I think we could easily find about 100 different techniques to use with different kinds of them and we would never get bored.<br />
<br />
Today we would like to familiarize you with inks that not everybody knows yet - <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/ecoline-watercolours-512-c.asp">Ecolines</a>. These are definitely one of my favourite mediums and for a few years teaching classes with them I noticed that almost everyone who tried them on my workshop immediately fells in love. So why not give it a go? Here is guideline I prepared some time ago and now I want to share with you:<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What I love most about <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/ecoline-watercolours-512-c.asp">Ecolines</a> is that they give you absolute freedom.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The final result is not so predictable but thanks to that you can get some really amazing effects that are impossible to achieve with any other medium.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ecolines are watercolours so you should use a soft paintbrush. Sable or squirrel would be perfect, but synthetic fibers work just as well.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For me, the best brushes are the <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/pro-arte-series-31-round-white-nylon-general-purpose-brushes-12572-p.asp">big ones</a>, they are perfect for making splatters and blobs. You don't even have to touch the paper, only soak your brush in the water, then in Ecoline and hold above the paper. A big drop will fall on it, and after drying, you will get a beautiful blot. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">

<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When choosing <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/artists-pads-401-c.asp">paper</a> for your watercolours, keep in mind that the best would be the thickest and <b>acid free</b> paper (acid free paper doesn't contain any chemicals so it will never turn yellow and won't waste away). You can work on watercolor paper without any preparations. But this kind of paper is only an option. Try to experiment with different kinds of paper to find the best for your techniques. Try also some <b>recycled papers </b>– especially for your art journal. You only need to remember about priming it first with <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/finnabair-art-basics---gesso-clear---250-ml-17259-p.asp">gesso</a>.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Would you like to know some of my tricks?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Wet on wet technique:</b> </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This one is the most spectacular and expressive technique. You can get amazing effects, especially if you'd like to paint water or sky. Simply damp the paper with a brush dipped in water. Paper must be completely wet. Now dip a brush in water, then in paint and apply it on your wet paper.</span></div>

Apply ink on dry paper, let it dry and then apply another layer of ink. If you use good quality paper, the first layer will not dissolve after adding the next one. To keep it clean and clear make sure the previous layer is dry and try to limit yourself to only few coatings.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This technique is the opposite to wet on wet and it's perfect to emphasize some details on your painting. Use a <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/synthetic-brush---size-4-11328-p.asp">smaller brush</a>, dip in colour, blot on a paper towel a couple of times. Skim over the texture of the paper. Repeat the steps.</span></div>

You can get beautiful stains when you apply a layer of paint on one that is not completely dry. The first layer's pigment is replaced by the pigment of next coating and it creates a beautiful effect of stains darker on their edges. You need some practice to get the best results. The first layer can be neither too dry nor too wet.</div>

<span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">My work below was painted with <b>wet on dry</b> technique. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">I covered the whole paper with a thin layer of <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/finnabair-art-basics---gesso-clear---250-ml-17259-p.asp">gesso</a> and when it was dry, I started with <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/ecoline-watercolour-ink-30ml---381---pastel-red-19401-p.asp">pink Ecoline</a>. Then I let it dry and added more stains but with <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/ecoline-watercolour-ink-30ml---237---deep-orange-19395-p.asp">orange</a> this time. Next was <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/ecoline-watercolour-ink-30ml---676---grass-green-19415-p.asp">grass green</a> and finally <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/ecoline-watercolour-ink-30ml---508---prussian-blue-19407-p.asp">prussian blue</a>. When my paint was dry, I dipped a clean brush in water and made some small stains. Then, I also added some <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/luminarte-silks-acrylic-glaze-432-c.asp">Silks</a> with my palette knife and started masking and sketching.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">To end up, I'd like to share </span><b style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">some ideas</b><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"> for you to try out:</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">

<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Paint a layer of Ecoline on watercolor paper and when it's still wet sprinkle a bit of sea salt on it. Salt will absorb the pigment around and when everything dries, just blow it away and enjoy the beautiful result.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Draw with white candle and apply Ecoline on it. Your drawing will appear because the paint won't cover the wax. When your painting is dry, you can easly remove the wax by ironing through tissue paper. This technique works best on watercolor paper that has a nice texture.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Paint with a sponge! Why not!? This way you can get many different effects that will surely surprise you. Just dip a sponge in Ecoline and have fun.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Paint on watercolor paper. Dry some of the layers of paint with a heating tool and leave some other spots wet. Then dip the whole page (yes, you heard me right!) in a bowl of water for a second, bring it out and see what happens. The spots that you previously dried should stay as they were, but those that you left wet will get blurred.</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">

