Today starts the beginning of a new ATC Technique Book. We've just received a re-stock of the fantastic
Krafty Lady Moulds at
Scraptivate and in conjunction with Darwi air-dry clay, these two items are perfect for atc's and other paperarts/mixed media work. Of course you can use melted utee or melted beeswax if you want a faster drying time (literally minutes!) or you can use polymer clay too. I prefer the air-dry clay, gives me time to think about what colour I want to paint it and what to do with it.
Once again the book is 8" wide x 6" high, giving enough room on each inside page for two atc samples on the right and printed instructions on the left. I used torn book pages and gauze for the cover to add extra texture.

Now some atc's using moulds.

I also made these beaded brooches a few years ago when I had the beading bug...
"Beaded face #1"...

"Beaded face #2"...

Hope the girls have fun today playing with the clay and moulds!
Something else exciting that one of my students pointed out to me was the site where you can have your blog made into a book!!!! So I've had my 3 years worth of blogging made into 3 books, a tradition that I intend to continue to do at the end of each year. The cost was reasonable considering the books are larger than A4 format, glossy covers, beautiful colour pictures throughout and very well made. Here's the link if you're interested in having your very own book of your blog.
