It’s been a little while since we’ve heard from Kari Minnick so I was pleased to receive a fresh newsletter from her. She did recently get accepted in the Smithsonian Show, which I read about on the Facebook. In her newsletter she says she’s one of twelve glass artists. Very cool and a major congratulations to her. Some of the other things going on with her include teaching at Hot Glass Houston and working with a mixed media artist named Joan Danzinger for a show at Katzen Museum at American University. There are other things coming up next year so wander over and see what’s up. and she’s started a Facebook page for her studio. Go “Like” it. I know I will. I just love Kari’s work!

Create Stunning Cards with Solar Paste
Solar Paste created by Simon Hurly for Ranger Ink is a paste that looks very unassuming at first. It’s an almost white, light color with a creamy consistency that’s subtle on white cardstock but it really comes alive when applied to dark cardstocks. It comes in 6 different colors that each have a cool metallic shift.
Kristina decided to try it out and created three cards with different techniques with some amazing results. For one card she used the Solar Paste with a stencil, for another she created her own simple background with different colors of the paste and lastly she designed some flowers and leaves, all on dark black cardstock. She mounted the panels on white bases and added white heat embossed sentiments to complete each card idea. She’s sharing a video tutorial on making these cards with some tips for using the Solar Paste.
