A Day in The Valley

 

 

003

Today I got up at 5 a.m. & drove 80 minutes north to Palmer , to teach an Embellishment class. I started them out painting on fabrics, Tyvek, lace, silk hankies, silk cocoons (after they cut out the worms) & batting.

Then we did foiling, embossing, burning fabrics, made  fabric beads, & played with Angelina,& Friendly Plastic (among other things). Then the last couple of hours we did small collage pieces.

The ladies were all very good sports, & we had a lot of fun. The next few pictures are things they did. They were a creative group.

On the next one, I liked what she did with the Friendly plastic. She took apart an old earring, & pressed it into the surface of the plastic. We just heated the plastic with a heat gun, & had some fun with it.

The reason this snow scene is tilted, is I was driving & not looking through the camera. I just sat it on my left shoulder & pushed the button. I’m surprised it turned out this well. It was a beautiful afternoon, driving back to Anchorage.

These last 2 shots, are a clock that I am making for the Irish Dance School auction coming up in another week. I’m not finished with it yet, & will try to get better pictures when I’m done.
