Another creative Resin Jewelry workshop

It was so much fun to have this group of ladies in my studio last weekend. This was a mothers and daughters day. They wanted to do something together and we were all able to coordinate a day to do a workshop of their choice that worked. They were a lot of fun and very creative. They did a few new shapes that worked out really nicely. As usual for the Resin Jewelry workshop these aren't completely finished but I think you can see how wonderful they are already.

Word Canvas workshop

I had a great time last weekend with a small group of very creative ladies. They all had ideas and words in mind before they came to the word canvas workshop. So each canvas turned out to be very personal to each of them.

Hilary may have forgotten her list of words at home but once she got started they came back to her and was able to create this wonderful canvas with such great meaningful words.

Lesley decided to do her word canvas with the names of all her poodles past and present. What a great keepsake.

Sharon had recently gone on a river cruise so she used maps of the river and area, as well as names of some of the cities they visited along the way. This is the second vacation canvas that she has created. A great way to remember a special vacation.

What words would you use on your canvas?

On site ATC's

For this months ATC meeting we each had to bring a small baggie of ephemera to swap and make our card on site. We have started to try to do this about once a year because it is so much fun. Some of us were even able to make a few extras to use later in our yearly mega swap. So there isn't really a theme just the challenge of creating from someone else's stash. Here are the very fun and interesting result that happened.

It's interesting to see what someone else can create with your stash. I had to make sure when I photographing them to write down who's is who's since I see other peoples styles in them depending on what bag they got.

Hope you enjoyed our swap this month.

Keep Creating!

Fun finds

Usually it's the Tin Man that goes out to estate sales and auctions to bring home fun things for me but he's been so busy with baseball this summer that I'm starting to feel like a baseball widow! So I had to take it on myself to check out a tag sale this weekend to see what good deals he was missing and I think I did pretty good.

 I think this will be good for sand paper and maybe some jewelry project in progress.

 You may have notice that I have a thing for clocks and gears so when I spotted these on Kijiji I just had to check them out. And of course if I bought them all it was a much better deal? Now to decide which to keep for my collection and which to get the Tin Man to demolish for parts!

 I don't usually buy little knick knacks and such but when I saw the inside of this mushroom it just had to come home with me.

Can you see Lord Byron(the lady bug) in his library?

And of course just a few more books for our library or possibly for altering!

This Davenport desk was the main reason I had to go check out the tag sale and to my surprise there didn't seem to be much interest in it and I was able to get it. Well I had to go just a little over the limit the Tin Man gave me. LOL.

So how is your summer going? Have you found any good deals?

Keep Creating!
