Dear MCS Members,
Hurray, we all survived the record setting heat wave. Looking forward to the fall season and cooler weather.
Our work day meeting on August 6th provided the opportunity for many interesting and varied projects. Thanks to Nancy Swingle many of us learned how to add beads to books and other projects. Thanks Nancy for organizing this opportunity.
Plan to attend the September 10th meeting when Barb Thompson will show us her technique for wonderful portrait collages. Be sure to read on for the materials to bring to this meeting.
For those of you planning to participate in the "Congruent Fragments" exhibit at Tall Grass Arts Association Gallery and in need of having someone bring your artwork to the Gallery, bring it to the MCS Meeting on September 11th. Volunteers have agreed to deliver it for you.
Margi Hafer has provided all of us planning to attend the Fall 2023 Creativity Retreat with updated information. Be sure to read it thoroughly so that you are fully prepared for five delightful days of creativity.
Take care,
Nancy Castner
President
MEETINGS
September 10th 12:00-3:00 - Barb Thompson will be teaching us her technique for doing portrait collage. She will be bringing canvases for all of us.
Here is a list of what you will need to bring:
- A photo portrait of who you want for your collage and a Xerox copy of that photo to use for the collage. The Xerox copy should be 8.5”X11” so the image will fill the canvas. (The photo can be enlarged on the copy machine)
- Pencil,scissors,matte medium, brush.
- Color tissue papers, painted papers, etc.,you want to use for the collage. Thin papers work better for layering.
- A shallow 9X12 box to carry your collage home in.
