[OOC: Hey, I finally have a Workshop Info Post!]

"Okay, campers!" Tick said. "This week, we're going to be working on a project with glass that - if you want - you could submit to the Art Fair next week. We will be making faux stained glass today, and if you do it right, it can look downright keen!"

"You each have instruction sheets, a bottle of liquid lead to outline your image on the glass, paint brushes, and paint. Up here at the front table, you can pick up some cleaned and sanded glass and there's a lot of simple pictures from coloring books and clipart for you to use."

"Just remember, after applying the liquid lead, you should give it one to two hours to dry before applying paint. So once you get the liquid lead on there, you should move on to your scrapbooking."

"Speaking of which, last week, you started adding text to your scrapbooks. This week we'll be working on adding even more words, a thousand at a time! That's right, campers! This week we'll be using pictures! But these won't be pictures from magazines. You'll be taking these! After applying the liquid lead to your glass, come up here and take a disposable camera. There are 24 exposures. Try to take 24 pictures of anything you want, even if you have to get a picture of the grass or your hand."

"You can go ahead and wander around for up to two hours after applying your liquid lead. Return here with your cameras, get to work on your painting, and I'll have these developed for next week when you'll be working the pictures into your scrapbooks."

"Let's get to work!"

Paint Your Glass! [WS3]

You have your image outlined on your glass! Color it!

If you were to look over Jaye's shoulder, you might see that she's gone the simplistic route. The glass is mostly painted blue, though there seem to be white blocks in lines seemingly randomly in the middle of it.

Tempe walked by Jaye on her way to get more paint. She looked at Jaye's project. "Hey, that's really pretty."

"I'm going for a not-so abstract piece," Jaye says. "I've decided to start a movement called 'simplistique', or something. They'll talk about it in art books for years. Oh, and thanks."

"Works for me," Tempe replied. "You're welcome."

Then, as an afterthought, she stuck her hand out and said, "Hi, I'm Tempe Brennan."

"Jaye Tyler," she says, shaking her hand. "Hey. Newbie?"

Re: Paint Your Glass! [WS3]

"Yeah," Tempe replied. "You?"

She shook her hair out, intending to put it in a ponytail, to get it out of the way while painting. Little bits of glitter flew out and landed on Jaye. Tempe blushed. "Sorry. I honestly thought I'd gotten rid of it all."

"Oldbie," she says. "Also, glitter? Not possible. You'll still be finding it years from now. Guaranteed."

"Well, that's good to know," Tempe said, sighing. "I guess it just goes to show that getting attacked by a bucket of glitter can have long-lasting effects."

She paused. "Are you speaking from experience?"

"Ask Luke about me sometime," she nods sagely.


[Am about to head back to work, will be back in a couple hours.]

Tempe made a mental note to find out who Luke was. "Will do," she replied. "I should get back to my project. Very nice meeting you, Jaye." She grinned, and then wandered back to her seat.

[OOC: No problem!]

Sakurazaki uses lots of blues and greens and reds and blacks, but very little white. As little white as possible. But she's very good at painting, using delicate, very Japanese calligraphy style strokes. She likes the painting; it's relaxing, even if the unfinished pieces of glass are currently marked with random Japanese characters.

Tempe set to work on painting her glass. She painted the pyramids a sandy-color, and the camel dark brown. When she was done, her picture was very colorful (http://touregypt.net/kids/Color4.jpg). And the camel may have had glittery feet. Because, yay, glitter!

Getting back from taking her photos, Luna began to fill in her design with all the pastels she could find.

She'd glue other things to it later.

After her squiggly lines, some containing hearts had dried. Maia took an assortment of colors and just dabbed the colors onto the glass at random with no pattern to the color arrangement whatsoever. This was fun, this was as fun as the day she discovered play-dough.

Kaylee began painting her glass as delicately as possible. Of course, it wasn't perfect, but she didn't mind. She was enjoying this assignment.

Hamlet grabbed the bottle of black paint and proceeded to use it to colour most of his picture, with only the occasional blobs of other tones. He ran out of black near the end of the painting, and grumbled as he grabbed other bottles of paints.
