"Letter Pendant" Wine & Cheese Craft Party


The Letter Pendant class was so popular this time that we had two classes to accommodate all of the interest! Here are pictures from both classes! Chrissy Gemmill is the class instructor and showed us how to do the letter stamping, oxidizing, sanding and jump ring manipulation. First we started with stamping our messages...
Once our disks were stamped, Chrissy oxidized our disks to make the letters stand out.


We put on our jump rings and added the necklace. Here are the results...

Mimosa Make & Take " Image Transfer Collage"

Muse collage artist, Courtney Prahl taught another wonderful class on Sunday! "Image Transfer Collage" Make & Take! After meeting everyone in the class we got down to techniques! Courtney shows everyone how to create a quick and easy transfer to your art!
We scrounged around through her piles of ephemera- old books, maps, papers, colored tissue paper, and more! We used these to create artist trading cards- ATCs.Using just a few simples supplies that you can find around your house we did our photo transfers!After finishing we gathered up all the ATCs to see what we all had done! We each kept one and traded one by drawing numbers! Here are our results...