<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">

<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So why don't you start experimenting with your <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/ecoline-watercolours-512-c.asp">Ecolines</a>? Remember that practice is very important. If you are not very happy with the effect, please try not to judge it too much, just continue your work and have fun with it.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I learned that I don't always get the best painting and I'm fine with it.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's a good thing because each work we create (good or bad!) makes us better artists.</span></div>

Thanks so much for having me!</blockquote>

Let's change the subject for a minute and though it's The Crafter's Workshop stencils month on our blog, let me share with you some of my ideas on how to use <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/new-silk-clay-480-c.asp">Silk Clay</a>. <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/new-silk-clay-480-c.asp">Silk Clay</a> comes in a wide range of colours and it's a lightweight, self-hardening, mixable, flexible and soft modeling material. Drying should take no longer than 24h, but for my pieces it was only about 6h. As a woman of course I love jewellery and that is why I thought that I have to try Silk Clay to make my own. Below you'll find three simple ideas. Hope you enjoy :)<br />
<br />

<b>1. Silk Clay + Silks + Treasure Gold = Triangle Necklace</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<br />
For this necklace I cut out three triangles out of a thin slice of Silk Clay (I rolled it using a bottle). Before I did that I stamped on it with Dylusions stamps <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/doodle-delight---dylusions-stamp-14594-p.asp">Doodle Delight</a> without ink - only to get the texture.<br />

After drying I painted my triangles with three different colours of <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/silks-acrylic-glaze-1oz-jars-431-c.asp">Silks</a> and then applied <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/treasure-gold-369-c.asp">Treasure Gold </a>with my finger on top. Using <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/round-jump-rings-x-40---brass-10907-p.asp">jump rings</a> I connected all three triangles and found the perfect chain for my necklace.<br />

Then I applied a thin layer of <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/new-ice-resin---iced-enamels-medium-19212-p.asp">Iced Enamels Medium</a> using a paint brush in the center of my pendant and sprinkled some <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/new-iced-enamels---relique-powders-505-c.asp">Iced Enamels</a> powders on it. Next thing was to melt it with heating tool and add a little bit more of Iced Enamels to make it more interesting.<br />

<b>3. Silk Clay + Stamping + Silks = Miniature Jewellery Tray</b></div>
<br />
I rolled Silk Clay into a 3 mm slice and cut out a circle. I stamped on it using <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/new-archival-ink-94-c.asp">Archival Ink</a> and a <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/doodle-delight---dylusions-stamp-14594-p.asp">Dylusions stamp</a>. Then I shaped it to make my little bowl using my fingers and a tiny bottle and cut the edge to make it smoother.<br />

After drying I painted the outside of my bowl with Silks using two different colours. This little tray turned to be a perfect little pot for earings that I take off in the evening or all tiny beads and pendants.<br />

Hope you enjoyed my quick step-by-steps. Try to experiment with Silk Clay and think about all of the possibilities it gives to you. You can use it in different colours - can you imagine how amazing Treasure Gold must look like on little pendants made with <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/silk-clay-40g-tub---black-17073-p.asp">black Silk Clay</a>? It also works really well with <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/molds-481-c.asp" target="_blank">Molds</a>, and the best thing is that when its dry its still quite soft and so light, so isn't cumbersome, (perfect for earrings) experiment and have fun!<br />

We have very good news for you - <a href="http://alisonbomber.blogspot.co.uk/">Alison Bomber</a> is back with another project. This time she has prepared a beautiful card in a colour combination that is her trademark. Alison is using The Crafter's Workshop stencils that are the theme of our June's ATP Exchange Challenge. <a href="http://artisttradingpost.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/atp-exchange-june-challenge.html">Here</a> you can find more details.

