Supplies Needed

Two covers (stiff board) 5 ½” x 7 ½”
15 Sheets of paper for in book 10 ½” x 7 ¼” – will be folded

Rulers, T-Pin and cork board, scissors, pencil.

Have a sketchbook handy for notes and inspirations!

All you’ll need this session is your sketchbook (or some paper, but why not put it in a sketchbook!) and a good pen preferably black. Many people like using the Micron Pens, but my fav is the Pentel Rollerball pens.

We’ll spend the majority of the hour doodling which may sound boring, but I’ve found it becomes extremely relaxing, I can’t wait to hear how you enjoy it!

If you do have a circle shape, maybe like an old CD that you can use to trace it will just make some aspects a bit easier. You’ll also find a list of my Zendoodle designs you can download and print off in the supply list below. So let’s get doodling!

Supplies

Not too sure what to suggest for the upcoming week. I will be showing off some of my hand made tools, so if you have any of your own, you are welcome to show them. Or if you have some junk that you think could become tools, then you are welcome to bring them as well.

A few of the things I will show you will be the collection of handles I have, and some of the things I do to turn those handles into tools. You’ll learn how you can repurpose simple items to become tools.

When I am putting these together sometimes I use a hot glue gun or more often I use a much stronger glue, and I will explain all that. If you want to play along, bring your paints, and the pieces you have been working on so you have a place to play.

In this session we’ll be taking a look at stencils, how I use them and how you can make your own to create unique effects on your pieces or in your craftwork!

I use stencils in my art for spray painting, to create lines and/or patterns with acrylic paints and to create interesting effects.

I will go over some of the things you should know about stencils along with how I make many of my own stencils. As mentioned I do use them with spray paint, so I will be using spray paint in this session to illustrate how that works, but you’re not required to use spray paints with me (unless you wanna…).

I’ll also share how you can use stencils with a sponge or brush if paint is more your medium of choice.

For this session you’ll once again need your paper or canvas boards we’ve been working on and you can check out the supplies list at the bottom for additional items.

For this session we’ll be painting and cutting, creating a visual design with the pieces. But, we will be painting several sheets of the cardstock so that we will have it ready to go in the following weeks.
