Alcohol Ink Techniques Workshop

A couple of weeks ago I attended an alcohol inks workshop at The Stamp Attic, which is owned by the lovely Wendy.   The workshop was run by the wonderfully talented Hels Sheridan. 

The workshop taught us 13 techniques with alcohol inks - which was great, because if you are like me you have loads of them but only know how to do a couple of things with them!

At the end of the workshop we bound our techniques into a tag book

As you can see from my pic I messed up by not lining my words up  correctly!!  But, regardless of this, I am delighted with my results!

Here are some of my faves:

If you haven't attended a workshop with Hels yet, you need to get booking!!! Not only that but you get to browse the wonderful Stamp Attic which is a crafter's heaven!!!

Thanks for looking....

Ranger Technique Workshop with Hels Sheridan 3rd March 2012

On Saturday I attended a workshop with, the one and only, Hels Sheridan. The workshop was based around 15 different Ranger techniques. We used mica powders in 3 different ways, created faux suede, used holographic powder, distress embossing powder, created watermarks, used brayers in different ways and lots more. We then bound all of our tags into a really cute tag book.

The day was fabulous and worth every penny. For those of you lucky enough to attend a workshop with Hels, you will know that she is a fabulous teacher. Every step is explained and Hels is very patient!

As well as this, there was the opportunity to browse in one of the most amazing craft shops ever - the Stamp Attic (www.thestampattic.co.uk) is an Aladdin's cave of creativity - every time you turn a corner there is another room or cubby hole full of gorgeous goodies!! Wendy (owner of the stamp attic) has even got a room that is dedicated to everything Ranger - more Tim Holtz, Wendy Vecchi, and Dylusions than you can even imagine - it's heaven!!!

This is my 4th workshop with Hels at the Stamp Attic, and it certainly won't be my last! I left the workshop brimming with ideas and creativity!