I haven't got many "making-of" photos - partly because this was made up mainly of leftover scraps! I often work with blues and greens, so this is what my scraps usually look like. The book page had been used to blot up leftover inks from the craft sheet, as had the watercolour paper panel behind it. I layered them together onto some folded kraft card and stuck them down.</blockquote>

Then I stencilled the longest stem over the scraps several times, blending Peeled Paint, Shabby Shutters and a touch of Mowed Lawn. I decided I wanted the stems to have a more defined look against the slightly busy backgrounds, so I placed the stencil back over them and used a PITT pen to outline the leaves.</blockquote>

I'm a patient mum of three adorable kids and an enthusiastic primary teacher living in The Czech Republic. I've been a mixed media freak for two years willing to let my imagination run riot anytime and anywhere. My style's been evolving all the time. It's anything but clean and simple.

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: inherit;">I created the texture by applying a thick layer of <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/dina-wakley-media---white-gesso-16018-p.asp">gesso</a> and then heating it with my heat gun (holding it very close to the paper). This allows gesso to form bubbled surface. Very interesting and easy technique to get rid of the flat background. I used some sprays to add dramatic colours and did some random stamping with black <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/archival-ink---jet-black-5788-p.asp">Archival Ink</a>. I also glued some black <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/art-ingredients---mica-flakes---henna-17338-p.asp">mica flakes</a> on the ladie's head. I love the effect.</span></span></blockquote>

Here is Alison to introduce herself:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">My creativity was never really on the visual side - I was more the words, music,<br />books, theatre type. When I became a freelancer in Spring 2012 after eight years at<br />the Royal Shakespeare Company as a Text and Voice Coach, it was supposed to give<br />me more time for friends and family. I had no idea that within weeks I would be in<br />thrall to a whole new creative passion - stamps/inks/paints/texture/stencils - you<br />name it, I want to play with it! There's so much to learn, discover and explore. <br />Now I have to balance the two worlds - hence the name of my blog, Words and Pictures. So much for friends and family...</span></blockquote>
Now it's time for some beautiful inspiration from our Guest Designer. Sit comfortably because Alison prepared a real treat for you:<br />

Trading Post, especially to play with stencils - one of my absolute crafting must-haves. I enjoyed
myself so much that I ended up with a trio of projects, and I'm delighted to share the first of them
with you today.</span></blockquote>

We are very sorry for a little delay with our June Challenge, but we have been very very busy last week. But at least we prepared something very nice for you, something that we are sure most of you are going to love.<br />
<br />
Our new challenge is a little bit easier than last ones, but that doesn't mean that you can't show your creativity. This time we are focusing on specific products - <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/6-x-6-templates-235-c.asp"><b>The Crafter's Workshop stencils</b></a>. We want you to share with us your works using them. It can be whatever you want - tags, ATCs, cards, layouts, art journals, canvases, collages etc. In your blog post remember to link to the specific stencil you have used on your project. All other rules of our ATP Exchange Challenges can be found <a href="http://artisttradingpost.blogspot.co.uk/p/blog-page.html">here</a>.<br />

For this challenge Jamie prepared an interesting background working on a manilla tag. He covered it with black gesso and painted with white Sharpie and Golden paint through Entrelac stencil. When dry he mixed 3D Gloss Gel with copper glitter and spread through with the palette knife.<br />

Having been a customer of Artist Trading Post before and I was thrilled when my lovely ICE Resin boss, Jen, asked me to do a feature for them. My first response was they have fabulous customer service and great delivery times too so I would be more than happy to oblige!</blockquote>

I will start with a little about myself. My name is <a href="http://gotpaintinmyhair.blogspot.co.uk/">Clare</a> though universally I am know as ''Gotpaintinmyhair'' I am Yorkshire born and bred and have lived in West Yorkshire all my life with my other half and four kittens that I rescued. I went to College studying Art but on entering the real world, did as every one else round here and got a job in an office. I yearned to do something creative and found a local shop one day while being dragged to a garden centre (kicking and screaming!) that has a craft shop in it. I was hooked the second I walked through the door! I have since gone from card making, to scrapbooking, to art journaling, to mixed media, to basic jewellery making and more advanced jewellery making, and finally have landed on Silver Smithing and back at college again, I am about to enter my final exam project for my 2nd year of college.</blockquote>

