hello again bloggers! ranger u is well underway here in new jersey and day one was a great success. lots of very eager students spent the day learning about perfect pearls and melt art and i taught the entire day sharing numerous techniques. everyone created 21 technique swatches this first day complete with step by step labels attached to the back of the tags for perfect pearls, and technique bags for melt art. i'm always amazed at the interaction and creative ideas everyone shares during this event - lots of inspiration going on around here. so we're about to start day two and claudine hellmuth is here to kick it off teaching everyone 3 hours of technique using her studio line. then i'm back to finish the day with 5 hours of distress goodness sharing inks, powders, crackle, stickles, and of course the new stains! i'll be back tomorrow with a few more pics of what we were up to. enjoy the weekend...t!m





Boxes, swatches, and bags full of creative goodness! Can't wait for you to share more tips!

Love your art work! Will Ranger U be in the midwest area? I live in Wisconsin and can't seem to get enough of your demos.
