The first class on Saturday was Creative Blocks... total Fun with canvas, paper, beeswax, Idea-ology, and stuff!!!! I LOVED working with the canvas and beeswax... I must do it again!!! All weekend long I kept telling myself... no thinking or don't over-think... I often think too much at home... so when we did the paper part, unless it was something I just didn't like, I just used pieces... lots of fun!!! When we did inking and then also when we got to the embellishing part I pulled my choice of colors from the piece of paper at the top left - the picture of pigments.... I was skeptical as I worked but when it was finished, I loved it!!!!! I'm not sure I would have ever "planned" to use the colors the way I did. Soooooooooo much fun!!!!!!!
Now onto some candy!!! I have for this give away what is pictured below. The 2 bags are Quietfire Design stamps that Suzanne gave me to give away (there will be more coming) - Thank you, Suzanne!!!! Oh, and I should tell you, Quietfire has a brand new website that is faster and has a whole new shopping cart... check it out if you have time.
Everyone is welcome to leave a comment for a chance to win the candy - one each, please. I'll randomly choose a winner Sunday, July 3rd.

I've got all the bits and pieces to do wax and collage, but have been too hesitant to use it. Maybe now is the time... Nicky x
WOW !!! I want to see this in person. Bring it to the atc swap at the end of July. PLEASE !!!
I bought those square sheets of wax to make candles with....looks like there's another use for it - as with all things in the world of art!!!! I saw a guy paint an entire landscape with wax...it was beautiful as well, lots of dimension to it.

Love your blocks project, Wanda. I was able to take that class last year and it's one of my all-time fave projects. I can feel your excitement!
This turned out great! I've not done a project like this nor taken a class with Tim...maybe one day. Until then I'll try to remember not to overthink my work - I do this a lot!

Wonderful work- love your project(s) and I am very interested in learning how the beeswax is done!
Love your canvas, great blog candy giveaway too
Love this piece - I love all the ephemera you have used and the placement of each piece on the finished article.
Vivacious and thought through, I love the way you have pulled it all together, and of course the ephemera. What a great piece!
I am thinking how fun it must have been to just sit down at the table and be handed such a bag of goodies and inspiration. Must have felt like Christmas in June.
Wow, you have been having fun...nice project!!

Love the beeswax canvas. I still need to try this. Thank you so much for sharing these amazing projects and blog candy!
I really like the canvas piece-and I'm not a pink and purple kind of girl. great composition.
Neat project! I think I have enough bits and pieces to do something like this. I have a whole drawer full of Tim's stuff begging to be played with :0)
This is a gorgeous piece. How fun to be able to take classes from Tim.
this is a great piece. the class must have been fantastic.
Lovely, lovely piece. Hope I win this, as I've never tried Perfect Pearls! Pick my name please! Nelda
I love this! Wish I could get to a Tim event some day.

Thank you for sharing the amazing pictures! We can all totally learn from them. And how fun, that so many comment on your blog for a chance to win.
Keep creating, we love it!
Sooooo cool!!!!! I love the color combos you chose. The piece just pops!
I like the vertical canvas, not sure I would have been able to choose which direction I wanted mine to go! Looks great!
WANDA, I loved every class you took and you now have some awesome peices of ART to display. I think my most favorite was the Creative Blocks. Some of the other classes I have been LUCKY to take from the master his self but the Creative Blocks one I missed. I will have to attempt it on my own.
