MAKING PAPER, MAKING ART, HAVING FUN
We were fortunate to have Heidi de Contreras, gallery artist, demonstrate the process of paper making. Heidi takes it one step further and turns the result into beautiful art work.
For some of us, this was a new experience having not seen paper prepared this way before. Heidi started with a large bowl, assorted shredded papers, and hot water. Somewhere in the process, a food mixer came into play. She spoke of color and texture and how to achieve different effects.
We all got to try our hand at flattening the wet mixture into shapes and setting it to dry on newspaper. Much fun!
Heidi brought along examples of paper she had made previously and used one to demonstrate how she turns each into a work of art. Photos of the process are posted below.
If you were not there, you missed a great evening.

Party Time
Our Opening Reception "Chocolate and Champagne" was a night to remember. Lots of interested art collectors and friends stopped by. We have many small wonderful works of art for the month of December created just for you by our gallery artists and invited friends. Stop by soon for unique handmade gifts for everyone on your list. From stocking stuffers to show stoppers. We have a wish list, layaway plans, and extremely low prices right now. Maybe a gift certificate would suit your favorite person.
Congratulations to all who won door prizes last night!
You're never too young (or old) to paint!
What a treat to have my multi-talented sis-in-law and nephew Jude visit me at the gallery today! It seems that we have budding artists in the family, and so it was a perfect opportunity to get messy together - even mom got in the action. We learned a little about technique, drawing shapes, animals, experimenting with color, using our imagination and just having FUN! We even painted each other when we saw how much we were getting "in" to the medium. Despite the improvised trashbag artist smock, Jude and I managed to paint our sleeves too.
What do you think of our circus train? Jude made sure we remembered the monkeys...they had to ride on top of the train though.
