Day 1 consisted of looking at all of our kit parts and painting the window and door jams and the fireplace/oven. We had a choice of having the oven with an opening beneath it for wood or above the oven for a warming shelf. I chose the upper.
The fireplace was made out of resin from an original sculpt that Rik made. It was primed grey and we used burnt umber,iron oxide,Hippo grey and orange to randomly paint the brick with light washes. Paints were Delta acrylics.

Patty,
ReplyDeleteI have been waiting for you to post about this. I am so glad you enjoyed it. I can't wait to read all about your class!!!!!!!! No skimping on all the details. ;-)) Be glad I don't have your phone number I would call you to ask all about it. LOL
It was so great! I have so much information to share with all of you and some great photos. You all will be able to work with paper clay by the time I am through!!!
ReplyDeleteCatherine, I was thinking of you because you want to build your own dollhouse!!! You would be thrilled to know what is possible with Gator Foam and paper clay! What an incredible house can be built!
Super ! tu as de la chance .
ReplyDeletePatty,
ReplyDeleteI met Rik in Chicago. He had several of his houses there. I was astonished by how real stone can look sculpted out of Paperclay.
He is such a nice man. He was honestly happy to stand a talk to people all day, me included. There isn't a fake bone in his body. He is exactly the person he presents himself to be.
¡Que suerte poderasistir a esos talleres!