I don't really remember how I found ICE Resin, but I had been interested in resin for a few years. I became quite obsessed with finding a resin that would work for jewellery, would not yellow over time, would not crack over time too. It was quite a hard task, all resin is not created equal I fast found out! I had many a disaster and grew quite frustrated. I was given a half used bottle of ICE Resin, back then in the blue packaging, by a friend who ''couldn't get along with it''. <b>I became hooked, self levelling, self doming, self healing!</b> Oh it was divine so I did some research and followed Susan and Jen instantly everywhere I could, I became quite the stalker, never daring to speak to them because their talent was so intimidating to me. I quickly learned that actually, they were amazing and friendly and so very quick to help on the odd occasion I had to pluck up the courage to ask a technical question. I eventually got over my fear and became inspired by them, it was seeing Susan's metal work that made me research ''propper Silver Smithing'' as I thought of it, and signed up for a evening course at college. I must have been on a high being accepted into the college class because that same week the Creative Team call was put out into the world, so I applied, never once imagining that I would be accepted, I didn't hear anything back for the longest time and thought I hadn't made it. Turned out in my haste to fill in the form I had fat finger typed my e-mail address wrong! Oh my heart sank when I had a message on facebook from a stranger asking if I still wanted to be part of the team as I hadn't replied! That was when I met the lovely Carol, the team manager, who turns out, could be my long lost twin we are so alike and get along so well!</blockquote>

The rest really is history,<b> I have been part of the ICE Resin family since the end of 2013, it has been an amazing ride and will only get better! I am lucky to be a Certified Ice Resin instructor since the start of 2014 and the only one in the United Kingdom</b>. I love to teach and will travel anywhere in the country to share my passion. If you would like to follow me you can find me on all the normal social media platforms, usually as Gotpaintinmyhair. I am a bad blogger! But I am trying to change that, aren't we all...<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b style="text-align: center;"> Technique:</b></div>
<div class="Standard">
1: Using a disk cutter and a doming block cut and dome two ½ inch and one ¾ inch circles from a decorative tin box.</div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
2: With a brush paint the two ½ inch pieces with <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/new-ice-resin---iced-enamels-medium-19212-p.asp">Iced Enamels Medium</a> and cover with <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/new-ice-resin---iced-enamels-relique-powder---turquoise-19194-p.asp">Iced Enamels Turquoise Relique powder</a>. Shake the excess back in the tub. Heat both pieces from underneath until the powder has turned into enamel.</div>
<div class="Standard">
</div>
<div class="Standard">
3: Mix <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/ice-resin-1oz-syringe-11251-p.asp">ICE Resin</a> to the manufacturers instructions</div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
4: Using the mixing stick or a sponge coat the two enamelled pieces with <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/ice-resin-1oz-syringe-11251-p.asp">resin</a>, adding a small pool in the centre and set aside to cure in a level area with a dust protector covering them.</div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
5: Scoop some resin into the smaller domed piece of tin so it is half full making sure all the sides are covered in resin. Shake on a generous amount of glass glitter. Set with the others to cure.</div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
6: <u>Pour any leftover resin in a mould or wipe onto book page so it is not wasted.</u></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
7: Let cure for 6 to 10 hours.</div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
8: Once cured, mark all pieces equally on the back and punch 2 holes opposite each other. Attach to chain at desired length and wear it.</div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
I used an antique copper coloured chain and toggle as it highlights the coppery coloured parts of the turquoise relique enamel.</div>

It's time for May's Guest Designer. This time we are very excited to have one of our past Design Team members here - we are sure you know her amazing style and creativity very well, and just like we you still can't get enough of her beautiful works.

Hi Everyone! </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
It’s Annie here and I am thrilled to be Guest Designer at Artist Trading Post this month where Ice Resin, Iced Enamels and Iced Enamels German Glass Glitter are the products being promoted. These products are very new to me, but will no longer be a stranger as I really had a wonderful time creating with them and can see lots of possibilities in my mixed media projects. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The projects below follow techniques that can be found on ATP blog and Ice Resin Blog, with a few added pieces of ephemera ( also by Susan Lenart Kazmer )<br />
I have lots of photographs/details to share so grab a cuppa and lets go :-) </blockquote>

Below is the step by step with some added details: </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>TIP: One thing I would recommend is having everything to hand when you are using Ice Resin as this enables you to make the most of the time you have before it starts to heat/thicken. This is also dependent on the temperature of the room where you are working </b></blockquote>

First of all I lightly sanded all the metal items I had planned to use, then I applied the <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/new-ice-resin---iced-enamels-medium-19212-p.asp">Iced Enamels Medium</a> to the bezels/spoons/key and metal embellishments. </blockquote>

