stamp in 2 colors of Versafine, and colored in with the Prismacolor colored pencils. I added a bird die-cut from one of my Memory Box dies. Pretty easy fix instead of sending the boo-boo to 'bad-card heaven"! by Debbie Gaetz From Magenta's blog . . . "A colored image... just like magic! Today, I'm gonna show you an acetate card. It's a good old technique, revisited. To do so, I used: - a piece of acetate (or transparent plastic) - white cardstock - a card - Permanent Ink - Pencils to color the stamp (I used Touchs) - Adirondack Inks - Magenta Stamp Susie & Benjamin go to school [42.077.O] - a box. Here's what I did... It's very simple.... I stamped my image on the acetate, and on the white cardstock. I colored my image. On the Box, I fixed a wide green band of paper to hide the colored image. Then I glued the acetate on the top of the card, and I slided it over the green and decorated the acetate. This way when we pull the card the image becomes colored... just like magic! I'll use it to put a teacher's gift... a gift certificate or a jewelry. Have a good day!" Edith - DT Magenta From Penny Black's blog . . . I really like the simplicity of it! by Jenyfur Pohl "SUPPLIES and TECHNIQUE: Free Flight 30-117. I punched a square into cardstock and used it as a mask to ink a one-layer square onto my cardfront. I then removed the mask and added butterflies and sentiments." I didn't have a chance to go to the store yesterday afternoon to take pics of Susie's sample book for her new class in August. I plan to do that tomorrow so I can show you her latest "fave" technique on sanded wood to make a darling book. When you see it, you're going to want to sign up for this class . . . I am! From Graphic 45, these people really thought outside the 'box'! Wait until you see what's inside the armoire! and then you're gonna go "wow!" when you see the ukelele! Instead of using glue on the paper strips, I like that they used score-tape. "This first amazing creation was made by Jim, The Gentleman Crafter. It's a gorgeous Tag Armoire that is all decked out in lovely Tropical Travelogue. Jim's crafts are always ultra-inspiring and filled with clever ideas. This vibrant armoire is simply incredible! Want to know how it was made? Jim has created a fun tutorial that takes you step by step through the creative process! Get ready to be wowed, G45ers! We proudly present Jim, The Gentleman Crafter, and his magnificent Tropical Travelogue tag armoire and tutorial! Take it away, Jim! Tag Armoire This cool armoire will store all your tags. It has two storage drawers, and a secret place to stash more tags. This is a chipboard heavy project as each piece listed below is doubled. This means, for every piece I cut a sister piece that I bonded together with adhesive to give the armoire a bit more structural integrity. Ok, Let’s get started…. As always, please read through the entire pattern before you start. Materials: Graphic 45 Tropical Travelogue Paper Collection Graphic 45 Metal Tags Graphic 45 Metal Button Brads Graphic 45 Hinges (larger) Idea‐o‐logy Metal Foundation Legs 2 3 x3 Idea‐ology Configuration Boxes 2 1‐1/2 x 3 Idea‐ology Configuration Boxes Medium Weight Chipboard Kraft Cardstock Adhesive of choice Scor‐Tape Black acrylic paint 1/8‐inch wooden dowel 4 1 Inch wooden Balls Mini wooden clothes pins Idea‐ology hangers Preparation: Step 1: Cut two each of the chipboard to the dimensions below: All chipboard pieces will be doubled meaning, double the thickness by cutting two of everything and gluing them together. Base Box Top and Bottom‐ 4 ‐3/4 x 9 Sides –2 ‐1/4 x 4‐3/4 Back‐ 2‐1/4 x 9 Front Piece‐ 1‐3/8 x 2 ¼ Interior left and right Pieces – 2 x 4‐1/2 Middle Piece‐ 4‐ 5/8 Drawers Base Piece‐ 3 x 4‐1/2 Back Piece‐ 3 x 1‐3/4 Front Piece‐ 3 x 1 7/8 Armoire Body Back Piece‐ 9 x 10‐1/4 Side Pieces‐ 4‐3/4 x 10‐1/4 Top and Bottom Piece‐ 4‐7/8 x 9 Doors‐ 4‐1/2 x 10‐1/8 Decorative Door Pieces‐ 3‐1/2 x 9 Interior Door Jam Piece‐ 1 x 8‐3/4 Base Piece for bottom of Armoire Body‐ 5‐1/4 x 9‐1/4 Top Crown Base Piece‐ 5‐1/4 x 9‐1/4 Top Pieces (2) 5 x 5‐1/4 Angled Pieces‐ 2 x 9 Step 2: Pair up your chip pieces and apply your favorite adhesive to the face of one side of each of the sets. Adhere the sets together. Box Base Step 1: With the sidepiece, apply wet glue to the long side. Line this up with the bottom piece and hold it in place until the glue sets. Repeat with other side as well as the back piece. Step 2: Making structure strips. With a 12 x 12 piece of Kraft or cardstock, cut 1‐inch strips from the sheet. Next, score the strip in half and apply Scor‐Tape to the left and right side of the score line, making sure not to cover