Dress forms...dream

Told you I love dress forms.......multi technique using acrilic paint, gellatos, ink, chalk, slick sticks and decoupage and paper. It has a lot of texture in person. I used the negative space to create the background and then used Gecko Galz August emphemera and decoupaged them...it is a lighthearted sort of piece and I washed away some of the color to make it appear a dream.

Jewelry class

This is the type of earrings we will make in the class. If you can make these, you can make any kind...its wire wrapping which is very popular todat...lots of good techniques!

CROP NIGHT

Our monthly crop was held last night and I do believe that everyone had fun. I am so glad that everyone got a prize and learned a few new techniques.

I am glad to say all the croppers ate my greatest friends...if you don't scrape, you need to learn as I do believe that "WE" are the friendliest and most giving people.

If you never have done it, I encourage you to join the scrapbook class...you learn, you have fun, you preserve history, but you make wonderful friends. It has really enriched my life and help me make a statement....

Thank you all for coming and being part of my life

Luv ya

Sherri

SUPPLY LIST ON MY BLOG cuttergazette.blogspot.com

OCTOBER 01,15,22,29 2PM-4 PM

As scrapbooking is a wonderful hobby to preserve pictures and as a form of art, we are going to have a new version of the Spotted Canary School for girls from about 7 to 13…depends on maturity….they will be doing work, cutting, painting, learning.

The class will be 4 weeks, approx. 2 hours each session.

The classes will be in Oct, on Saturdays. We will be making pages for ABOUT ME, FRIENDS, and FAMILY …that is 6 pages I hope to complete, so please start looking for pictures to support these topics

This is a page using Gecko Galz Beachy Keen papers. I filled the frames with both pictures and different papers to get a bit of a whimsical look. I used a Martha Stewart all around punch to get a few strips to look like surf....also in the surf are a few hot fix jewels to get the sparkle of the water, and the gleem in Daddys eye. Lastly used Sandy Lions Essesntials to add a few 3 D fish!
