Clear word sheets & new atc

I'm in the process of working on my circus pages for our Altered Book Club....trying to replicate the background technique of the atc called "Pursuit" in my last post, the one with the sticks & the bird. Consequently I've not had much time today to get much other art done, though I did get the raffle atc made for our class on Saturday. This time I'm teaching a technique from Bernie's wonderful Artist Trading Card Workshop book, magazine images & gesso....I'll try & remember to take the camera and take a picture of what the girls do in the class and then post it here! Here's the raffle atc...





Many times I've been asked where I get my clear words that I use on a lot of my atc's, the answer is I do them myself. So I've made up 3 different sheets for sale with between 80 & 120 words on each sheet, they are in 3 fonts with different words on each sheet. Not particularly themed, just words that I like! The sheets are $3 each and all you need is to use your craft knife and your ruler to cut a single word out then peel off the backing sheet and it's all ready to go onto your atc, or altered book, or, as in the "Pursuit" atc in the previous post, onto a little metal charm! They are sticky so no need to add glue, gel medium, double-stick tape etc. The sheets are approx. 14cm x 10cm, so they'll fit into a normal envelope for postage which will keep the cost down. Postage to the States should be only around $1.95 (normal letter rate for Australia - under 50grams), Australia of course should only be .50c postage. If anyone is interested, you can contact me on the email addy on my blog.....it says "contact me"....duh ;-) Here's a sample of one sheet....

I love your blog,I have been reading it with keen interest for the last few months, I wish that some of the classes you do were over here in Melbourne. Is it possible that you could give us more detail of your classes for us poor Eastern States people.
