Demonstration of Golden Paint Products

The Lachine Artist group had a demo on Monday night which I am hoping will be the turn around in my creativity because I am absolutely amazed at the products and the Artist that gave the demo. The woman giving the demo's name is Melanie Matthews and you can see her video on youtube for Golden Paints:

Here is her website:http://melaniematthews.ca/

She is giving workshops in the Montreal area and if you have even one ounce of creativity in you, I recommend you attend any of her workshops.

We were all given samples of some Golden Paint products which I have been playing with and I can't wait to go out and buy more.....photos of creations to follow...here is the first couple that I did. The first 2 are family photos of my dad & his brothers, sister and Aunt taken in black and white which transfered wonderfully. I used Med gel gloss to do the transfer. The second one is of a photo of montreal transfered into black and white and came out realitively good on a 4 hours waiting period. The last on of Colleen and Tim which was a print in grey scale didn't transfer as nice and I was about to put it in the garbage when I decided to add a little acrylic paint and highlight with a gold marker and then added an old page from one of my older books and then secured it to a canvas that I painted black....It's alot better that the original transfer but not great. I will have experiment a little more.

I may try to sell on and keep the other for a project....hum so many projects....what shall I do? I love the detail on each of the little drawer pulls and one of them has this little detailed corner which is so cute. the bottom of this one lost it's veneer After some research on some of my blogs that I visit I found some great ideas like this one by Mamie Jane's Here is another idea to use the drawers for from http://www.etsy.com/listing/65855791/salvaged-vintage-sewing-machine-drawer?ref=sr_list_1&ga_search_query=sewing+machine+drawers&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet = Or this one from http://www.etsy.com/listing/63700962/vintage-oak-sewing-machine-drawer-with?ref=sr_list_19&ga_search_query=sewing+machine+drawers&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet = another real cute design for candle holders f

End of a collection #Breweriana

For years my hubby and I collected Breweriana items. It started with beer glasses and within a year or two without realizing it, we had over 100 displayed in our A frame window ledge. Then it was coasters from every bar or restaurant we visited. The next level was Beer trays which we eventually sold off. This all started when we were making our own beer even managed to find the old quart size bottles and the cases. As with most collections it grows without even noticing. You know it's out of control when you need to clean over 100 glasses, twice a year. We still pick up glasses, coasters and trays here and there but more for reselling. This is the last bit of the collection that we no longer display and all the coasters have a pin hole as they were mounted in our basement on our barn wood walls. They are in relatively good condition for the next collector to come along and purchase them. Poshmark.ca/closet/bpagani Thank you for checking them out. update this batch which had lots
