Tim Holtz Sent Me An E-mail...
I've been accepted to Ranger U! Here's the deal:
We will be hosting a full 3-day program that has so much to offer - Tim Holtz, Ranger Senior Designer and Education Director will be teaching Ink, Paints and Embossing and Suze Weinberg, licensed designer of the Melt Art® line will show how to use UTEE™ and the Melting Pot™ for your papercrafting and jewelry-making customers. Talented mixed-media collage artist Claudine Hellmuth will provide creative insight and instruction with paints, Beeswax, and fine art mediums.
The previous Ranger U program was separated into three distinct certification courses. The updated format will incorporate education of the most important aspects of Ranger’s essential product lines and will still include hands-on education of product knowledge, advanced techniques and answers to frequently asked questions from the top designers and educators in the field at Ranger’s home base in Tinton Falls, NJ. We will show you how to demonstrate, teach and sell Ranger products. You will become a “Recognized Ranger Educator” and be able to promote this achievement in a number of ways. Attendees will receive a complete curriculum filled with reference material, techniques and class instructions, a teacher’s kit of product and more! We will be opening the two sessions to 25 students per session, allowing for one-on-one assistance and attention. Make new friends, network and have fun creating at Ranger.
Yay! I have wanted to take a class from Tim Holtz for a very long time. His stuff is so fun and inky (and full of techniques - my favorite!) You know that I'm obsessed with my Melting Pot, so getting to take classes with Suze Weinberg, who designed it, is going to be fantastic! And Claudine Hellmuth is another lady who I think is so cool! Love her work with beeswax, but I haven't been adventurous enough to try it. She has a new line of tinted gesso out with Ranger and I'm curious to see how they differ from my beloved Golden brand gesso...
Okay, enough gushing.
For today's Sultane project-of-the-day, I thought I'd share something that uses the Ranger melting pot! Appropriate, no?
Using the fabulous double-sided papers from the Art Quarelle collection...
and the Ranger Melting Pot, I made this ring and these earrings...
People seem to think they're stone until they touch them. Then they think they're plastic. You should see the shock when I tell them that they're paper! I love wearing them!
And finally, a sale...
Spend 40 Earn 10

With all the new goodies arriving daily, it couldn't be a more fun time to stop by for a little retail therapy! But to add earning gift certificates while you shop...This is just pure BLISS!
