Artistic Creativity Group‏

Sharon demonstrates to the group how to do creative image altering with ordinary materials. We found interesting images from National Geographic, Fashion and American Heritage and used Citrasol, a natural cleaning fluid, to rub out the negative space around the images. It was a wonderful method for creating a surface to begin a unique piece of art. Next week she demonstrate how to use bees wax to cover the images and give a transparent effect. We will finish the artwork in with other media for color and stain and talk about our creative process...

Actually they sometimes have n o value because I seem to waiting for someone to s...

My Process in Creating Eco Jewelry

Image
    Eco Jewelry by Joy Hellman I save my plastic in bins in my studio basement and paint it as I go sometimes with just paint that I have left over from painting projects in my classes I am ready to do a project I use either a blow dryer or a heat-gun depending on what I want to do and what kind of plastic I am using. They all change in unique ways and create different effects..

I have used anything that I have in my stash as long as it is small enough for the piec...

But I at least have a window or even a door open They all change in unique ways and create different effects..