I found the Iced Resin really simple to make as its equal parts of the resin and hardener. After stirring you can leave it to sit for a few minutes to allow some of the air bubbles to disappear, although a pin and your heat gun can be used too.<br />
Once I applied the Ice Resin I placed my projects in another room, covering them with some plastic packaging that my tomatoes were in and were pierced with my punch. This prevented any dust from landing on them while the Ice Resin cured.<br />
<br />
Taking the <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/new-iced-enamels---german-glass-glitter-504-c.asp">Iced Enamels German Glass Glitter </a>I applied Susanne Lenart Kazmers Faux Druzzy technique. ( There is a <a href="http://artisttradingpost.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/ice-resin-iced-enamels-basics.html">video demo</a> on the ATP Online Store and on You Tube that you can view.)<br />
First of all I mixed Ice Resin and placed a little in the bottom of the bezels then I added the Iced Enamels German Glass Glitter.<br />
<br />
<b>To remove excess glitter from around the large bezel I used a small soft paint brush as you cant shake it off due to the Ice Resin inside.</b> Pieces were all left to cure and were covered over with same clear packaging used above. </blockquote>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">firstly I want to tell you that after much thought and deliberation we have made the sad decision to close our Bricks and Mortar store in Wirksworth at the end of May.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It has been open for over two years and we have loved meeting our customers face to face, but the economics just don't add up so have decided to go back to being <b>online only</b>.</span><br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This will give us more time to work on the website, make improvements and we also have some exciting developments to look forward to. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We will be attending some shows and other events so will not disappear from public display altogether!!</span><br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyone visiting our store in Wirksworth from today until the end of the month will get a 10% reduction on anything bought, just mention the words "Newsletter Discount" at the counter and we will knock it off, so if your in the area in the next couple of weeks, please call in and see us :)</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Back to our online shop, and we have just added <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/sennelier-263-c.asp" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Sennelier Watercolours</a>, these Artist Quality products use honey in their manufacture to give them a lovely sheen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We have half pans and 10ml tubes in stock in over 90 colours, and these are on offer until the end of the month - 15% off our normal price. (Online only)</span><br />

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">I used the Multi Medium to adhere everything! What a FANTASTIC product this is - blimey it does EVERYTHING it says on the label!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">For Butterfly girl I flattened the fork and then found a really good image which was punched out using a circle punch and glued on, the tines (fork prongs) were heated</span> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">with a heat gun and then bent using round pliers. I also adhered some Suze Weinberg Beadz on the handle along with the metal Route 52 ephemera (which appear on all the cutlery)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">For spoons 1 and 2 the images were glued on and once dry I poured in some CLEAR RESIN (try Ice Resin) to the bowls,</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">its hard to see them in the picture - but they have a lovely aged appearance and really do look fab.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The fish knife and spoon 3 are image transfer - (the image must be copied using one of those big office photocopiers) </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">the Multi Medium is painted direct onto the cutlery surface and the image is pressed face down, and allowed to dry </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">overnight. Then dampen it with water and slowly rub away the paper and the image will adhere </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">to the Multi Medium. The thing is - dont over rub it, or you will rub away the image. Once its done </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">seal it with a coat of the Multi Medium to protect it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Spoon 3 was flattened, then I did the image transfer and once it had been sealed with the Multi Medium </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">I gave it a coat of Crackle Accents. This felt very "Game of Thrones" and I thought that the </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Route 52 ephemera really fitted this particular spoon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Ok - you can give them as they are to your friends as a little gift, or you can do this:</span></div>

May is a month with Susan Lenart Kazmer and her products on our blog. <a href="http://artisttradingpost.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/mays-featured-artist-susan-lenart-kazmer.html">Here</a> you can find an interview with our Featured Artist and some of her beautiful creations. Next week are going to have fabulous guest designers and inspirations, so to warm you up we would like to share some videos showing basic techniques on how to use<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">ICE Resin®</span></span>. </div>

