A is for AKRON...
here's a quick shot of my demo space before the crowd arrived...see all those wood mounted stamps in the background? that's just a tiny portion of the booth...
for as many stamps as I have...it still excites me to see a huge amount of wood mounted...
my Blossom Bucket embellishments are on the left side of the photo...
B is for Blossom Bucket...
what a lovely sight...Akron was the first convention to have all the resin pieces...
thanks to everyone who took some home...
I hope you'll have fun with them...
C is for crowd...
this is the line up about an hour before the show started...
I guess the line was gigantic when the doors opened...
I didn't get to see that...
I'm headed to Rocky Mountain Memories in Estes Park, Colorado for some inky/stamping classes this weekend...
I'll spend 7 hours on Saturday teaching
Ranger U comes to YOU...
my most favorite class to teach...
I LOVE techniques...
I LOVE stamps
I LOVE all types of inks...
so this is a great way to spend the day...
after that, I head to Novi, Michigan for Mega Meet...
I thought I should have a sample made using
my Blossom Bucket postmark...
it's a perfect flower center...
I added a tiny bit of gold paint around the edge of the resin postmark with the gold paint dabber...
those little blings (is that a word?) you see on the flower are turquoise Perfect Pearls mist...
studio 490 kits for art #3 is shipping...
this was very popular in Akron...
everyone LOVED that the Blossom Bucket resin pieces are included in the kit, along with all the art parts, instruction & step out photos...
and there's also the black metal corner, which allows the shutters to be dimensional...not glued down flat...
the photo below shows the finished art...
there's 2 shutters, the clear resin bottle & the black metal corner in the kit...
it's cream colored right from the package, but easily alterable, with tim's alcohol inks...
2 minutes or less & you can make it any color that fits your need...
I used caramel & butterscotch for this one...
other BB best sellers @ the show...
all of the eyeglasses...
the postmarks...
the sewing machine was the very first to sell out...
the yellow flower, which fits right in the clear bottle...
and the bouquet, which is a perfect fit for the large jar &
my art parts jar too...
the 2 clear resin pieces are unique, because I designed them with a slit/open area in the back, which allows you you insert flowers in the slot & everything still glues completely flat...
the red hearts were popular...these are fun to stamp on to customize them...just stamp with jet black archival ink
these pink posies were gone in a flash...
and these large lips had everyone laughing...
how about a giveaway???
would anyone like my new kit for art that's shown above?
I have one to give to one random commenter...
just leave a comment...
I'll be back on Monday with the winner's name...
now it's time to pack, so I have all the supplies I need to...
make art!
