Hello Everyone!

Evolution of a Mermaid

Greetings Everyone!

I had an absolute blast teaching Saturday's class: Mermaids under Glass. I am presenting this project in two class sessions.  Some I'm sure consider this unnecessary and will make the class too expensive.  However I assure you that two classes are definately needed.  Most of the first class was spent visualizing, drilling, sanding and otherwise prepping the piece. Still don't believe it? Well following I have included a couple of photos and steps taken to create Lisa's amazing assemblage.

Here you see the basic structure that Lisa has decided on.  Two base pieces: One is a vintage crumb sweeper pan and the lower piece is a small candy dish. Lisa has done a great job matching two totally seperate base pieces. They both have wonderful open work like filigree around the edges.
We began by sanding each piece thoroughly to create the needed "tooth".  This is the most tedious step but also one of the most important ones. Don't skip this step guys or your paint will not stay on the metal.
When you begin any assemblage you need to decide the basic structure of the piece and how it will  be displayed.  In this project all the pieces will be hung on the wall instead of free standing,  Since it is to be hung holes have been drilled and picture hanging wire inserted into the holes. Lisa decided to connect the two base pieces together. To do this we drilled a hole in both pieces and screwed them  together. Another option would have been to suspend one from the other in some fashion.
Next we prepped each piece with clear Gesso (Thank you Michael DeMeng!) and let it thoroughly cure.
Lisa then chose her Mermaid image.  She altered the image to suit her, attached it to a mat board base and covered it with a glass lens. It was then glued onto the round metal dish.
Lisa then chose a base paint color and applied it. That base coat of paint was in turn covered with a protectant.   You can see the result in the photo above.  As you can see this is the start of a great assemblage.

In this photo Lisa has started the Victorian type shell work in a flower type design around the Mermaid,  By this time the class was over but it was the perfect place to stop. This will allow the glue around the shell work to dry thoroughly and without the benefit of a heat gun. Warning-do not apply heat to the lens or you risk it cracking. Cracking-Bad.  Also please remember that metal conducts heat.   When Lisa resumes next month she can create the shell work she planned at the top of the piece and because its not as close to the lens she can risk a little heat gun time to speed up the drying.  

Interested in seeing a finished product?  Well come back next month and I will post the last steps and the incredible piece of art that I know this will be.

If you are interested in this class I will be teaching it again this Saturday the 21st at C.Andrews Studio.  Here are the details:

Mermaids under Glass

Greetings everyone!
I am announcing my new assemblage class: Mermaids under Glass.  This class debuts next Saturday at
Art Max in Seaside California.  I will also present this as a two part class so that everyone can see a finished
piece of art.
Our Mermaids will start with a small vintage metallic tray or bowl for a base.

 In the center will be our mermaid collage image covered with a large vintage pocket watch crystal.

 Next we will learn some shell work reminiscent of the work done in a Victorian Sailors valentine.

Lastly we will pull our assemblage together with acrylic paint and add perhaps a word or a line of poetry to add to the mystery of our mermaid.

This class will be open to all students beginner and advanced alike and will focus on the logistics and methods of creating a true found object assemblage. We will be adding wire on the back to server as hangers so that when finished you can immediately hang your Mermaid on the Wall.

This is only the first sample I will be posting so stay tuned for more assemblage to come!

May class schedule-Late!

In this intermediate collage class we will be creating our own personal icons on a 10 x10 canvas. What images have deep meaning for you? Is it a person? A place? Or maybe an object? Even the ordinary can become sacred or symbolic of some deeper personal meaning. To accomplish this we will be creating our icons using collage images and small found objects carefully boxed into compartments using embossed and corrugated papers and texture mediums. To help create a unified piece we will then apply paint washes and finally a glossy topcoat.
Items to bring: A variety of paintbrushes, scissors, 5 of your favorite acrylic paint colors and 3 to 5 related images. Please make sure that one of the images is large enough to become your focal point. The images must be color copied or printed on a permanent ink jet printer.

Altered Book swap #9

Greetings Everyone,

Last wednesday my Altered book group had our 9th swap.  This time I had Anne's book which was called "Road trip".  I  had a difficult time with this one since I'm not exactly a world traveller.  I'm more of an armchair traveler.  So that's was my take on the subject of Roadtrip. When I finally settled on this idea the wheels in my brain started to turn and all of a sudden a little story wrote its self.  The result was of course another way over-the-top presentation.  I'm sure that everyone is rolling their eyes but I couldn't help it.  The story just took over.  I had to tell it.  I just couldn't keep it in. To contain my story I decided to make a little book inside Anne's altered book.  To hold it I made a pocket in the book.  You can see it above. The pocket is laced together in such a way for the book to slip into easily. Here's my explanation page text above:

Ok I'll admit it.  I'm an armchair traveler.  So I guess you're wondering what that is?

