A New Class Animal Hangups

CREATURES AND CRITTERS

CREATURES AND CRITTERS

This is a revised class which used to be called anthropomorphic critters. Welllll...that was just
too hard to spell and say so now we are Creatures and Critters. Above you will find some
pictures of old and new critters that we have made. We are teaching this class at CREATE
in Costa Mesa and we are really excited about it. We are hoping everybody comes with
ideas for fantasy creatures. This class will teach you about armatures which are the most
important part of any sculpture. We are using Paverpol and fabric(natural fabrics) so that
the sculpture will be very hard and stable.

INTRODUCING...OLIVE OWL

Olive is made with Paverpol. Her feathers are cotton tape on wire painted with Paverpol.
She was spray painted with Copic Markers.

the class so that the stand comes apart to fit into a suitcase for the people that fly.

"Steampunk and Milagro Class

This is a new class we are really going to have fun with. You will make molds of milagros,
gears, filigree objects, things that represent  the steampunk genre. You will make many molds
with 2 part silicone, press molds finished in 15 to 20 minutes. You can use the molds for
the metal which we will be using, but you can also use the same molds and use poly clay,

PMC, aves epoxy, paperclay, plaster and plastic. Below are some pictures:

Vegas class "Poppin' Up" formally Alternative Journalling

We are teaching this class at ART AND SOUL in Las Vegas in february-march.Originally
Alternative Journalling  was the name of the class but we changed it to "Poppin' Up". It will encompass all of the features we wrote for Alternative Journaling but we decided on making a concertina or "accordian" book with a bi-fold cover to put all of our pop-ups, pockets,flip ups, a mini journal and a flag journal. Here are some pictures of our sample books
