a whirl wind called summer

seriously, summer has flown by and unseasonably cold weather it is starting to already feel like fall....I have had yet again several inquiries about teaching another altered canvas class at the store http://www.scrappychiclivonia.com/ so I am working on this mixed media canvas creation...I am going to do a version with photos and one without.

I used vintage dictionary papers, basicgrey, hambly,7gypises, and Claudine Hellmuth studio multi medium and paints.

Hope you enjoy....Hailey

PS - Julie is the winner from the last post....please email me your address.

classes and inspiration

Hello June. Holey crap. The month of May flew by. I have 2 awesome classes coming up at Scrappy Chic ( http://www.scrappychiclivonia.com ). This Sunday I have fun with Alcohol Ink where we will make several mini elements to add to your scrapbook and altered art projects using some off the wall stuff.....hehe. There is a sample in the store. Then on June 15th, back by popular demand, I am teaching my 3rd class of the Altered Canvas, this class is a hit every time. Then Thursday June 18th the BGPOTM Class.

Hope to see you there! Hailey

PS - A little Anthro inspiration.....seriously I could totally see this in front of the window in my scrap room to do a little creative thinking on. Love, love, love it!

finally some craftyness

So it has been a little over 2 weeks since we have moved to our new place. I am finally unburied from boxes and have the internet hooked up. I finally had some time for a little craftyness. I made a canvas for friends and family to sign for an upcoming graduation party. I am totally lovin Claudine Hellmuth's Studio line distributed by Ranger. I am pretty sure I have gone thru at least a half dozen of the matte mutli-medium jars since CHA. You can find her work and full product line here

Anyway for the canvas I used the multi-medium three different ways on this project. I used it to transfer the photo onto the canvas, to attached the paper to the canvas, and then to create a glaze using 2 parts multi-medium to one part of her blank canvas paint (aka White) and painted it over a mask to create the swirl pattern.

If you have a senior I can create a custom canvas for $65-$100 depending on the size. Please email me with any questions hailey@paper-and-glue.com with canvas in the subject line.

Also I am teaching a class at http://www.scrappychiclivonia.com/ on April 19th using these products. For more examples using the Studio line please check out my March 10th post!
