Here's a project that I did with my art students last year that I thought would be fun to share with you.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I found the idea for this project on an awesome website called, <u><b>www.deepspacesparkle.com</b></u>. You'll love it. This project is absolutely one of my very favorites. It's fun and produces great results for any age especially K-8 and even teens and adults. I'm planning to try this project myself with a simplified version of our Cincy skyline. I'll let you know how it turns out. You could try your city, too. I'll share with you a list of supplies and instructions on how to do it and I'll show you some amazing samples of some of my students masterpieces.</div>

<br />
Instructions:<br />
<br />
1. Discuss the artist Vincent van Gogh and his painting " ,Starry Night ". He is known for his energetic brushstrokes, daring color combinations and simple but amazing compositions.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
2. Using a black sharpie marker draw all of your buildings large on the bottom 2/3 of the paper.<br />
Then draw doors, windows and chimneys. Then draw large stars and a moon in the sky.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
3. Color in the windows and yeah patterns to the buildings using pale colored crayons. Press hard so the crayon will resist the watercolor paint.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
4. Now mix watercolors in the egg crate and begin to paint the buildings starting from left and go to the right. I recommend not using yellow or whatever color you're planning to use for your sky. Paint each building starting at the top and working your way down. Do not outline in the paint and then fill it in because this does not work very well with watercolors.When all your buildings are finished paint the roofs and doors.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
5. Using yellow crayon or a another pale color draw swirly patterns in the sky then color in your<br />
moon and stars pressing hard.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
6. Now mix enough of your sky color into your palette, then paint the sky area right on top of the stars and moon and swirls. Don't worry because they will resist because of the wax. Allow to dry or blow dry completely.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
7. Now use candlewax to draw over your swirls, stars and moon once again. Then paint another layer of sky color once again to make nice and rich.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
8. For the finishing touch use a toothbrush to spatter colored paint on top of the entire painting making it look like night time.<br />
<br />
The students worked through the project step by step with me for 2 classes making a total of 3 hours.<br />
They were so proud of their work when they were finished.<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">First, I traced then cut all the shapes used from the papers this required 4 sheets of paper from the <a href="http://marcomcentral.app.pti.com/printone/catalog.aspx?uigroup_id=13711&setcookiedetect=1#&&/wEXBAULQ2F0YWxvZ1ZpZXcFATEFD1BhZ2VOdW1iZXJJbmRleAUBMAUMSXRlbXNQZXJQYWdlBQIxMgUIUGFnZU5vZGUFBjY5NTE0OOpXn9sTrJfwkNiIwUSWq3fC1bzy"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Holiday Combination Pack</span></a>.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Next, I traced the large heart shape twice on the piece of tan chipboard which comes with the paper pack to make the front and back of the heart basket. After I cut the chipboard, I used spray glue to attach the medium heart first to the board then the small heart next and added a stitching pattern with deep red color pencil.<br />
<br />
Then I started on the holiday flower – I stitched all three layers of the flower with the button in the center to hold the flower together. Finally I added pieces of foam tape in between the flower layers to give them dimension and added more foam tape on the bottom of the flower to attach it to the hearts and did the same with the leaves.<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I glued the bottom half of the chipboard hearts together with hot glue to make the basket. I curled black wire together with red beads to make the handle. After this, I attached the wire to the heart. I did this by poking 2 small holes into the chipboard with a push pin, pushed the wire through and twisted it back around at both ends. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcDX9GMVjNN9AcqI1O1B_Aq-cEMYgfM66B8huIaLVbW340t7UADjniujVOVJzQEsA3exdppNWHAkhVF8DRLzRNRV5T-gpO2DhS_XtSqXX-U_7uenhxnVNqh8qfMAmF7E6_PzMnRhGQ7cY/s1600/TW_Heart_basket_WIRE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcDX9GMVjNN9AcqI1O1B_Aq-cEMYgfM66B8huIaLVbW340t7UADjniujVOVJzQEsA3exdppNWHAkhVF8DRLzRNRV5T-gpO2DhS_XtSqXX-U_7uenhxnVNqh8qfMAmF7E6_PzMnRhGQ7cY/s1600/TW_Heart_basket_WIRE.jpg" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">And the final touch was to tie a green raffia bow onto the left side of the heart right where the wire was connected to the board. Added some candy canes and I was finished:)<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

I am always amazed at what <a href="http://kittiekraft.typepad.com/kittiekraft/2012/11/gingham-clean-and-simple-christmas-window.html"><span style="color: magenta;">Kittie</span></a> is able to do with papers and dies! She did it again with turning papers to create this beautiful pair of windows and flower box. It's hard to believe the curtains, flowers,greens and windows are all formed from papers. Stop by her blog to see tutorials on how she creates these materpieces:) <br />

Cardinals are my favorite winter bird (well truthfully I love chickadees too) their red is so perfect for use on many backgrounds. And they all say "Holidays" even without the words. They stand out so beautifully on a cool winter's walk in the woods as well.<br />

Designers amaze me, how Michelle brought together these separate pieces so quickly and made such a wonderful image is wonderful:)<br />

<br />
The blue buttons and ribbon with the way she used the papers are perfect. Using both for the main Christmas red background and then used the light blue star patterned paper as a border with the dark blue paper similar to the buttons as well as the gray edge of the card. And then, tying it all together with the blue gray ribbon.<br />
<br />