An armchair traveler is someone that rarely physically travels for one reason or another.  But we do travel. And I mean big time.  I have to confess that I am one of the best. I travel all the time.  Yeah-I know what you're thinking. So you read a book, fall asleep and have a dream.  Big whip.

But I'm here to tell you-my dreams are spectacular! Stupendous!.  I am a professional armchair traveler. If there was an armchair Olympics -I'd be a gold medalist. I'd be a contender! And I'm here to prove it to you.

For your edification and enjoyment I have recounted just one of my incredible adventures. In fact by my count it's adventure # 3,954.

So here goes. Enjoy.

My Title Page

So it all happened one dark and stormy night.  Cliche I know.  But it really was dark and stormy. Anyway I was reading my latest scif/fantsy novel firmly ensconced in my comfy armchair and somehow despite the rain and extreme winds pelting the house-I fell asleep

I awoke in the midst of a swirling tornado!  Debris from the surrounding houses was swirling around and around and I was right smack in the middle of it all.  It was kind of a rush.  It wa like riding Space Mountain at Disneyland!

I did feel bad about the neighbor's cows though.

Well I finally landed somewhere over the rainbow with frizzy hair and no comb.  I was totally disorientated.

Next thing I knew I was surrounded by a bunch of little dudes all  talking to me at once.  Through all the noise I heard something about a dead witch, her sister finding out and that I should really leave now.  I thought: what's the big deal? It's not like I dropped a house on her or anything.  But they were all very insistant.  Yes even Toto too!  So not wanting to wear out my short welcome I decided to leave. 

They pointed me to the Yellow brick road as the way out of town and I started off.  You can see my start in a way cool time lapse sequence on the opposite page.(above)

I continued to follow that silly road until I came to green hillsides and lush meadows.  It was beautiful here but weird.  I mean the houses had round doors!  Those doors must have been really expensive to replace.  It isn't like you could just hop over to Home Depot and find a new one.

Anyway-I'd  have stayed longer but some short dude with pointy ears was standing by the side of the road trying to sell a gold ring.  He must have lost his job-poor guy.  I felt bad for him and bought the ring for $50.00.  I put it on so that I didn't lose it during my travels.

I stopped just long enough to ask a nice old man in a pointy hat the directions to the next town.  I don't think he was all there because he told me to go fast and not look at the eye.

Ok.

Whatever.

The befuddled old gentleman had directed me to a large B & B on a hill.  He said to ask for his buddy Dumbledore and I'd be well treated.

I  was finally within flying distance to the Inn when I inadvertantly ended up in the middle of some kind of sporting match.  Yikes!

I think the players were trying to catch some sort of bird or was it a key with wings?  Anyway I really got in trouble when the darned thing moved into my flight path.  I swear that what happened next wasn't my  fault.  I was trying to shoo it out of my path but I caught it instead!

Man that kid was so angry!  And everyone was yelling and swearing at me.  So I got out of there fast and didn't look back.

I flew so high and fast that I actually reached space!

Ok so about now you're wondering how I could breathe in the vacuum of space right?

I could breathe because this was my dream.  So butt out!

I had now traveled quite a distance.  I was parched .  I went from galaxy to galaxy looking for a place to relax, have and drink and put my feet up for awhile.

I finally found a great Cantina in Mos Eisley.  It was one of those little holes in the wall with real ambiance.  I sidled up to the bar to order a drink but was told that this establishment didn't serve my kind here.  Huh? I was going to argue this point but the bartender looked a little aggro.  So I just flew to a corner and pouted awhile.  I have to say that the place had a great band and that helped to chill me out a bit.

However as the night wore on things started to get a little rough.  Multiple fights broke out resulting in an actual death or two.  But it was after some old guy with a light saber cut off another guy's arm that I had had it. Not even the force could keep me there after that .

I blasted out of Mos Eisley as fast as I could go!

I felt better after I had put some distance between me and Mos Eisley.   As I dropped out of light speed I decided to cruise along on impluse power for awhile.

So there I was cruising along, singing a song and minding my own business when all forward momentum halted.

I was caught in a tractor beam!

I was pulled aboard a large vessel.  Some crazy Scotsman brought me to the captain.  He was kind of cute in a 60's sort of way.  I didn't think he was human at first but I realized that he was standing up to his waist in Tribbles!  He was irate and told me to get off of his ship.  I pointed out that my being on his ship was his own darn fault and that I would gladly leave.

 But before I left I gave him the phone number for a good spay and neuter clinic.  Man that ship was infested!

I was then taken to the transporter room.  Cool!  I had never been beamed before.

Just before the transfer the first officer walked in.  He looked familiar so I asked him if he was related to a little guy with a ring?   He showed no emotion just gave me a little hand signal as said:

Yes you guessed it:

Live long and Prosper.

My only response was : Meh-whatever.      The End

Well I suppose that if you didn't think I was crazy before you do now right?  meh-whatever.

Connie over and out!
