christytomlinson: Playing the studio.. more UTEE fun

Playing the studio.. more UTEE fun

So I promised you another post this week.. and wanted to share with you a couple of more projects I did using UTEE! There are a lot of different ways to use it.. and again.. in the 3 Hearts Workshop.. I go over EVERYTHING.. but one of my new favorite ways to use it is creating a faux soldering look using Clear UTEE with a bit of either Platinum or Bronze Utee mixed in.. and glass! You can by pre-cut class from Ranger (we carry it in our store).. or you can get it at your local hardware store or etsy.. lots of places carry it. I love creating art and putting it between two pieces of class and then dipping it in the UTEE for a faux soldered look and then using those newly made charms as part of my canvass to add that bit of dimension I love these days..

For this 8x8 deep edge canvas, I use different pieces of patterned paper for the background, the painted over it, textured it with stamps, my doodle pen, etc. Then I created 5 glass pieces with artwork inside of those and adhered them onto the canvas! love how it turned out..

I seriously am addicted to this type of art right now. In the SHe ARt Workshop 2,I will be showing you how to make some She Art Ornaments using this technique and "boxes".. its' going to be so cool!

I also created this mini canvas (it's just a 4x4)

again, just created a simple text background, added paint, doodles.. and then added a piece of cardboard painted, some wire and a little soldered charm.

So simple and so fun!

Anyhow, just thought I would share some more fun artsy stuff this week.. while I am gone cruising.. Today, if all is going well, we should be in the Grand Caymans, snorkeling the coral reef and swimming with the Sting Rays! I hope we are :)

oh don't forget! I extended the deadline to sign up for the She ARt Workshop 2.. at the discounted price of $35.00 (it goes up to $45.00 when I get home).. so get signed up while I am gone! YOu can sign up here!! :)

Next week.. I have a really special blog post for you. it doesn't have to do with art.. it's a personal blog post about me and my sister and getting older and taking care of myself.. lol. oooh.. now I have you wondering huh? I am really excited to share it with you.. because it's something TRULY amazing that my sister has done. So and proud of her and I can't wait to share!

Hope you all have a fabulous rest of the week! See you next week when I get back from our cruise!

Happy Wednesday!

Oh Christy, I am so enjoying your blog and the classes I have signed up for! I am so excited to take your She Art classes!

I can't wait to try the glass with UTEE. I just purchased some of that glass the other day! Thanks for all your inspiration!

Christy I just discovered your blog from the Create TV Channel. I love it! I don't consider myself an artist but more of a crafter. But after reading your blog and watching your videos it makes me think more artsy things are doable and not as scary as I have always imagined it to be. In fact it seems that it is more freeing than some other forms of crafts. I also checked out your shop and it is so full of awesome stamps, stencils and many other cool things.
Enjoy your vacation with your family!
