Dragon Skin Technique







Day two I demonstrated how to make 'Dragon Skin' as it is affectional known as.
Ironing different plastics between baking parchment and then colouring it with 
oil pastels,acrylic paints and Angelina Fibres.
Some of my students came to the studio and brought their husbands too! 
So, three generations inside looking at the work in the studio and the gentlemen enjoying the veranda in the garden. All were more than happy as you can see.
See some of the mixed media cards that I have made with the Dragon Skin HERE

Working on the Veranda






Everyday of Open Studios I demonstrated a different technique and often worked on the veranda. Judy was my first visitor to the studio twenty minutes after it opened and after a look round got straight in there and made some muslin paper as she had admired the demo postcards on the table. We had fun sticking and gluing. It was such a hot day within the hour her muslin paper had dried on the patio area. I am so lucky to have such a lovely area to work in and it is great sharing it with visitors and students.