the score. Make several of these in advance so they will be at hand when needed. Step 3: Cut your structure strip down to the size of the left and right side and one for the back. Prefold the structure strip forming a 90‐degree angle. Pull the tape backing and apply to the outside edges where the pieces were joined together. This again with add integrity to the box and hold it together. Step 4: Apply wet glue to the two small front pieces; align with edge and adhere. There are three interior pieces. Two that are exactly the same size and one that is a 1/8 longer. The longer piece will go in the middle and the two interior sidepieces are glued to the edge of the small 1‐ 3/8 x 2‐1/4 piece. Starting with the sidepieces glue the length of the bottom and the two short sides. Adhere these two pieces in between the front piece and back piece as well as the bottom. Next, with a ruler find the center between these two interior sidepieces. With a pencil mark the mid point on the front edge and the back. Apply glue to the bottom and back of the middle piece and glue into place. Once glue sets, Go back with the structure strips a support the glued interior pieces. Step 5: Have the box top ready; apply the wet glue to the top of all upright edges and interior pieces. Line up top piece and adhere to base pieces. The Drawers Step 1: Using the bottom drawer piece, glue one of the small and large configuration boxes to it the chipboard base piece, making sure they aligned. Once the glue has set, apply the front and back drawer pieces to the boxes. Step 2: Paint all edges of the base and drawers with black paint. Once paint has dried mat the front, bottom, back and sides with cardstock. Step 3: Repeat the step above matting all flat surfaces with cardstock. Once done, find the center of the drawer front and mark. Now, mark 1/16 on each side of the center mark. Use a craftpiercing tool and pierce through all layers of chipboard and cardstock in the two holes each side of the center mark. Insert a Graphic 45 Button Brad. Repeat for other drawer. Armoire Body Step 1: Pull the back and sidepieces from your Chipboard pile. Next, lay the back down on a flat surface; using wet glue again, glue sidepieces to back. Let the glue set. Apply structure strips to all right angles. Step 2: Once the body of the armoire is dry, measure down 2 inches from the top and find the center. Mark. Next, using a piercing tool or a Crop‐O‐Dile punch a 1/8‐inch hole on the mark. Do this on each of the topsides. This is for the tag rod. Step 3: Cut a length of dowel to 9”. Paint black. Once dry apply wet glue to the end and insert the dowel from the interior into each of the pre‐punched holes. Step 4: Stand the body piece on end and apply wet glue to the edges. Set bottom piece on top of the glued edges and align. Apply structure stip to edge to support. Step 5: Repeat step above for the top piece. Door Jam Step 1: Apply glue to the top, left and right of the door jam piece. Set into place in between the top left and right side pieces, just below the top edge. The Doors Step 1: Paint all door pieces with black paint and allow to dry. Step 2: Prepare the doors for the hinges by temporarily installing the doors onto the armoire body. Mark 1 inch down from the top and one inch up from the bottom on each of the door fronts and body piece. This will allow for easy placement later. Once marked, using a craft knife cut a 1/8‐inch x 1‐inch long slot for the Graphic 45 hinge to fit flush against the armoire. Install the hinge with long brads. Step 3: Take the front decorative door pieces and cover the front with patterned paper. Turn over and apply score tape to the backside. Pull tape backing and adhere to front door piece, centering piece on door panel. Step 4: Insert a Graphic 45 button brad into the keyhole of a small Graphic 45 Metal tag. Fold arms of brad back against the tag. Glue tag assembly to the door front at 4” down from the top decorative door piece edge and over 1/8 from the right side of the decorative door piece. Repeat all steps for other door. Step 5: Apply Scor‐Tape to the bottom of the armoire and adhere bottom base piece to bottom of armoire. Once done again apply Scor‐tape to the Bottom base piece. Pull tape and adhere to the preassembled Base. Step 6: Mat all sides of the armoire body with patterned paper. Step 7: Paint the 4 wooden 1” balls with gold or copper paint. Once dry, dab Espresso alcohol ink onto the balls. Glue the balls to the top of the four‐armoire body corners. Crown Top Piece Step 1: Paint all edges of Crown with black paint. Step 2: Starting with the base piece, mark a line on the top ½ in from each of