This artful gathering . . .

was a blast last night @ For Keeps Sake. Dena and Sue guided us through the process of layering betwinchies onto a canvas using drywall compound. 

Inspiration from Dena and Sue:

Love how they both added little ephemera to some of the squares.

The process begins by covering 1.5" x 1.5" squares (betwinchies)

and laying out the pieces in a pattern that is pleasing to your eye.

Next month, we're going to explore the process of using

napkins, gauze and other materials

to create these Eve-inspired beauties:

This process can be accomplished on betwinchies (as shown above)

or

on card fronts

or

anything your heart desires.

 

Isn't it sweet that Sue added a photo of her and her husband into this composition!

Beachy and bright:

Trish brought her hand painted canvas

and

layed out the betwinchies in a unique pattern.

Each square was stamped and then painted with

Twinkling H2O's.

Love!

Needless to say, I didn't get very far with mine.

Worked out my color scheme

(and these colors shouldn't surprise anyone!)

and used leftover pattern paper that I love.

Edged each square with 

Viva's Inka Gold Metallic Rub.

So that's what we did last night @ CYI.

Hi Nancy - LOVE this...wish I would have signed up for the class! Noticed next months project uses napkins, gauze and other material. Do you think lace would work? I would love to sign up for class and bring a big pile of lace to try...what do you think?
Thanks!

These look like so much fun. Really like the one Trish did. The one with napkins, etc. looks great. Would like to try.
