"Layers" An Adventure in Colors for Altered Books
These are a few of my samples for the "Layers" An Adventure in Color for Altered Books class, that will be taught at
Absolutely Everything in Topsfield, Massachusetts April 20, 21 & 22
This class was developed as a result of using everything that was laying out on my worktable that day.
Needless to say I was very happy with the colorful results!!!
The spread above, was featured in issue number 2 of Cloth, Paper, Scissors Magazine as a workshop article.

More techniques learned, dyed & distressed pages, using Dorland's Wax, shimmer & sparkle & gel medium fun!!!
On these pages we have encased an autumn leaf and created a hand ripped cutout shown under the tree.
This is one of the techniques also taught, hand ripped and paper layered pockets.

These are all amazing, I particularly like the child in the tree. I have your book and am amazed at the variety of background ideas - now I find more here! You are one talented lady.
It would be a delight to be in one of your classes.
Beautiful pages, Bernie. I would love to take your workshop when you come to the Artist's Nook in Fort Collins!
Gorgeous Bernie, I remember reading that article in CPS. The pages are stunning.
keep well. When are you coming down here to teach???
Fabulous work Bernie and I love the cards in the previous post. I've just received your book from Amazon and can't wait to try some of your techniques. It's a fantastic book, thanks for sharing your ideas with us.
Bernie - after today's class "Burnt and Bound" I am learning to think in layers. I wish I had signed up for class tomorrow also for "Layers" - I'll just have to wait for the tutorial in the next book. It is about 2:00 am and as I expected, I am staying up and trying to finish the 5x7's and the ATC sizes wraps. What fun!
Thanks again, Miriam
Have been checking out your "Place to Bark" for some time now and bought a copy of your book when it first came out.
Your blog is beautiful. I love the torn pocket page. The colors in the previous posts ATCs are amazing. I look forward to seeing more .
So this is the amazing Bernie Berlin! Also of a Place to Bark! Glad to have found you. You're coming to Ft. Collins?

You make such amazing art! It's so vibrant and beautiful. I'm so glad you stopped by. That was so funny standing in line at CHA last year...I'm sure you thought me a bit of a lunatic.
Yes, I'll be at CHA! I'd love to see you, let me know if you're going.
Best,
Margot
My deepest compliments, Bernie - you are such a great artist and I love the art work you do. So it's always a pleasure to have a look on your page(s). Your ATC book was the first creative book I bought - very inspiring. I also love your dedication for animals, I have 2 cats and my friend a dog. All the best from Manja
These are great! I hope to take a class next time you are in Topsfield! How can I be in a mailing list or do you have any dates?
Thank you for visiting one of my blogs and leaving such incouraging compliments. I hope you visit my updated one sometime. http://jmkoriginals.typepad.com/
Gorgeous and inspiring-I wish we had classes like that around here (oklahoma city).
After purchasing your book and being thrilled my your creations I had to find your blog, creative and animal resuce alike (both are close to my heart).
I love your work, arty and hairy (the animals that it is!). I was passed a blog Pico award, and had to award this to you as you are an inspiration.
If you have time please visit my blog to pick it up!

Wow Bernie there are amazing. I'm about to start an altered book class, so these are very inspiring. I've also recently purchased your ATC workshop book and am really enjoying it. This is the first one I've attempted from techniques in your book. Will definitely be bookmarking this site.
Bernie - It's so good to see some more of your work! These are beautiful and may get me back to altering books! I took your ATC workshop on the Yahoo group and loved it! Wish you could come out to Colorado and do a workshop!

Do you still do art? Maybe you post at another blog?
I love the colors you use, very beautiful!
Your art is fantastic! What a wonderful Blog you have! I do enjoy seeing your artwork.
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
How beautiful!! I am getting ready to start my first altered book.. Im a bit excited about it!
All beautiful pieces. They both stand alone and work well together. I love your work.
Oh Bernie this book is just beautiful! Would love to take one of your classes sometime:)
Nice post! It's influential and inspiring. It's really catchy that any reader can get determined to read the whole post until the end. Keep it up!
I love the layers of marks, color and textures. The colors are bright and vibrant and seem to glow. Also the journals are very loose and expressive. Wonderful and stunning work.
