O.M.G.

I did a workshop with Tim Holtz - on thursday morning at AFTH [I was very excited but still managed to be late for the 9am start as I called in Sainsburys to get an offering of Nobbys Nuts]


It's a horrible picture of me [to be honest most of them are - that's why I'm not in many] but I don't care, it is Tim & me in the same photo so I love it. He was very generous with his time, after spending 4 hours teaching us and with only 2 hours till his next class he was in the shop for ages having his photo taken with people. I took his photo but wasn't going to ask for one with me in it but someone offered to take it [thank you whoever it was - I was too excited to notice] and when I said I didn't usually appear in photos [I keep the camera firmly in my hands to avoid it] Tim said I should be in one - and am I glad he did.


This is what I made - a journal using wendy vecchi art parts book covers, and lots of Tim stuff [book rings, kraft resist, distress inks & stains, grunge printers blocks, canvas, perfect pearl mist,....]


and we got lots of stash to keep after we completed our journals including salvage stickers and plastic letters, a craft scraper, 2 distress ink pads, a cut and dry handle, 2 rolls of tissue tape, glossy accents, glue & seal, perfect pearl mist, a new black dabber [softer bottle],...


It was a brilliant class and I had a great day - now I need to journal all the little tips & hints he gave us in my new journal. I did obviously manage to buy a few bits [to go with what I had bought through the week when Ben put them on line] and now I can't wait for the butterfly tissue tape and kraft resist paper [which I wasn't sure about before I used it - but now I need it].

Dyan did a piece of art which she turned into limited edition tickets. She hadn't altered Tim and he wasn't happy about that so she spent most of the class altering him on each ticket individually. My ticket was 2 of 60 and Tim signed it on the back as well!!!! I tried to scan it in so I could put a picture on here but my printer and laptop ane not best friends.
