We were so inspired by Roxanne’s visit a couple weeks ago that we are starting a book club to go through her newly released “Acrylic Techniques” book.  Over a 7 week period we will be meeting weekly to try techniques and challenges we find in the book.  I will supply all the materials you need but you are welcome to bring special papers, fabrics, texture making tools if you wish.

Here is an outline of what we will be doing each week:

While the main point of this video is to show you how to make your own full sheets of double sided foam tape…the example I am using is a green crafting project making a tiled mirror with old starbux cards.

Here is the mirror with the tiles laid out…I still need to paint the background then peel and stick them into place.
