class round up

I'm so sorry, I have been neglecting my blog a little bit of late. I've been really busy teaching classes and planning my schedule for next year. Not only am I planning my trip to CHA, we are working on classes for next year, planning when we should have our sale, organising Artsycrafts for 2011 as well as running the shop!!!!!

So here's a little round up of class information. On Monday 8th November a group of eight ladies travelled all the way from Holland to take my Printers Tray class, it was a thoroughly miserable day weather wise.....it could not possibly have rained any more than it did.....just awful but it certainly didn't dampen the spirits of these lovely ladies. They must have been exhausted by the time they got home that night but they all did a great job with their projects so hopefully it was worth being tired!!! Another big class this week saw 10 lovely ladies taking part in my "Paperartsy meets metal" class. It was the first time I had taught this class and they all did an amazing job to finish the complete project. So thank you Anna, Christine, Penny, Sue, Jill, Sweta, Karen, Allyson, Toh ee and Mel.....you all made it a fun day.

Here's a close up of Jill's work in progress.

I think these hands belong to Sue....she' antiquing her embossed copper strips.

Penny is now know the queen of goop (Inka Gold)....she's addicted to the stuff and here she is hogging all the goop for herself!!!! Sorry Penny, I couldn't resist, I know you didn't really hog it all.

And this is the class sample of what they made.

A couple of close up shots.

It's all things metal, Paperartsy stamps and lots of paint and goop.....all my favourite things!! Have you tried painting on the pearl metal with goop.....it's sooooo pretty!