the longer sides. Next, cut two pieces of 6 x 1 strips of chipboard and glue them down aligned them with the marks on the base piece. Step 3: Apply wet glue to the long edge of the angled piece and adhere to the outside (front) edge of the chipboard strip. Allow to dry. Step 4: Apply wet glue to the left side of the angled top piece. Starting with the left side top piece, adhere to angled piece. Step 5: Cut a structure strip the same length of the top piece, and pull the tape backing from one side. Apply the strip to the glued top piece at the right topside. Step 6: Pull the tape backing from the remainder of the structure strip. Align the second top piece with the other top piece. Once aligned, secure structure strip to right side top piece. This is the secret storage compartment for the armoire. By lifting the “roof lid” you can store extra tags. Step 7: Paint interior of the storage space with black paint. Step 8: Apply Scor‐Tape to the bottom of the top piece and pull the tape backing. Align with armoire body and adhere. Step 9: Mat all sides of the top piece. Embellishing the Armoire I like clean lines so I never embellish as much as others. I decided to use the metal tags to accent the armoire. I measured and cut small pieces of paper to place just inside the tags decorative ridges. Once this was done I adhered these four pieces to the doors of the armoire. To hang the tags onto the rod, I used Tim Holtz idea‐ology hanger and wooden mini clothespins. It’s a wonderful way to store these tags or display them by leaving the doors open. Voila! Your Tag Armoire is Done! Wow, wasn't that great!? This next amazing Tropical Travelogue creation was made by Denise Hahn. It's an altered ukulele! This wonderful piece is so inspiring! What a clever way to cherish your precious photos! Denise used fun photos of an island adventure as well as lots of beautiful embellishments with the fabulous Tropical Travelogue papers! This piece is so inspiring! It really gets the creative gears turning! Take a look at these wonderful photos and imagine creating a piece like this of your very own! Altered art also makes a wonderful personalized gift. There are so many possibilities!

2017 Topic 8: Assemblage Gerard Collas Welcome everyone, Darcy here with another topic introduction. this one is so quirky and open to limitless interpretation that you are guaranteed to have fun. This topic really does follow on from our last one. Assemblages are a cross between collage and sculpture, they incorporate found objects and purposefully bought elements. Before we start, let's see who won the Topic 7: Found Objects Challenge... The winner of Found Objects is: Chris from Loops and Lines Email Darcy to claim your prize. [email protected] I think 3d collage is the very best description for this genre of artistic expression. As with our found objects topic we owe a lot to the artists of the 20th century for giving this style a name and a definition. Artists such as Pabloc Picasso, Jean Dubuffet and Marcel Duchamp are all early exponents of this eclectic style. Here is Duchamps 'Bicycle' from 1951. Marcel Duchamp Assemblage requires a 'process' and that is the act of putting 'things' together to create a new object. From the start the style has had a slightly grungy edge to it, this is down to the components often being discarded or found objects. But there is a skill to this art style, one cannot just throw objects together, they much flow and have some harmony. this means when using found objects they should be carefully selected, just being 'found' is not enough. think about colour, shape, scale, theme.. Modern artists are still very much enamoured with this style. What do you think of this one, is it art to you? it is very much an assemblage, but the elements are very different to ones that crafters may choose. Here you can see a mattress, a cardboard coffin, a clothing rail etc. I am not sure that many craft companies will be bringing out a range of mattresses to cut up just yet, so let's look at something smaller. More vintage, but this time with a quirky twist and modern elements. Stephanie Rubiano Wings seem to feature a lot in assemblage art, they are a great way to add dimension and look great on things that would never usually have wings. Lindsay Mason Wings leads us nicely to birds, these are another heavily used element in assemblage art. They can range from real, stuffed, whimsy or outright quirky. Kim Collister How about these for quirky dudes, I adore how these have been made in tins for bodies and I may have squealed a little bit at the tiny spanner arms! Just too cute and jam packed full of details and