I so thrilled to announce the Woodland Chic Texture Sheet officially is available at Rio! It seems like it’s been forever that Candace Gates of Dynasty Stamps asked me to be part of her Artisan Series. She’s asked a handful of artists to participate by designing texture sheets. Wonderful artists like Gordon Uyehara, Wanaree Tanner, Christi Friesen to name a few also participated by creating their own texture sheets. It was a fun and exciting challenge.
Now I’m able to announce the fruits of our labor! I was able to extend concepts that I’ve outlined in my book Woodland Chic: Metal Clay Jewelry as Nature Intended. It’s the perfect companion tool the book!
One of the reasons that I’m so excited is that I know that the quality of Dynasty Stamps is the best! Clean sharp impressions. Another reason is the size of the sheet. I’ve heard from a handful of artists who have seen the sheet. They all commented that it’s HUGE! Not the usual 2″ x 4″ sheet. BUT a full 7-1/4″ x 8-3/4″ Chock full of designs inspired by the forest. Over 30 design elements! Check out the email screen shot from Rio below.
Also check out the free tutorials online at Rio!
As part of the introduction to the Woodland Chic Texture Sheet, Rio asked me to write 2 tutorials. I’ve used 2 of my favorite textures from the sheet. The fern leaf and the wild roses cluster. Check out these 2 tutorials on the Rio site at Rio Tutorial. Thanks to the team at Rio for making this happen. Yvonne, Tara, Diana, Jeff and Shelby! You guys are the best! Also a HUGE thanks to Candace Gates the woman extraordinaire behind Dynasty Stamps. HUGS!
Also in the next few days I’ll be announcing the members of the Woodland Chic Design Team. These fabulous artists have been working with the new Woodland Chic Texture Sheet and they have created some stunning work! I’ll can wait to post them and show you the creative work that they have made!
