MacKomics Studio: TTTPL Art Journals Final

http://mackomics-studio.blogspot.com/2012/05/tttpl-art-journals-final.html

TTTPL Art Journals Final. At last. photos from the final projects in our Art Journal Series. Each of these unique books is full of pages and pockets and envelopes and ephemera just waiting to be discovered. Students combined various paper types and sizes, as well as other materials like the glassine library pocket shown on the right, above. The final pieces are amazing! We used 5 x 7 matte board and frames to create the covers. Envelopes and other little pockets were sometimes sewn right into the binding.

MacKomics Studio: 07.11

http://mackomics-studio.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

July Dress-up Challenge: Submission. Although I haven't yet completed my June Dress-up Challenge, July's solution came to me in spark of inspiration and just had to be completed first. I didn't do any research for this project, relying on Angela's sample images and description. As well as my memory of early American works being flat, two dimensional, figurative and stilted. These adjectives may sound derogatory, but I assure you, they are merely descriptive. This spring, being the pack-rat opportunist th...

MacKomics Studio: 10.11

http://mackomics-studio.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

This weekend was the 2011 ArtWalk! What a great bunch of visitors and new friends! This year was a THREE day extravaganza of beautiful mixed media assemblages and encaustic compositions on my front porch by the always lovely Tami Clark. In addition, I transformed entire inside of my house into a gallery for my art and silly concoctions. The weather was PERfect! Last week at Tending to the Pilot Light, we made these tiny shrines to lost loved ones or to honor the dead in general. Links to this post. To li...

Tending to the Pilot Light - Yarn Wrapped Wreaths. This most recent Tending to the Pilot Light Session was a trial run for the Craft Workshop I'll be teaching at the Lawrence Public Library in the third week of December. Yarn Wrapped Wreaths for the final session of the Thrifty Gifter Workshop Series. Great flyer design by Mandy Stos of IamtheMandy. Although I'm not completely satisfied with the pipe insulation material we used, my students made the most amazing and cute and beautiful wreaths! I borrowed...

TTTPL Graphic Composition Two. Here are a few more photos from a Tending to the Pilot Light session focused on victory over the blank page. How often do you sit down all ready to do some project and suddenly find yourself staring at the baleful, blank, uncompromising expanse of the white piece of paper or canvas, the bolt of fabric, the assorted tools of your craft, the raw materials around you - only to have your intent, your creative juices squeezed right out of you. Breaking down the page. Here is a l...

MacKomics Studio: TTTPL Gift Bags

http://mackomics-studio.blogspot.com/2012/05/tttpl-gift-bags.html

Last week we revisited a popular project: Handmade Gift Bags. As you probably already know, I am a member of a small die-cutting collective. We own a table top die cutting machine that moves between studios as it is needed. Depending on who I'm talking to, its name is Delila the "Die-Cutter" or "The Beast". It is a marvelous toy for which one can purchase infinite die blocks. And even have custom ones made. It is made by AccuCut and is marketed primarily for Educational Institutions and Stationery Stores.

MacKomics Studio: TTTPL Drawing, Doodling, Do it!

http://mackomics-studio.blogspot.com/2012/05/tttpl-drawing-doodling-do-it.html

TTTPL Drawing, Doodling, Do it! In this series, we explored the art of drawing, doodling, illustration, cartooning - pretty much putting pencil to paper and playing with the outcomes. I started the class with reminding students that we already know how to draw. Any one you see out there, drawing something, is drawing what they know. Not every. Illustrator can draw every. Thing I can draw dog heads until the sun goes down. but draw the body? Drawing Lab by Carla Sonheim. I just love it. We talked about th...
