Create your own unique talking stick with wood, paint, leather, feathers beads and embellishments! Each items used has traditional meaning from the colors used to the specific feathers used!

Denise Balcanoff

Discovering the Playfulness of Alcohol Inks
In this class
you will reconnect with your inner child through exploring the playful and very
forgiving medium, alcohol inks. These very beautiful and saturated inks will
have you “oohing and ahhing” with each
drop of color you drip on your paper.
You will
discover the interesting properties of the inks, how they blossom, and how to
manipulate them to create amazing works of art!
In the 1st
demonstration I will show you how to experiment dripping and dropping the ink
on yupo paper. We will have fun loosening up, taking risks, and letting the
inks flow in all their inky glory! We will also learn how to manipulate and
layer the inks by using simple tools, brushes, and isopropyl alcohol.
In the 2nd
demonstration you will learn how to create a “Little Landscape” using the “pour
and flow” method, and add details and texture through brush work.
By the end of
this class you will have produced two pieces of work that you will be proud to
frame and display on your wall!
Painting Birch Trees with Alcohol Inks
Everyone loves birch trees and in this workshop Denise will teach you the secrets of painting them with alcohol inks! You will learn how to use masking fluid and simple handmade tools to create a beautiful birch tree scene. You wont believe how easy it is!
Kristen Powers (Kae Pea)
Kristen creates beautiful colorful artwork and owns Rubber Moon Stamps!
