Whimsy: A Clearly Wonderful Mini-Album, by Kimberly Kwan
They say good things come in small packages, and this project is clearly a fine example of that! Diminutive in size, but large in collage-packed yumminess, this mini-album features vintage inspired papers and some fabulous collage images from Paper Whimsy and Papier Valise. When combined with a treasure trove of vintage ephemera, lace and sparkly goodness, these standard paper goods become simply marvelous! In this class you’ll learn to create your own mini-album using surprising hardware-store supplies and then fill it up with whimsical touches, so in addition to your Basic Supply Kit, please bring an assortment of water colors (I prefer the kind in tubes, but dry “pats” of color will work fine), a blending palette and a small plastic cup to fill with water! Intermediate level class, 2.5 hours.
Basic Supply Kit: scissors, paper trimmer, dry adhesive, fast-drying but very strong wet adhesive, gel matte medium, black marker, pencil, ruler, paper piercer, sharp craft-knife (such as an x-acto), cutting mat, 4-8 disposable foam paint brushes, a few small standard paintbrushes, 1/8" round heavy-duty hole punch suitable to punching through book covers (a Crop-a-Dile works great!), zig-zag deco scissors, an assortment of vintage brown and black inks, any fun background stamps you adore and a bon bon for the teacher. J tee hee!
