Tim Holtz's Classes - Feb 12, 2012

We hope you are as excited about the following announcement as we are.

Tim Holtz has announced on his blog that he will be teaching at Stamp Asylum, April 21st and 22nd.

More details will be announced as we have description of classes, cost, times etc. Sign up will also be announced as well. We will give everyone plenty of time to study description of classes and decide what class or classes they will taking, and then a date and time when sign ups will start.

One thing we know is that because the group will be large, we will hold the classes at the Southfork Hotel on Central Expressway. More information on the hotel will also be coming your way. We have reserved a block of rooms at a special rate in case you are traveling or just want to make it
a get away weekend.

"The Beautiful Women Book"
Crystal and CanvasJoni Russell

A 6 inch square glass bevel is the cover for this truly different book celebrating women. The base material is painted canvas but materials ranging from chiffon, tulle, silk and natural wool contrast against hammered steel and rust. Cardstock pages form pockets for tucking in our faux vintage cabinet cards, letters and photos you will create. Working with transparencies and TAP transfer paper adds dimension to the pages. Easy to follow templates make this intricate binding system fail proof. A center fabric insert will be collaged with a monotone of textiles that highlight the beauty of light and texture. Swarovski crystal and pearls scattter through adding to the texture. A flag of fabric strips with transferred messages flow from the center page giving interest to what lies inside. Plenty of room for adding your own personal touches and trims. The front crystal is provided, but bring a long a rusty key or found object if you want to give it the added grunge. This "Beautiful Woman Book" is a tactile experience that will delight the senses as you peel through its layers. Beautiful images set in a warm white background, the coolness of the glass and the loft of the fabrics to the touch and the aroma of the lavender seed fill the air as the pages are turned. Skill Level: Intermediate. You will learn basic bookmaking, metal fabrication, transfers, stamping, trim and embellishment techniques.
Bring scissors, glue stick of\r adhesive of choice, 1/4" red liner tape, basic wire working tools: round nose pliers, chain nose pliers, flush cutter, Xacto knife, awl, and a coarse black acrylic nail file. $80.00