<br />
I guess there are some of you who are frightened to use <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">ICE Resin®</span></span>, as it may seem quite a complicated medium. I know what I'm talking about because I myself bought <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">ICE Resin®</span></span> about a year ago and wasn't brave enough to try it for few months, but believe me - <span style="background-color: white;">ICE Resin®</span> is very easy to work with. Once I tried I couldn't stop and now I'm adding Ice Resin to almost every project. Let me start with a short explanation about the product:<br />
<br />
<b><u><a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/ice-resin-1oz-syringe-11251-p.asp">ICE Resin®</a></u></b> is a 2-part epoxy resin. Part A is the Resin. It has a slightly blue tint. Part B is the hardener. It has a very slight yellow tint.<br />
Part A and Part B must be poured with a one-to-one ratio and mixed gently but thoroughly for ICE Resin to dry and cure properly.<br />
<br />
<i>Crystal Clear</i> –the beautiful, glass-like finish is more transparent. Properly cared for, your jewelry will not fade or become brittle.<br />
<i>Naturally Doming</i>—like water bubbles on a freshly waxed car, ICE Resin has surface tension, and this tension allows the user to fill a bezel and make a dome.<br />
<i>Self-Leveling</i>—because of its surface tension, ICE Resin levels itself in a project.<br />
<i>Self-Healing</i>—the user can sand an area of ICE Resin out of a project, mix a new batch of ICE Resin and paint the resin on or pour the resin into the area and viola! Just like the cat hair, stray piece of glitter, et cetera never happened.<br />
<i>Cold Cure</i> –because ICE Resin® was formulated with an 8 to 12 hour drying time and 3 day cure time, the user can colour the resin with organics an/or place organic matter in their arts and crafts projects.<br />

It's May already so it's high time to introduce you our new Featured Artist.

This month we would like to familiarize you with a different form of mixed-media art. Our guest is absolutely unique in her creations, and her style is very easy to recognize. She is combining jewellery making with mixed-media and collage, creating incredible art. Our Featured Artist this month is... </div>

We asked our May's Featured Artist to tell us something more about her and answer few questions, so we hand you over now to Susan:</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i>My work is built on years of researching cultures, repairing<br />ethnographic adornment, Art school, training in the craft of<br />metallurgy and a strong fashion back round. This has made my<br />work that I call, Expressive Adornment, a unique voice in the<br />industry. My work includes building Talismans, Prayer boxes,<br />Amulets and magic for the fashion, museum, gallery and<br />commercial world for over 20 years.</i></blockquote>
Susan’s early hand made collection began at Henry Bendell, Banana Republic, Nordstrom, Ann Taylor and more, where she began building a handmade and a commercial line of jewellery. Susan’s work participated in numerous museum exhibits including Smithsonian and Art Institute of New York. Author of her second book, RESIN ALCHEMY, an Amazon 2013 best seller list, It includes a pioneering ten year body of work combining metal and resin. She also creates a successful commercial line of components called, Industrial Chic.<br />
Susan’s innovative new work can be seen in March 2014 issue of U.S. ELLE as she re-enters the fashion world and on the runway in New York.<br />

<blockquote style="line-height: 16.8666667938232px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>How did you develop your style? Was it a gradual process or did you always have a specific artistic vision? Explain.</b></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span> </blockquote>
<blockquote style="line-height: 16.8666667938232px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>I have both. I trust the process. I usually get my cues from what is around me. I usually go intuitively. I have taken a cue right now for new beginnings in my work. I'm working with heavy gauge wire, circles, sheet metal. I take my cues of what I'm feeling and what I feel I need to work on. I build for myself. It takes a lot of courage to build for yourself and then bring it out into the world as new ideas.</i></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span> </blockquote>
<blockquote style="line-height: 16.8666667938232px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>What are you most proud of?</b></span> </blockquote>
<blockquote style="line-height: 16.8666667938232px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>To not have fear of exploration. I am very willing to go into my studio and fully explore a medium from the beginning and attempt to push it as far as I can. For example, one of the editors of a very prominent magazine said to me that resin was not even a material in the fine art world into I brought this medium into the market with work. It took a lot of courage to have my jewelry work with resin viewed as a viable material in the art world, but because I first went into my studio and worked it out and came up with a museum-quality body of work, I knew I had done my best to create something fresh and new and unique. I believed others would see it that way as well. </i></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b> </b></span> </blockquote>
<blockquote style="line-height: 16.8666667938232px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Where do you see yourself going in the next couple years? What are your goals?</b></span><i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></i> </blockquote>
<blockquote style="line-height: 16.8666667938232px;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Recently I just had 10 pages of my work in Elle Magazine (March 2014 issue) and I began working with a stylist on my wearable adornment. I'm considering some opportunities that have presented themselves to go back into the fashion world. In the 1990s when I was just out of art school, I was fortunate to have some instant success with my fashion jewelry line called LenART Collection. I built one-of-a-kind pieces that were sold at Banana Republic, Anne Taylor, Barneys New York and other high end boutiques in New York and Los Angeles. </span></i></blockquote>
<blockquote style="line-height: 16.8666667938232px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>What do you want the readers to know about you and your work? Any special advice to other designers who are just getting started?</b></span> </blockquote>
<blockquote style="line-height: 16.8666667938232px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Follow your heart and do not look at what people are doing or what is popular now. I think my success has come from just building and being true to myself even if my work wasn't in the fashion of the time. If you build from your own experiences, your own life, your own heart, you time will come. Stay true to you and do not absorb others. </i></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span> </blockquote>
<blockquote style="line-height: 16.8666667938232px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>What are some of your special finishes? </b></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i> </i></span> </blockquote>
<blockquote style="line-height: 16.8666667938232px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>I spent years working with liquid enamels and enamels and love the glass surface it brings to metalwork. There are a lot of people who don't want to use kilns so I came up with a surface finish that looks like enamel work - called cold enameling that uses paints, Iced Enamels and resin (glasslike surface). Iced Enamels is a whole new category in itself and I've been able to do some brand new and interesting work with this cold enameling medium.</i> </span></blockquote>

