Copic classes and the Copic Coloring Guide Level 2: Nature

Are you ready for more Copics? I am so excited....just received hot off the press my copy of the Copic Coloring Guide, Level 2: Nature. This is written by Marianne Walker and Colleen Schaan. If you would like to learn more about Copics I have a class at The Mercantile www.themercantilestore.com this Friday starting at 1:30. I am telling you this book is awesome.

 The class is called "Tips, Techniques and Applications". Sign up quick...seating is limited, I like to keep classes small.

Also included in the book is a cd of digital images for you to print out for your own use.  Hope you are able to come. Every skill level is invited.  

Free classes at Powdersville Community Church

The SECOND Monday of every 

month ....

will be a FREE Art Impressions Watercolor PLAY DAY with me.  I will start off with the basics of using Art Impressions stamps and Marvy markers to create water color pieces suitable for framing.  You will learn how to pull color out of the images, shading and blending, using multiple stamps to create a scene, and removing color from the paper.

The classes are free and we meet at Powdersville

Community Church at Exit 40 off I85.

I hope as a member of the design team for 

Art Impressions that I can assist you in 

learning this fun and satisfying technique.

Many of you know about the Copic Marker book that Roxanna and I developed to inventory the markers. It also includes several tutorials and product information along with a swatch section. A customer at the store that made one of our books (we sell them as a kit, a class or completed book) brought in her newly decorated book. (Not quite finished hence the temporary binding rings) I just thought it was awesome. Thanks Norma Lynn! You have inspired me. Anyone interested in "re-covering" their book? We are thinking about a class where we could work on new, updated covers and/or add swatch pages. Thinking of a cost of $5. If you would be interested in a class like this or a class on completing a new book please contact Stamps and More by Eleanor 864-295-2929.

What an exciting weekend ahead. On Saturday a group of us are heading for Scrapbook Creations in Spartanburg, SC for classes with Sally Lynn McDonald who is a Regional Instructor with Copics.

Several will be taking her Copic 101 class (I already took this one and it is awesome) titled, "Who, What, and WOW!" Her other two classes are an Acrylic book class and a Tim Holtz tag class. Can't wait!!! Then on Sunday she is teaching a Copic certification class which I am repeating. Getting an update on products and refresher course. Several friends are taking this class for the first time. A fun, creative weekend ahead. I have several new samples I will be posting later tonight. If you want to see them in person come by Stamps and More by Eleanor. They are made using Penny Black new "Slapstick" unmounted rubber stamps. So cute and perfect with Copic markers. Also you might have noticed I changed the title of my blog so as not to conflict or be confused with another blog using Creative Journey in the title. Have a great weekend, I will post new samples tonight and post an update on the weekend by Monday.
