CREATE with Cloth Paper Scissors Mixed Media Art Retreat Costa Mesa

This year I had the opportunity to attend the fabulous CREATE with Cloth Paper Scissors Mixed Media Art Retreat in Costa Mesa in May.  It was an amazing, fabulous experience! So much fun! 

One of the workshops I attended  was called "Creatures and Critters" with instructors Ty and Marcia Shultz.  Though initially, it was anxiety provoking, I really enjoyed this workshop.  We worked with wire, aluminum foil, masking tape, fabric and Paverpol (a fabric hardener).  We started by creating an armature then ended with fabric and funky eyes. I finished my critter with acrylic paint at the end of the day in my hotel room.  The pictures that follow show my creation, Dottie, from armature to critter:
