how to make your own paint glazes
I thought I'd share with you a quick tutorial on how to make your own glazes using Claudine Hellmuth Studio Multi-Medium!
First let's answer the question, what is a glaze? A glaze in painting refers to a layer of paint, (usually thinned with a medium) so that it becomes transparent allowing the surface underneath to show through.
Many times I create a transparent layer of paint simply by adding more water to my acrylic paints, to make a wash. But if you are working on delicate paper using a lot of water might not be the best way to go. For example if you are working in altered book and you would like the text of the paper to show through, but soaking the page with a messy wash of paint, could damage the pages underneath ......
That's where glazes come in handy and it's so easy to make your own! Ready? here we go!
First, place a small dot of Claudine Hellmuth Studio Multi Medium and another dot of acrylic paint onto your palette.
Mix together with your brush and you've created a glaze! That's it! You can vary the amount of Multi Medium used to make your glaze more or less transparent.
Brush onto your paper and you can see what a nice transparent glaze of color you have created! That was easy!
Here you can see by the stripe at the bottom the difference between paint applied at full strength vs. the glaze of paint.
You can use glazes to alter the look of scrapbook paper, photocopies, maps, just about anything that you would like to add a little tint of color to! Happy glazing!

using creative layers stamps at CHA Winter
I've got another video from CHA Winter Show!
This one shows basic stamping using the Creative Layers Foam and Clear stamp sets. Filmed by Scraptime!
The ring in the video was given to me by the sweet gals at My Little Shoe Box. It's made from Sticky Back Canvas! You should see what creative and amazing things they did with Sticky Back canvas and the aprons they wore at the show!
Have a great weekend!!

back home from the CHA winter show
I am back home from the CHA Winter Show!
What a whirlwind show. I was demoing so much I only had 2 hours to race around and see as many booths as I could. But I caught up on Suze Weinberg's blog (she has the best recap of CHA ever) and now I feel like I saw the whole show!
The trip out to CHA was a little hairy, flights canceled, then re-booked. But I wore my lucky travel shirt and I made it there! I had a good book, yummy snacks and I was set!
We stayed at the Hotel Figueroa which looks WAY fancier on their web site than it is in real life. It's a place could be best described as kooky. But it was fun to stay a different place even if it did send me into sneezing fits. I think all that drapery was put there 30 years ago and never dusted.
We also had added bonuses... look sanitary drinking cups! A "plus feature"! And we were also told it was haunted. Carmi and Bonnie both heard screams in the night. Hotel ghost? Or just crazy LA people near the Staples center? We'll never know!
The day before the show started Tim Holtz, Wendy Vecchi, Dyan Reaveley and I all taught a class together.
We each had 30 minutes for our segment and here's what the 100 students made in my segment using my stamps and paints with Ranger.
Then it was onto the show! I'm getting ready to demo at the Ranger booth!
Here's a video from Noell Hyman of Paperclipping Roundtable. She did a little chat about my new products out at the show with Ranger!
And here's a little demo filmed by Simon Says Stamp. I didn't know we were filming so I was just chatting away! I show a little demo how to stamp using my acrylic paints and clear stamps on the rock-a-blocks. Here's a link to the Simon Says Stamp Blog.
So another CHA Show all done! It always feels like summer camp. Catching up with friends, making new ones etc.... looking forward to seeing everyone at the Summer show in Chicago. I have lots of work to get done that piled up while I was away!
I'm home for a week then onto Florida to teach at the Art League of Bonita Springs! 2 spaces left if making art in beautiful Florida weather is sounding tempting :)

easy to make paper luminary holiday village
Here's a fun paper village that is easy to make and will add lots of Christmas cheer to your home! The best part about this little village is that it will cost you next to nothing to make, I am betting you already have many of these items around your house!
I have posted this tutorial a couple times, but it's a such a favorite of mine for the holidays here it is again!
Suggested supply list:
STEP ONE: Put the house template (download here) on top of a sheet of old music paper and trace around it with a pencil and then cut it out.
STEP TWO: Draw in where you would like the windows and doors to go.
STEP THREE: Paint in the house. Paint around all the doors and windows leaving them unpainted. Here I am using Dash of Red from the Claudine Hellmuth Studio Line. If you are using these paints, you will notice that they remain transparent and you can still see the music notes even through the color, making a really beautiful effect!
STEP FOUR: Here I added details. I used Claudine Hellmuth Studio Sticky Back Canvas to make the curtains, a black pen and the Ranger Inkssentials White Pen.
STEP FIVE: Fold all your edges and then glue the tab to the other side of the house with Claudine Hellmuth Studio Multi Medium.
STEP SIX: Pinch the sides to shape the house.
STEP SEVEN: Place the roof template on a piece of scrapbook paper, trace around and cut out
STEP EIGHT: Fold down the center and then add details. Here I added trim but cutting a piece of Sticky Back Canvas
STEP NINE: Put the roof on your house and then place a BATTERY OPERATED tea light candle underneath. DO NOT use a regular tea light candle with flame because it will catch your mini house on fire! You can find Battery tea light candles at home stores like Bed Bath and Beyond, Dollar Store or at your local craft store.
YOU'RE DONE! Here's the little house ready to bring Christmas cheer! It was difficult to capture just how glowing the houses are with the battery tea lights underneath. When you make yours, you will see how magical they are!
Now make a whole bunch more and display them on your mantle! A perfect Holiday Village for your home!
