my book from Judy Wilkenfield's class

cover of my book. there's much more to embellish on the front. i 'm not crazy about the black velvet, but that was the only choice my store had. so i'll just figure out how to jazz it up and make it look old. (i would have prefered a printed velvet)

inside front cover and the first page i did.

next 2 pages ( to be worked on)

--------------------------------------------------------------

last 2 classes from Art is

this is the piece i did in Janette Schuster's "Iconography" class. i just loved this class! i got to sit next my pal Pamela Huntington and we had a great time together. we learned how to transfer an image on to metal and then turn it into our own icon. loved all the possiblities this process brings.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

my last class was with Taryn Reece of Navel Jelly Studios. we did a little project altering a child shoe and making it look old. i enjoyed the quiet of this class and just playing. i find this sort of creating very relaxing. Taryn is very talented and has the sweetest husband, Scott, who is there to help out with any possible need. a great team they make.

I just love this picture! we took it in the mirror with the flash on, which of course bounced off the mirror. we both decided that it looked like i am holding a fairy in my hands . love the smile on Jane's face.

i met Cheryl this summer at Bead Fest when i took her jewelry class; so i decided to take her collage class in Connecticut. i know, i've done lots of collage before, but i did pick up some cool new techniques and i just wanted to do something nice and relaxing after my whirlwind tour. and it was just that, relaxing and fun. thanks Cheryl (and especially for the swimmy noodle trick!)