Susan is definitely an inspiring artist, but also lovely and kind person. Me and Jamie are both huge fans of her style, and we are sure that many of you also adore Susan's creations. Here are some of them:</blockquote>

Kasia here again to share some more inspirations with you. As you probably noticed for a few weeksnow, Ive been working with Jamie on making this blog an interesting place for all of you. We are both trying to find special guests, attractive tutorials, challenges, refresh our social media and at the same time order products you are going to like and give you good customer service<br />
<br />
But... in the meantime I'm also one of you - somebody who loves to create, especially mixed-media. I have been working with many companies (Prima Marketing, Faber-Castell,7 Dots Studio etc). I am also a Finnabair Brand Ambassador and teach classes with her products, but at the same time I love the possibility of working with many other products. One of the most exciting things to me is designing stencils for <a href="http://www.thecraftersworkshop.com/The_Crafters_Workshop/Home.html">The Crafter's Workshop</a> (you can find them all in our <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/index.asp?function=search">shop</a>) and that's the reason of my (probably a little bit too...) personal blog post.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwJxbrlP9Kk1XP5RFfMM-xIXDaUcnhKHnh1vrIofHBUJWW7c3z_4wTaogSlrrOOkahrIb_hAa6RmlYeij6WYGmy04HpNKhEvw6m13dwoH0ORW_p3_1ZFzhvVKwzTnhqiSgkIt8afDQ5UuH/s1600/unnamed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwJxbrlP9Kk1XP5RFfMM-xIXDaUcnhKHnh1vrIofHBUJWW7c3z_4wTaogSlrrOOkahrIb_hAa6RmlYeij6WYGmy04HpNKhEvw6m13dwoH0ORW_p3_1ZFzhvVKwzTnhqiSgkIt8afDQ5UuH/s1600/unnamed.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<span id="goog_12744382"></span><span id="goog_12744383"></span><br />
<br />
Once a month I'm sharing inspirations using my stencils on The Crafter's Workshop blog, and this time I experimented with new Abstract Paints as they are very exciting new product available in <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/">Artist Trading Post</a> shop. So if you want to know more about them, see how they work and how you can use them with stencils please visit <a href="http://www.thecraftersworkshop.com/blog/2015/05/kasias-stencils-heavy-body-acrylics/">The Crafter's Workshop blog</a>.<br />

<br />
I must say that I truly fell in love with these paints. The pouch, that they come in, is so much nicer to use then metal or plastic tubes. And also no waste, because you can squeeze it to the last drop of paint. Here are colours I used in my blog post for The Crafter's Workshop:<br />