<br />
I especially like the way she reversed the color of the snow patterned papers on the inside. Putting the red stripe of paper on the light blue is perfect!<br />
<br />

Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
I thought I'd show you some more of the new collection for winter from <a href="http://www.stampavie.com/browse-products-releases-c-96_158.html" target="_blank">Stampavie</a>.<br />
These were so much fun to design and draw I can't wait to share all twenty with you!<br />
Each one has a special place in my heart because I always love to draw from Holiday<br />
memories of my own children who are now grown. Also, winter critters are my<br />
absolute favorite critters of all.<br />

Hi everyone!!<br />
<br />
It's been awhile, understatement, since Easter that I posted a page. thanks for your patience:)<br />
<br />
There will be more, especially some of the craft projects I've taught to the enrichment class I've been teaching. The kids are so much fun and so inspiring to be around because they are wonderfully creative.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
But today I wanted to be sure and let everyone know there are new designs coming out from Stampavie for Christmas that we are really excited about. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Hope you like them as much as me. Also, if you could, the new designs haven't been promoted as much and if you could just mention them on your blogs or Facebook pages we would greatly appreciate your help. Here are a couple of the new ones...hope you like them:)<br />

Pickup a pack of paper mache eggs at your local craft store then paint them with acrylic craft paints. I found better results starting with a base coat of paint as a primer, add other colors on top with a brush or sponge then seal with water based semi-gloss varnish. So much fun!!!!<br />
<br />
Hope you all have a Blessed Easter:)<br />

I just wasn’t sure if I would rather be one myself or bring out the creativity of others through teaching. <br />
You all know that the path I chose was to become an illustrator myself. I wouldn’t trade my career as an illustrator for any other. I truly love what I do. It’s just that things are <br>always changing and the feast or famine conditions that we artist face can be challenging.<br />
This brings me to what I’m excited to blog about. I’m teaching after school Art Enrichment Classes now and loving every minute of it. Twice a week I‘m working with some amazing talented kids at the same grade school my children attended. I’m so blessed to be able to now enjoy the best of both worlds, teaching and creating. At the same time, these wonderfully creative kids truly inspire me in my own work.<br />
I’m having so much fun that I decided to share some of the fun projects with you. You could try some of these yourself or share them with your kids. There wasn’t a day that went by in the Wenke house, when my kids were little, where there wasn’t some creative project happening. There was a lot of bonding time going on while we created art together. Now that my kids are older, I really miss that.<br />
Here are the beautiful woven duct tape purses that some of the girls made. Aren’t the color combinations and the patterns they have chosen fabulous? I posted them on the Duct Bran website. I am sooo proud of them:) The bags are made of strips of tape backed with felt and woven together. Then you add a strap and attach with heavy duty snaps. It’s really very, very, easy and very, very, fun! I’m told the girls are toting them wherever they go. I’ve done a few duct tape classes for adults as well. Duct tape is just fun for all ages. Don’t you think?<br />

Pysanke Easter Eggs<br />
<br />
This past week I was blessed with an amazing opportunity to learn the art of creating brilliantly colored Pysanky eggs. A delightful artistic couple in my community hosted a gathering. We learned a brief history of this wonderful Ukrainian tradition that began before the birth of Christ and is now a Lenten ritual in that country. We also learned the technique of creating them.<br />
<br />
Many of these beautiful eggs are highly decorated with intricate patterns and symbols intended to bring the person who receives it love, health, fertility, or any blessing the artist wishes. Since we had a limited amount of time I chose organic shapes and abstract patterns because I knew I was going to make a lot of mistakes and they would be easily camouflaged. I was rather pleased with my results.<br />

The technique works like batik where you work in reverse using layers of wax and dies working light to dark. Then finally heating the wax and wiping off the layers to magically reveal the masterpiece. It was soooo much fun!<br />

I think I’m going to invest in some supplies of my own and make it a Wenke/Pysanke tradition.

They licensed some of my art for their Valentine's day products. The best part is they<br />
include the candy in each sample!!! They did a wonderful job in designing the tins and<br />
printing. It's soooo fun to receive samples:)<br />

Over the weekend I worked on my first video tutorial and posted it on my <b><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tina-Wenke-Artwork">facebook page</a></b> on how I paint with water color pencils. I painted one of my <b><a href="Stampavie Winter Collection stamps">Stampavie Winter Collection stamps</a></b> and made an ornament out of it. It was sooo much fun! It's not perfect- out of focus and very looong. But hope you'll check it out anyway. You may have to squint your eyes some and fast forward a little, LOL. It's not about having it all right the first time, it's a journey and learning as I go. <br />
<br />
Not sure if any of you know this, but I work alongside my husband Mike. He's a graphic designer and he's the one who takes my artwork and turns it into something that someone can actually use. Also, he is a very talented artist himself. He sits silently in the wings allowing me to get all the credit. Mike inspired the filming and edited the video for me. An amazing jack' of all trades, Mike is not afraid to try something new.<br />
I love video how-to's because "we" creative people are visual learners- we learn with our eyes and our fingers. My very best teachers were the ones who actually sat down and took the time to demonstrate. <br />
<br />
Can't wait to work on some other projects and to share more of the fun things I have learned with you:)<br />
