Barbara Pagani's Tresor Cache 101

I recently inherited some watercolor paints in the tube. There were various makes. I signed up for a free course with Vinessa Redford through the National Gallery of Canada. I had a bit of a hard time keeping up on the live course as I didn't go through and check to see if all the paints were good before hand so I got caught behind. From what I was able to keep up with was quite interesting. Here are some of my results which I cut into smaller works and mounted them on card stock and made book marks for my orders on bpagani@poshmark.ca  I highly recommend watching this video on the National Gallery of Canada when it is posted on YouTube. I will post the link when available. Also check out Vinessa Redford's work and other videos on https://www.pigmentsandmood.com/  

 This is a vintage small adjustable gooseneck magnifying glass on a metal base.  It has a flexible neck for targeted close-up work. This is a pre-owned item and has signs of wear with slight scratches on the glass. This is one of those little randomthings that I fell in love with but posted it higher than I felt it would sell for and it Sold just like that. I was quite surprised. https://posh.mk/09n7ZJ2UE1b It was great for checking out little details on my handmade cards, bookmarks and labels.  I already have a few magnifying glasses so I let it go. It was purchased by a Horticulturalist in BC so that makes me happy.

 My cousin Ann and I were visiting my Aunt Joy while I was in BC years ago. While we were there she told us to take something from her cabinet to remember her by. We both declined as we felt we had enough with just her memories of her but she insisted. I don't remember what it was I took but Ann took the Gnome and immediately Aunt Joy said, no anything but that, I got it from Richard, her son in law. Ann was quite shocked and thought she may have been joking but she was dead serious. So Ann took something else. We left and laughed about that Gnome the rest of the day and still do when anyone talks about Gnomes. Anyhow I think I found the exact Gnome today in a 2nd hand store. I know my cousin doesn't need anymore  Tchotchkes  so I will sell it. The story is good enough to remember our Aunt Joy who we miss very much. Available: https://posh.mk/TB4kbe8TE1b

It's been a long winter. I am done with it. We had ice rain last week and then more snow last night. Nothing too much but enough to wish it adios.  

This stand alone magnifying glass viewing some cast off die cuts done on the lining of the coffee container. Alcohol inks applied and coated with glossy accent. To be put into the Xyron sticker maker. This was $1.00 with lots of sticker still in it. I have the larger one for making my cards so this will be for any tidbit cast-offs. I can use them when packing orders.   

I am having a tough time deciding on selling this beautie.