All rules can be found <a href="http://artisttradingpost.blogspot.co.uk/p/blog-page.html">here</a></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;"> and on the right sidebar of our blog.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">Our new challenge again gives you the chance to work in your own style and experiment with techniques you like. This time the challenge subject is to create</span><b style="color: #333333; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;"> with found natural objects.</b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;"> It can be collage, assamblage, art journal spread, scrapbook layout, magnet or anything else you want.</span><b style="color: #333333; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;"> </b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">Only one additional rule this time is that you have to use<b> at least one product</b> that can be found in our <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/">shop</a> and mention it in your blog post.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">And what are found natural objects? It can be everything: stones, pieces of wood, sticks, beautiful flowers, leaves, shells, feathers, sand, minerals etc. Try to open your eyes for things that you would normally ignore. Let simplicity and rawness of these objects inspire you.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arimo; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;"><br /></span>

1. Sand your <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/rectangles-one---silver-bezels-11209-p.asp">bezel</a> with a sanding block to clean the surface.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Apply thin layer of <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/new-ice-resin---iced-enamels-medium-19212-p.asp">Iced Enamels Medium</a> with a brush.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Sprinkle your favourite colour of <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/ice-resin-371-c.asp">Iced Enamels</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Melt enamel using a <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/ranger-heat-it-tool-2862-p.asp">heating tool</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5. Play with layers of different Iced Enamels repeating the process.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
6. Place pieces of shell.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
7. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k27qKfmfTZ4">Mix the Ice Resin</a> and pour on your bezel. Use heating tool for few seconds to disperse the bubbles. Leave it to dry for at least 6 hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
8. After drying you can sand the Ice Resin surface like I did, if you want a distressed look, and paint your bezel with Treasure Gold.</div>

10. And last but not least our most exciting new product this month - <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/sennelier-abstract-innovative-acrylic-506-c.asp"><b>Sennelier Abstract</b></a> which is a fine quality acrylic paint. It has an amazing pigment concentration and a creamy to thick (heavy body) consistency, with fabulous covering power.<br />
<br />
They are novel in the way they are packaged! It comes in a <b>pouch</b> which is very strong. You can take it anywhere, it's preserved better and it's very easy to get every drop out of it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The most amazing thing though is the price. A 120 ml pouch sells for just £3.49 but we have special offer for you in our shop.<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>Until Sunday night at midnight (or while stocks last) you can buy them for <span style="color: #cc0000;">£2.99</span> per pouch!</u></b><br />
<br />
There are 36 Satin colours, 12 High Gloss, 6 Iridescents and 6 Fluorescents to choose from.<br />

April is our Wendy Vecchi month and that is why we would like to familirize you with Wendy's <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/index.asp?function=search">Embossing Paste</a>.<br />
<br />
Studio 490 Embossing Pastes are <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">smooth and light acrylic emulsions designed to add texture and dimension to your projects.</span></span> They come in many varieties but for our "5 ideas..." we used <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/studio-490-embossing-paste---translucent-16037-p.asp">translucent</a> and<a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/studio-490-embossing-paste---white-16035-p.asp"> white </a>paste.<br />
<br />
1. Paint you background with water based paints (<a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/index.asp?function=search">Ecolines</a>, <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/index.asp?function=search">Silks</a>, <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/index.asp?function=search">Distress Paints</a> or <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/index.asp?function=search">sprays</a>) and let it dry. Using a palette knife apply some Translucent paste through the stencil. It will dry clear - then you can paint with other colours and it will resist allowing your background to show through.<br />

2. Mix translucent or white Embossing Paste with your favourite pigments, <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/index.asp?function=search">powders</a> or <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/index.asp?function=search">mica</a>. Add some colour and shimmer to it and paint just like with acrylic paint. <br />

3. What about Embossing Paste and liquid watercolours? Mixing them together isn't as easy as with powders but after few moments you can get smooth paint in your favourite colour. Do this with translucent paste to get a glossy finish.<br />

4. Cover your base with a thick layer of a combination of white and translucent pastes. Grab your favourite tool (maybe <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/index.asp?function=search">Catalyst</a>?) and just draw - have fun! Drying will take a few hours, but you can also use a heating tool to make it faster. Then cover your texture with Treasure Gold using a cloth or even your finger. Try to layer a few colours of <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/index.asp?function=search">Treasure Gold</a> and you'll get a heavy, metallic effect.<br />

<br />
5. Mix Translucent Embossing Paste with your favourite <a href="http://www.artisttradingpost.com/index.asp?function=search">Art Ingredients</a>. It will work like glue and seal at the same time. Then apply your paste on paper, wood or metal and let it dry. Later you can start playing with colour - how about Treasure Gold again, or maybe Silks? Have fun and experiment!<br />
