The Decorative Folk Artist April 2017 | Page 6

For the second year we held a Friday Fun Night - something a little different . Last year it was building towers with drinking straws . This year the challenge was to create something that looked like an animal from skinny modelling balloons - all ably assisted by many glasses of wine . The photos speak for themselves .
Saturday . Another rush to get out of bed and down to class . Day two for Peggy , doing a
Kim ’ s mucky mixed media class fawn in the woods picture . Next door something ‘ alternative ’ was happening . Kim was getting the group experimenting with mixed media , using their creativity and imaginations with products including Modelling Paste , Texture Sand , Cosmic Shimmers , stencils , stamps , and Media Fluid Acrylic paints .
Sunday . A day for the diehards . Peggy ’ s last session , cute , fluffy birds . While the class was busy the rest of us were taking down displays , packing away sale items , and getting ready for the return to normality .
After the AGM and traditional group meal , our paint-til-late session was split between Diane ’ s giant toad and Clare and Debra letting us experiment with Powertex - a fabric stiffening product from which you can create sculptures . Again best described in pictures .
