Life is Clearly Beautiful
taught by Tena Sprenger
beginner - advanced
A little while before Donna invited me to teach at this event I came upon an a totally cool site on the internet called You are Beautiful, whose sole purpose is to spread the simple message that everyone and everything is beautiful. I was totally loving all the photos and art collaborations at the site and I just knew I wanted to create a class built on this theme...then Donna called! Perfect Timing! Life is Clearly Beautiful starts out as a clear acrylic book that is then layered with color using multiple art techniques and mediums to create an explosion of color to celebrate all that makes your life beautiful to you!
I am super excited that in addition to making a fabulous keepsake we are also going to be experimenting with some beautiful art techniques. We are using my absolute favorite products; Alcohol inks from Ranger, Acrylic paints and Glazes, Glaze pens, Papers from 7 Gypsies, acrylic albums from Pageframes and Fontwerks Rubber Stamps...Can it get any better? Lots of art supplies always means lots of fun!
