THE LAST CLASS OR HOW I MONO PRINTED MY WAY TO HAPPINESS

IT WAS THE LAST DAY OF CLASSES. THE  EXCITEMENT WAS  ELECTRIFYING  THE AIR IN EVERY BREATHE WE WERE TAKING..... WE DIDN'T WANT THE WEEK TO END. WE HAD TO RELISH EVERY MOMENT......


TWO LOVLEY LADIES WHO MAKE MY HEART BEAT FASTER WHEN I'M TALKING TO THEM AS THEY ARE SO VERY TALENTED AND CHARMING.......  KATHIE AND JUDY



JUDY STARTED THE DAY DEMONSTRATING MONO PRINTING , USING A GRIDLE AND MONO PLATE. THE LUSCIOUS JUCY WAX GLIDED ON WITH EASE.

BRING OUT YOUR INNER CHILD AND JUST GO FOR IT GIRLY!



YOU TOO CAN PRODUCE WONDERFUL, PLAYFUL  PRINTS
Y

WE STARTED OUR SECOND DEMO WITH A PLEXI GLASS PLATE AND PAINTING OR DRIPPED WAX  

WEAR GLOVES DARLING AND FINGER PAINT TO YOUR HEARTS CONTENT, THEN YOU GET THREE, NOT ONE BUT THREE  DIFFERENT CHANCES TO RUB THE PAINT TO THE DESIRED AMOUNT ON THE PLATE,  BETWEEN SOME BLANKETS, THROUGH THE ROLLER PRESS ....... 
AND..... DRUM ROLL PLEASE CHECK OUT THE RESULTS


CAROL, JUDY, CAROL, JANE,  PATRICIA, MISAKO, LINDA AND TRACY ARE INTENT TO GET IT RIGHT





SMILING WITH WAXY HAPPINESS IN BZ'S APRONS
