well bloggers the fun continues with day two of ranger u. yesterday was a great day filled with techniques and more creativity. claudine hellmuth started the day with her fresh and whimsical style of colorful and mixed media goodness. the students were up to their elbows (not literally) exploring Claudine's signature paints, mediums, and sticky-back canvas. the results were amazing! mid-day everyone seemed to be counting the minutes until lunchtime where the famed "square pizza" made it's annual ranger u appearance. this timeless traditional lunch has been served at ranger u since it began and word has definitely spread throughout the attendees – yum! i was next up to finish the day with all things distress. the students learned a variety of techniques using every product in the distress line from embossing powders to stickles, crackle paints to ink pads, and most anticipated – the distress stains! here we added another 15 techniques to our growing ring of technique tags. today, it's all about adirondack and the incredible range of products in this signature ranger palette. i'll be back tomorrow to wrap it all up for you….t!m
