January 2020 – Lori's Cards and Creations

Hello all,

Today has been a nice relaxing Sunday with some much needed time in the craft room. I wanted to do some experimenting with Tsukineko StazOn Studio Glaze on tile. I worked with some 2″ x 2″ Porcelain Glazed tiles (that I had laying around) and 3 different Studio Glaze colors (Cotton White, Spiced Chai, Gold). In the end, I also added a bit of White Radiant Neon Amplify.

I was delighted in the different textures that I could create just by spreading the glaze onto the tile with different brush strokes (used a Modge Podge Brush). The result ranged from a nice smooth texture to a very granular texture. Be sure to scroll down to find the step by step photos and instructions.

Materials used:

Porcelain Glazed Tiles, 2″ x 2″
Tsukineko StazOn Studio Glaze – Cotton White, Gold, Spiced Chai
Tsukineko Radiant Neon Amplify! – White
Tsukineko StazOn Pigment – Piano Black
Lori’s Cards & Creations – Coffee Love

Instructions:

Step 1: Apply StazOn Studio Glaze and Neon Amplify directly to porcelain tiles.

Step 2: Spread glaze with glue safe brush. Achieve fine texture by moving the glaze across the tile with smooth brush strokes or more texture by using a stippling motion. Allow to dry or use heat tool.

Step 3: Continue to apply glaze in layers until you are satisfied with the results. Remember to dry between layers.

Step 4: When the glaze is dry and the tile is cool, stamp image with StazOn Pigment Ink.

Try creating different textures. The 2″ x 2″ tiles are the perfect size for experimentation!

Hello all,

Happy New Year! It is hard to believe that we have put another year behind us. My Creative Schedule is already pretty full and that makes me happy. Creativation is only a few weeks away! You can catch me demo’ing at the Imagine® booth. I am so excited!

Next on the agenda is teaching a workshop at the Idaho Scrapbook Show on Friday, January 31st. I will be teaching a Mixed Media Workshop; creating on a mini-canvas.

To round off the early 2020 schedule, is the Utah Arts Festival Unmasked Event (open to the public from 2/7/2020 through 2/21/2020). I am creating a couple of masks to be auctioned off at this event. The first Mask that I have created is shown below, Mystical Dragonfly Mask. The mask features Dew Drops for The Robin’s Nest. Creating the wings were pretty challenging, but fun! I hope that it will do well at the auction.

My busy Creative Schedule in addition to my full-time day job has proved to be a challenge! I have had to rely heavily on my organization skills to meet my project deadlines. Being busy does make me happy so, all is good (Especially when I can keep it all together. lol)

Happy day!
