Some exciting news to share
Tim Holtz is not coming to us
but I
am going to see him
Ranger U is an intense workshop taught at Ranger Headquarters.
I will learn all about the products that Ranger sells,
get a tour of the factory and see how they make everything.
(I am definitely a geek who loves to see behind the scenes)
I get to spend time with some very talented designers in the industry
and get to hang out with Mario!
thrilled and honored to be chosen
They get an overwhelming number of talented people applying from all over the WORLD and accept so very few people.
and I was selected,
It's a BIG DEAL
I got an email from Tim Holtz himself on Sunday night and I squealed with excitement.
Me, going to Ranger U. . . . . What an incredible opportunity
It has been hard to keep the secret
I will be learning some awesome techniques
from the Master of Distress Tim Holtz
I will be sharing my experience and knowledge with you over the next few months
as we do even more make n takes, classes and demos based on what I learn
and who knows, maybe I can persuade Tim to visit South Florida.
Going to Ranger U is one of the items on my Bucket List that I can almost cross off.
Squeal, they picked me!!

Vintaj Patinas
Vintaj Patinas
Vintaj Patinas are opaque inks specially formulated by Ranger to adhere to metal. They create beautiful and durable patina effects. The Patinas will colorize Vintaj natural brass findings and filigrees for gorgeous jewelry and embellishments.
Available in a palette of 15 hues, the Patinas can be blended and layered to create endless patina effects. Sold in sets of three, the color combinations were developed to mimic natural patinas that would occur over time.
I made some really cool pieces using the patinas when I was at the trade show.
You would think I would have taken a photo of the finished pieces but apparently I am not that smart.
I do however have photos of the Patina Kits :)
