flavor for mixed media - book giveaway!

When Mary Beth Shaw asked me if I would be in her new book Flavor for Mixed Media I said yes right away! Although I also let her know that I don't cook so I would have a hard time coming up with a recipe unless it was cereal or microwave popcorn! I love Mary Beth's work and couldn't wait to see what she would create for a book project.

Flavor for Mixed Media doesn't disappoint. Tons of techniques, how to demonstrations, interviews with a wide array of artists and recipes too! You will want this book!

below here's my section in her book and she did a lovely write up on my work! Thanks Mary Beth!

somerset studio magazine + a giveaway!

I was excited to see the new issue of Somerset Studio Magazine! At CHA Winter 2009 the Ranger booth did a house project designer challenge where each participant received a box full of Claudine Hellmuth Studio paints, mediums + sticky-back canvas and a paper mache rectangle + one piece of chipboard. We were instructed to make something "house shaped."


Here's a quick snap of most of the houses at the Ranger booth at the CHA Winter show.... after the show we sent all the houses to Somerset Studio Magazine for the article!

Here's a little preview of the article with my Circus "big top" house and you can see a peek of Tim Holtz's beachy house. To read the whole article you'll have to get the magazine!
