Wood Transfer

This summer I am going to try and do all of the crafty things that have been piling up on my To Do list. First up, wood transfer! I have seen the idea done all over and wanted to give it a shot. I got the instructions from PetaPixel and it worked out great (after a few failed attempts).

I did this fun little project with my mom and we learned some helpful tips along the way:

1. Use a THICK layer of mat medium before laying your print down.
2. Allow it to fully dry (we waited over night to avoid the growing anticipation)
3. Rub Rub Rub! Keep rubbing until all of the paper has been removed
 

Each print we made turned out better than the one before. They are so much fun and make great gifts for friends and family. It was the perfect project to start off the summer! =)

These Boots Were Made For Walkin'

I know I haven't posted much lately and that is due to my unusually chaotic life lately, but I am going to try to keep up with posting what I'm doing. My new obsession has been photo editing. This is one of my favorites from my last photoshoot with my mom. She is so great with the camera. I have been dying to show of my cowgirls and we couldn't resist when we found this old truck.


I'll have more pictures to come. Enjoy! =)

Learning From the Best

Don Gerds Perspective and Marker Workshop at Johnson County Community College 2012

I got the opportunity to learn from the best this weekend at a Perspective and Marker Workshop taught by Don Gerds (instructor at Santa Monica College). Don teaches these workshops all over the United States and we were just lucky enough to have him here in KC. 

These are just a few pictures of drawings I created at the workshop. It was so much fun and now I have a new medium I'm not so scared of anymore! =)

Sketches include: Wooden Box, Chrome Planter, Living Room Perspective Sketch, Glass Table with Wooden Frame, Wooden Desk, Brass Lamp, and Scene outside a window.
