July 20, 2019

On a warm and humid summer day, after a delicious lunch nearby, 4 Artists met in the Transit Building for the bi-monthly meeting. 

The meeting began with announcements and discussions which were followed by Show and Tells of the May Challenges: the Yupo Paper/Alcohol Ink Lift-Off technique and an ATC with a Quote.  Artists then participated in a Blind Trade of an ATC made with Washi Tape and lastly the Regular Trade.

Bridgett demonstrated How To Make A Background With Rubber Bands.  Thank you Bridgett!

Instructions:
1) Put several rubber bands around an acrylic block
2) Use older stamp pads to ink the rubber bands
3) Stamp on cardstock, playing and experimenting as you go to make a unique pattern
4) Consider using a different acrylic block/rubber band combination to add another color

See the pictures below:





Nancy will be doing the demonstration in September.  Thank you Nancy!
