ClASs FuN Part 2

My Altered Image class was FULL and so much Fun!... Thanks to all those that drove up from Seattle to participate. We worked on background techniques and composition to start and then moved into selecting and altering images to make them our own and then finished up with all kinds of tricks and techniques to integrate the images in to a cohesive piece. Every body did some amazing creative exploring. Leslie can back again and brought along her mom Lynn and friend, Rachel. Two classes with sweet Leslie and I failed to get a good picture of her either time.. my bad... Then Shanna and Stacy also both from the Seattle area connecting with me through the U District Street fair, and then my one local girl Laurie. All such sweet, creative fun people! I also got some creative play in and started several different pieces as class examples that I am excited about finishing up. Here is some pictures of everyone's creativity.

So I have been a bit of a Blog Slacker... Been too busy living life to write about it.. But will try and catch up my devoted audience.. lol

So teaching classes went really well. I was nervous going into them, but I relaxed and enjoyed the experience of sharing my techniques and attitude towards creating..

Encouraging people to splash and smear paint around and for God's sake stop thinking and planning... Embrace the Chaos! Just Create!

(What do you think should I make bumperstickers?)

The Visual Journaling class had a smaller attendance but that was nice, because I could offer my mom a spot in the class. She was a bit resistant to coming, but made it and had a great time and created some really beautiful journal pages.

Here are some examples of the pages started in class
