Welcome you who love art of all kinds and discovering amazing new techniques and sharing our love of art! The Carnivale has arrived with wondrous workshops, free tutorials for one and all, side shows with discussions on fun and creative things, a professional development troupe, tips & tricks, artistic challenges, trade secrets, interviews, blogging, support & encouragement, calls for entries, and scheduled chats. Who knows what else will end up on here!

What would you like this site to be for you? Lettuce know (that's salad talk) and your wish will be granted.

No matter how this site evolves it will always be, first and foremost, a place that was built with love and a wish for wondrous things to be experienced by everyone. And with that may good intentions be sprinkled all about you as you learn more about all that is through your art and through your dreams.

There is no time limit to the workshops. They are designed to run continuously so you can view them any time and work at whatever pace is good for you. The workshops have videos, supply lists, detailed photos, forums to discuss the project(s) and teacher access for help and answering questions. There is a place to share work in progress and finished pieces with the group. If we ever decide to discontinue a workshop you will have at least three months’ notice.

You should have a faster internet connection to take the workshops. Dial up is too slow to view the videos.

RESIN CLAY PENDANTS

Discover the magical properties of this indispensable art material while creating small scale pendants! We'll explore how to create mosaics without grout, make and fill bezels with ephemera, photos and little embedded treasures, learn progressive building of pendants with cured and uncured clay, my own recipes and tips for cool surface effects, play with other newer art materials and learn how to add found objects for stunning mixed media masterpieces to wear!

See for yourself why I’m writing an entire book featuring resin clay projects that will be published early next year by North Light Books! This stuff seriously rocks and after trying it I'm sure you won’t want to be without resin clay in your studio.

The class is live and available now with two complete projects. You can register now for a special enrollment fee of just $35. Once the rest of the videos, photos and class guides are posted the regular price will be $55

the name on the Paypal account is different.

* About ning groups: you may want to consider which email address you use when you join the group since this will also create a ning profile that is good for any other ning group. Some people have used different email addresses when joining different ning groups and it can be inconvenient to not have all of the ning groups you belong to associated with just one email address.

Pre-register now for only $35 using the button below. You can use your Paypal account or pay by credit card.

Feel free to ask questions or comment about the demos! I've added a forum discussion for Demos. BE SURE TO USE THE SCROLLBAR ON THE PLAYLIST BELOW THE VIDEO PLAYER TO SEE ALL THE DEMOS.

This is for an upcoming Creativity Challenge using acrylic skins and digital grounds by Golden. Fun fun fun!!!
