Both Carol and Leslie could elaborate on this much better then me - but - I can imagine a card that has been created by stencilling large butterfly shapes in groups with a splatter effect so that the butterflies are the colours of the rainbow? And then I can imagine that a very clever artist might be able to rubber stamp lots of tiny, weeny, itty bitty buterryflies in the distance using a different colour ink for each one. In butteryflyish, groupedness of course. Bunches of flutterbys is what I mean.
Woops...... now I want to go off and do that -but I hope the reader sees in his or her imagination what I mean.
Now there are many ways this eclectic approach is being applied all over the Arts and Crafts section of SuiteU. Carol for example has come up with plaster stenciling that she combines with acrylic painting. Because she taught that idea to me - I have come up with the idea of slip casting into the same stencils and creating similar designs - however I want to acheive a different effect in ceramics.
12 June 2002 Plaster Stencilling Techniques. This short instructional piece has been written to support the article Elegance In A Bucket. It is a concise article about the techniques Victoria Larsen uses when she creates unique designs and stencils for her chosen medium Plaster Stencilling.
We all have a bit of a 'dibs in' at the Visual Literacy - A Course In Drawing. because that one is truly eclectic in nature. Nature!....!!!!
after doing the drawing course Brenda our resident Drawing Nature Guru has come up with a course of her own. (Soon to be published along side Leslie's.) Eclectic is not the descriptor for Brenda .....she is dabbling in it all.

Sooooo am I getting at some thing? What made you think that? I would like to invite you to seriously think about getting involved.
- Do you have a hobby or an art form that you really would like to share with others?
- Would you like to get involved with the nicest, friendliest group of people who share their knowledge freely and support each other every step of the way?
