I'm Inspired

Just thought I would share some fun I have been having with the one the only Finnabair!!!!! I took advantage of the fact she was touring Australia and signed up for 3 of her classes. I was as happy as a pig in pooh!!! I got so dirty inky and gluey(is that even a word???) and loved every minute of the experience. She was a wonderful inspiration and teacher, I was awestruck at first and a little shy as I have been admiring her work for so long, but she made everyone feel welcome as she let us loose on all her new products!!!

Here is what I came up with in my creative frenzy!!
This is the back of a canvas, just loved doing this one!

What do you think of my winged rocking horse?

                           

This is the front cover of an art journal. So much paint on this one!!



And this is the back cover: 


I also did a LO but have not taken a good photo of it as yet so I will save that till later! Just could not contain my excitement so I just had to show and tell!!!!
Of to play some more!!

  4. Michelle I can only imagine how you felt, just how I would feel if I did a class of yours because I've admired you for years. I just picked up some steampunk Scrapfx the other day at the SW and I wish I had been able to attend a class with Finnibar, it might have given me some ideas of how to use them.
