Hi Bloggers & Happy Sunday to you! We're still reeling from a fantastic class with THE
Tim Holtz, earlier this month. Due to popular demand, (and because we're thrilled to show you), we are presenting to you all of our individual takes on the patchwork project from this spectacular class by
Tim Holtz!
I thought it was so cool to see everyone's take on color choices, as well as accent pieces and where to place them!! If you'd like to see any of these photos closer, just click on them! :)
Below we have some close ups of a few of the projects to see some of the cool techniques that were taught and applied!
The close up above shows many techniques, but some of my favorites are the effects of the
crackle paint on
grunge paper, and the pretty sparkle from
Rocky Candy Distress Stickles on the heart! Check out how the
key on this piece is attached with string! Did you know you can sew through
grunge paper?
The beautiful butterfly is definitely the star of this close up! To get your own crackled and multi colored butterfly, apply a generous layer of
Rock Candy Crackle Paint to
grunge paper, and allow it to dry. Next use your favorite colors of
alcohol ink, and apply a drop or two of each to your alcohol
ink applicator tool next to each other. Finally, blend on the surface!
It's always fun to add a personal touch to your works of art! Our teamie, Reba added this fantastic wedding photo of herself and her husband Richard to
Custom Fasteners!
Did you know that you can custom color white or light colored embellishments with
alcohol inks? Simply place them in a seal-able plastic bag, add a couple drops of
alcohol ink, shake, let dry, and TA DA! Just like magic, you've created custom colors! :)
I hope you've enjoyed seeing this art we created with
Tim Holtz! If you missed it, be sure to check out
this blog for more coverage of this fantastic event! We encourage YOU to get inky this weekend!!

ReplyDeleteI've done Patchwork Pandemonium with Tim and Mario and I think the thing I love most about it is we all start out with the exact same things, each and every one is soooooo different upon completion. And each one is soooo beautiful in it's own right. Same thing applies with the Simon Says Stamp empolyees. Each one is so different and each one is so unique. Great job!

ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic! I love that you shared some of my favorite techniques!
ReplyDeleteWow! Everyone is a small work of gorgeous art. Sounds like it was a fun class.
ReplyDeleteLove how each is similar but not quite the same.
ReplyDeleteLooks like everyone had a great time. Glad to see the hard workers at Simon had a chance to party.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful and each is unique! I especially loved the heart collage of the ones that you showcased!
ReplyDeleteGreat patchworks! A good way to learn new techniques and keep them together in one place. I have heard of using alcohol ink to colour items in a plastic bag. The coloured embossed pieces - were they done by inking one side of the embossing folder before putting through your machine or after they were embossed?
ReplyDeleteWonderful pieces- those colors are amazing!
ReplyDeleteAww! Thanks for sharing. I Imagine myself attending that workshop... Putting my dreams aside, I love all that display of techniques and creativity.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! Especially those metallics!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool.. I love the look of it.