personality. Could you use a little friend like this for your studio? Jen Hardwick This video has some great ideas for small box assemblages. This next piece is by Shirley Vauvelle, follow the link to see other fabulous pieces by her using ceramics and driftwood, aren't they a great combination? Shirley Vauvelle Perhaps you don't have space for a large 3D object, you can of course make any size that you want. However about keeping it fairly flat. you can see that this book cover does not take up as much room, but it is still very much 3d, and has had thought put into the assemblage of the elements. Georgie C Another almost flat but not really piece is this wonderful collection, carefully curated and framed it would be a wonderful piece of wall art. Bridget Hoff This next piece is so inspiring, a double spoon. Vintage, discarded objects, beautifully coloured and brought together. Trash to treasure. Branka How about some jewellery, you would never be late with a necklace like this. Recycloanalist ooh quirky dangly bits! One of these would look wonderful on an evening bag. Elizabeth Rosen This is something so simple but so effective, it is a take on papier mache. To achieve this look dip threads, yarns or strips of text into a glue and water mix and lay them over your desired shape. You can free form them or use a mould, but make sure to wrap your mould with plastic wrap first. once dried you can create your assembled suclpture. Janilaine Mainprize Some interesting thoughts on Assemblage from Gary Reef. How cute is this lil guy, bags or rather tins of personality. I just love the shoe brush hair, lol BranMixArt One last one, just because I love the use of wooden spoons. I may have to raid the kitchen draws! Can you imagine a tree like this filled with Zinski characters! Edwina Bridgeman So how will you join in, have we inspired you? I hope so, this is such a fun theme. you can raid your garages,sheds and drawers, mix and match old and new. use up embellishments, broken jewellery, cardboard, wood, grungeboard. How about adding paper beads or stamped images. Don't forget Seth Apter's wood chips, they would be perfect for adding to your sculpture. Don't forget to follow Darcy and Leandra's Pinterest boards if this topic pushes your buttons, you will see plenty more examples to whet your appetite there! I am really looking forward to seeing what you create over the next 2 weeks! ~ Darcy We hope that you learn something interesting from our blog.

Per Fronth, born 1963, is an internationally reknowned Norwegian artist, represented by museums and galleries worldwide. His works are in the permanent collections of Museum of Modern Art, Wakayama, Japan, Biblioteque Nationale, Paris, Sørlandet Kunstmuseum, Norway, as well as in numerous private collections, like Sting & Trudie Styler and former US Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize Laurate Al Gore, MGM Grand , The Cosmopolitan, Las Vegas, Grand Hyatt New York, and NATO. Fronths storylines often focuses on the challenging aspects of the Human Condition. He has produced many controversial – and yet successful exhibitions, like the Xingu Chronicles, New York, 1998 about the peoples of the brazilian rainforest fight for their deserved rights over their own land, BLOODLINES, London, 2000, focusing on the now outlawed English foxhunt with Prince Charles – and the successful Theatre of War, addressing the struggle of exporting western democracy by the gun in war-torn Afghanistan. His reocurring series Archipelago draws its inspiration from his own childhood by the coastline in Southern Norway. Per Fronth works with photography as his raw-material, creating photography as paintings; with representation of reality through the medium photography as only one of his works components, making his art a unique voice in contemporary art. Not the least has his background as a former photojournalist in Verdens Gang, Norways largest daily, with worldstage as his backdrop, formed his visual point of view, his thematic storylines – and his artistic output. Fronth produces works in large format – and has over the last few years concentraded on monumental commissioned artworks and projects.

I had some time to myself today and I made a layout and art journal page, both with the July My Scrapbook Nook kit. I have another two pages planned for my art journal and will be working on them this evening. I should be continuing with PL but LOVE art journalling that little bit more at the moment. I can still do PL tomorrow! Here is my art journal page. I show you the layout tomorrow. Thanks for all your sweet comments. J'avais un peu de temps pour moi et j'ai scrappé.
