Art is knowing which ones to keep

Diane Bunker Seminar

As you are all aware we will host Diane Bunker this weekend for two days of relaxation and fun.

Diane Bunker Seminar
3-4 May 2013
9 am - 5 pm
Pot Luck Lunch
 
Please note the time  -  we will start at 9 am, that means you need to be in your seats and ready to get started so we can finish all our projects on time.  These are the items you will need to bring along with your regular painting supplies, don't forget to pack a hair dryer and extension cord as we will need them to puff the paint. 
 
I will provide more info by Thursday if anything changes. 
 

1st day

Brushes: I like Loew- Cornell #6 and #4 round stroke brush the one with the yellow band (love this brush), or #2 and #6 filbert. 18/0 or 10/0 liner, 10 or 12 Shader. Hair dryer, Scissors, and a plastic spoon, sandwich baggie, absorbent paper towels. Black Sharpie, White gel pen

2nd day

Brushes again Loew -Cornell 1/8" filbert rake, 1 liner, old credit card, Magic tape, Black Sharpie, White Gel pen, hair dryer, 1 or 2 shirt boards or smooth cardboard, 3 shirts or anything fabric. Any color even white is good. If the shirt is a natural fiber you can dye it after the flowers are done and they will take the dye also for a tone on tone look. My favorite is Black with white flowers. No 100% polyester,

A small item to do the faux metal art on try to keep it 3" or under such as box, picture frame, candle holder, metal pocket. Also for a second piece the faux metal art looks good on a spoon necklace, domino, flat bead, or scrabble tiles.  If you check Dollar Tree they may have the small wood boxes, mine did for just one dollar.  And don't forget to bring your frosted bottle.  If you didn't frost your bottle last month, come early and Jane will bring the frosting for you to dip your bottle in.  Jane will not be available to do the bottle for you but it is quite simple. 
 
Our schedule is as follows but it may change once we get started:
 
Day 1:
 
Spoon pendant - you will receive the pendant with a black cord, use of paints, at the end of the seminar you will have a resin filled necklace, 1 jar of decorating paste, a tip kit, a piece of teflon, and a white watercolor pencil.  We will also be painting on our glass bottles.
 
Day 2: 
 
We will finish up the spoon necklace with the resin.  Then you will receive a bottle of puff paint, 1 bottle of glitter, 1 stencil of your choice, use of De Coulorant for your 3rd shirt, materials for Faux Metal Art.  Pattern of 5 petal flowers for the paste and puff paint.  Spoon instructions with inspirational picture of 5 different spoons, Faux Metal instructions with inspirational picture.
