Altered Bird Cage

As I have mentioned probably a million times I have been doing the most awesome workshop with the amazing Andy Skinner. When I first heard of Andy I was told "He is the UK version of Tim Holtz" I must disagree, he is nothing like Tim Holtz in style or media. He is our Andy Skinner and no version of anyone but a unique and amazing teacher with a wealth of mixed media knowledge and talent. All his class's are amazing, I have done a couple now and plan on doing many many more.

This project has been completed with the Timeworn Techniques class and so far has turned heads with everyone I have shown it to. I am so happy to have met Andy, he is a such a genuine and talented man!

The first two pictures are the before, the rest the after. When dark and with a candle inside it does glow quite nicely. I image transferred some map paper onto the glass to make it transparent.

Hi Again! Just cruising by and saw this post. This project came out so beautiful- I love all of the texture and aging techniques. I just discovered Andy yesterday, and I have to agree with you completely- he is not the UK version of Tim. Actually, I would have to compare him to Michael deMeng- do you know him? I think he is similar to him technique wise, but not in execution. That's just my opinion of course- but when I saw Andy's work, I thought of Michael. I'll have to post some things I've done in his workshops. I'm terribly behind! Again- beautiful project and thank you for sharing!
