Presenting an image from each project on the An Altered Journey DVD. From this page you can click on a sample image to see a larger graphic. In addition, we have included a brief description of each presented project. Of course, some things just cannot be adequately expressed via a single snapshot...and that is why we are so passionate about creating instructional DVDs.

	*Brushless Watercolor* Tim creates wonderful watercolor effects without ever using a brush. With ink pads, rubber stamps, and water you'll create simple yet stunning artwork.
*Distressing with Ink* Make something new look old again with Distress Inks. Tim demonstrates how easy it is to create a vintage look on greeting cards, scrapbook pages, and books.
	*Alcohol Ink Agates* Using alcohol inks you can create beautiful backgrounds that look like polished agate. Using white glossy paper and a bit of ink, Tim creates gorgeous cards and scrapbook pages.
*Brayered Embossing* Tim uses punches in new ways. With this technique, he takes punched letters and transforms them into embossed images with alcohol ink, silver tape, and a small brayer. Tim shows how this technique lends itself to greeting cards, scrapbook pages, picture frames and more.
	*Faux Batik* Traditionally, batik requires using hot wax as a resist. Tim uses embossing powder as a resist to create a batik look on paper and silk. It is easy to create your own luscious silk scarf.
*Fragments from Clay* With black polymer clay and pigment powder, Tim demonstrates how easy it is to create unique pendants.
	*Faux Soldering* Turn mini collages into timeless embellishments and/or jewelry. Using Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel, pieces of glass, and a bit of flex, Tim demonstrates a faux soldering technique that is both simple and elegant.
