Tip for the Day

Here is an easy tip for applying metal leaf. Cut a piece of wax paper slightly larger than the metal leaf sheet. Place over the leaf and rub on top of the wax paper. This will create friction and allow you to easily pick up the leaf. You may then place it on your ready adhesive, gold leaf down and rub. Remove the wax paper and you're ready to go.

Image Transfer Workshop

We have received advance copies of our book, Image Transfer Workshop. It is amazing to see two years of work in print. I have been using it as a reference for some new work. The folks who have had a chance to look at it have run home to order it and so can you. Here is the link to Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Image-Transfer-Workshop-Mixed-Media-Techniques/dp/1600611605/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1232977667&sr=8-1
You should receive it about mid July. it won't be in the bookstores until August or September, so order your copy today.
We demonstrate 35 transfer techniques and we trouble shoot what may go wrong and how to fix it. We even have four projects you can do. working on this book has influenced my work and expanded my painting and art making tools. I hope it does the same for you. We will have a website and a blog for the book up this week, and I look forward to hearing how everyone is using the techniques. See you soon.

Today's edition

I am working on the final edit for my upcoming book, "Image Transfer Workshop", written with Darlene Olivia McElroy. The book will be available for pre-order on Amazon in May. I'll keep you posted.

The class I am teaching at ArtXscapes began last night and we have a great group. They all completed collages within the creation challenge deadline. I'll post one for everyone tomorrow. Check back.
