And the shows begin...

Spring has definitely sprung here. The sun is shining, the grass is green and my first craft show is this weekend. Come see me from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm at the Russell Curling Club in Russell On. Check out some of the other vendor on the facebook event page too. As usual I've been trying to get more pieces finished before the show. I know I was suppose to be getting stock done all winter but it doesn't matter how much I have done I just have to get a few more done before the show. It's how I roll!

This necklace is resin in a copper wire frame on vintage sheet music.

Here is a new earring design that will be at the show. I have a few variations of these with different things riveted on the textured copper. 

If you can't make it to Russell this weekend I'll be at the Glebe Community Centre next weekend for Glamour in the Glebe.

I must get back to finishing more jewelry. Hope to see you soon. 

Happy Creating.

Metal embossing workshop

Last week I participated in the Ottawa Catholic School boards annual Mosaic Art event. This is my second year teaching metal embossing to these teens from grade 7 to 12. It's wonderful to see the talent and variation in the creations of these students. Sorry for the glare on some of the photos, it's so hard to take good pics of metal without ideal lighting and my favourite camera! Enjoy and be inspired.

Book swap of the year.

The ATC group that I belong to does a book swap once a year. We choose a theme, give ourselves a few months to work on it and have to do as many pages as there are people that sign up. This year the theme was favourite quotes and we had to make 10 pages. So when done we get a page from each person to put our own book together however we like. As usual this years book pages were outstanding. It was so fun to see all the quotes chosen as well as the variety of art that was created. It's also interesting to see how different people work. Some do all different pages, while some do a variation on the same and some do one and make copies for everyone.

I forgot to take a group photo of my pages so I did a mosaic in photoshop to share for now and will share some individual ones later.

Next I will be sharing with you some fantastic work from a group of High school students that I taught a few days ago. But first I have to get the photos ready for you. 

Happy Creating!

Things that Bite ATC swap

Here are the ATC trades for this month and the theme was 'things that bite'. The Tin Man thought there would be some vampires amoung them but I didn't think this was a vampire type group and I guess I was right this time!

As always it's so fun to see the variations on a theme.

Tomorrow I'll share the book swap we did.

Happy Creating!

ATC swap for last month.

Louise

It's been a very busy week with lots of visuals to share, so it may take me a few days to get it all on here. I had our ATC group meeting here this month and along with our usual monthly swap we still needed to do last months swap, which was canceled due to weather, as well as out book swap that we do once a year.
Today I'm going to share last months ATC theme swap with you which was 'trees'.
