Artful Gathering 2012 Online Video Workshop:

Up, Up and Away with Paper Mache - Hot Air Balloon Ornament
$55 Online Registration: theArtfulGathering.blogspot.com

I am so excited to be a part of the Artful Gathering Online Art Retreat this summer! In my debut class, you will learn how to create a Victorianesque hot air balloon ornament with paper mache.

In this online workshop, you will learn how to work with newspaper strips and paste, made from our own recipe with easily accessible ingredients. You will personalize your project and truly make it your own, once you learn the basics.

We'll create little baskets as the base with textured papers, and then adorn our balloons with paint and gold trimmings. They'll be given a nice aged patina to really add to that charm of a bygone era. Lightweight and able to be hung from a a tree or stand upright, your hot air balloon is sure to be a one-of-a-kind keepsake or a lovely gift for the family or friends. The typical ornament measures 6-3/4" tall and is 3" wide.

So up, up and away and join me on this creative flight!

I will have a limited number of kits available for the class and will also have a DVD available for purchase. To register, please head to theArtfulGathering.blogspot.com.
