What's not to LOVE about an Art Party!?!

  Happy Sunday :)
I'm putting on a new attitude....nothing overwhelms me, life couldn't be easier. Now, if I say it three times, click my heels 4 times and do the hokey pokey, it'll all come true. 
Here's the first shrine pendant I made in Sally Jean's Shrine On class....I made it for my friend, Stacie.
I'm telling you, this class was INCREDIBLE!!!  I just loved every second of it.  The shrines are three dimensional pendants, the size of a matchbox.  They're sandwiched between glass and soldered.  There are little collages on the back as well, so it's two sided.  Sally Jean and her hubby are adorable.  They work as a team and are also the class entertainment. :)  It makes me know more than ever that I need an assistant.  Brad says he's "Mr. Sally Jean".  They'll be at Artfest and Art & Soul East.  I would HIGHLY recommend taking any of their classes!

I took two other classes that I just loved.  This little pin was made in Diana Twedt's class.  I signed up for the class last minute after seeing her work on Vendor's Night.  Her work is vivid, colorful & fun.  She's published everywhere, I'm finding out, yet she doesn't have a website!  I'm going to start hounding her to get one going so all of us can keep on top of what she's up to.

Finally, I took a terrific class taught by artist, Juliana Coles.  It was a wonderful class that was designed to stretch artists beyond their safe and comfy boundaries....not always an easy thing.  Juliana had such a sweet heart, I loved her teaching style and her honestly.
The week was wonderful.  I'll talk about the people and the classes I taught in my next post...hey, I had a movie star in one of the classes I taught.  oxox
*if you're waiting for an email or if you've purchased something from my website and are wondering if I'm still alive...I will be mailing all orders tomorrow and emailing everyone asap....thank you.*

Hi girl, I just got off the phone with you and I can't sleep I'm so wound up. Fabric, I keep thinking of fabric. I'm wrapped in it. There are beads scattered all over. And flower petals. I can't wipe the smile off my face. I didn't tell you cause I was so busy talking about, well who knows what I was talking about, I had a crappy day at work. My 2nd big mistake in 10 years at this company. I had to keep telling myself "its just a job, its just a job". But now after chatting my mind has moved on to art and I'm excited. So thanks for listening to me rant and for being my friend and for being excited and suggestions and ideas and support. But it's our secret still . . . Love you, Norma
