Soul Arts

Jenny Crossley Was Here

Today I had the BEST time... life is good.. till monday morning at 9am (when I am due at my desk lol)

Jenny Crossley taught for Soul Arts today .. .ten of us made a Junk Bracelet... and what fun we all had... Jenny supplied a fabulous kit of junk goodies... and under her tution we all made our bracelets.. some of us.. (most of us) had never soldered before...

Despite our trepidation it wasnt that hard (eventually LOL... I seemed to be best at making little ball bearings to start with)... but with a bit of practice, and Jenny's friendly help it was fun!

Had to share with you this pic of JR.. he is the resident stud of Heavenscent (in Croydon, a scrapbooking, stamping shop that allowed us to use thier classroom).  JR is soooo cute... (he's an Australian Bulldog)...  stand by him for more than a few seconds without moving and he either slurps you with kisses or rolls over for a belly rub LOL

Polymer Weekend

More pics from last weekend at Rowsley... my little man is still in peices but I am getting together with Lucy on Saturday and we are going to start putting him together.

First pic is the friday night with the girls working on their butterfly pins... and a very relaxed Shirley at the end of the table LOL.. was very dark and cold outside... we all had a short dash between the warm classroom and the warm main building.... only the smokers lingered out there... (gotta be tough to be a smoker lol)

Saturday morning and they are all working on their Goblins... was still cool outside but as you can see from the short sleeves of a few of us it was warm in the classroom

This is the little guy we were making.....standing on the table to inspire us vbg

Shirley and Alice (adding wrinkles to the head)

Jenny Crossley Workshop

On Saturday August 9th beginning at 9.30am we will be  host ing a workshop with the very talented Jenny Crossley.  Students will make a 'Junk' bracelet and learn soldering and jewellry technqiues.

Previous soldering experience is not necessary and the requirement list is reasonbly small.... I have been wanting to do this (get into soldering) for a while and Jenny is one of Australia's best in this field.

Class is $85 for day and will be held at the premises of HeavenScent in Dorset Road Croydon....would love to see you there.. .

To book please email me at classes@soularts.com.au

Artful Days

I was teaching at HeavenScent this weekend and we were doing Alcohol Inks.  I made an ATC for the class door prize as well as this little tin as a sample.  There is a mate to this one that has been sent off for a 'book in a tin' swap. 

The pages from this were inspired by a class I did with Marg Buhagiar from The Creative Journey and the outside is coloured with Pinata Alcohol Inks using the dabber.

The inside images of the children are Paper Whimsy again... love her images and have ordered more, but as she is away in England on holiday I have to wait until she gets back for her to post them... must be patient, must be patient...must.....
