"Right Now" Mini Album Class with Kristina Contes
Thursday, January 25th 7pm $40
In this class we will be creating a mini book based on what is going on in your life right now. It will contain 8 photos that will capture a time capsule of this specific moment in your life....from favorite jeans to your child's silly hair cut.
Educational emphasis is on paper tearing, stamping, finger painting, transparencies and embracing your own hand writing.
Supplies needed:
a paper trimmer, scissors and fine tip scissors will be beneficial but not required. Your favorite adhesive and a glue stick and preferably rubber cement. Again, not a must, but will make things a bit easier. A hole punch, a rub on stick (the stylus kind would be perfect) and scotch tape. A fine-tip permanent marker and pemanant stamping ink in brown or black. Finally, you may want to bring a medium size paint brush if you are type A and the finger painting mentioned above made you nervous.
The mini book requires eight 4x6 photos. They can be color, black or white or a combination of both. Jot down a bit about how they relate to your life right now....some of my photos include my dog in her fall sweater, the new ribbons I just bought and the CD I can't stop playing. These are all part of life as I know it at this moment.
I like to think of this project as a time warp, like when you hear a song from Jr. High or smell an old friends perfume. What you include in your album will bring you back to this particular time in your life when you look at it many years from now. How cool is that?
