Lorraine Babin(right) and Marlyne Galipeau(left) have been friends for 25 years,

and somewhere in our hearts we knew that one day we would be in business together.

It was a dream and now with Powertex the dream come through.

Together we have taken a course last August and we were very
impress about the infinite possibility with that product.

After having done a few figurines we decide to start a business together.
At the end of September we signed with the Québec distributor
Pin-So as a regional representative for Powertex products.

In middle of October we had the opportunity to go to the Salon des métiers
d'arts et loisirs créatifs at St-Hyacinthe where we discovered that
people were very interested by what we were doing and
wanted to take a course with us and with the products.

We are planning on opening a retail/classroom space in May

"the ice maiden" by Tracey Evans

I covered my canvas with ivory and lead Powertex hardener in a random pattern. Once fully dried I transferred the image using Powerprint, my main concern here was making sure the Powerprint was spread evenly and didn’t dry out anywhere before I put the image down ready for the transfer, it’s important to be quick and thorough when using a larger image otherwise it can be so disappointing to reveal your image and find a crucial bit hasn’t transferred

I added a little more hardener and gently worked in some Stone Art powder, picking up the texture by dry brushing with ivory Powertex hardener once everything was dry.

I chose some pieces of cotton lace ‘snowflakes’ to embellish my piece and rubbed in ivory hardener before applying them onto my canvas. I then used a stencil and some Easy structure to add interest in my corners, you can see detail of this above.

A touch of silver and gold colortrix and I was done!

What about the little birdcages I hear you ask?

I have no excuse for that, I liked them and felt they were right for the spot!
