Trying something new...

Hubby and I saw this on Pinterest



It inspired us to make this:

An anniversary gift for our oldest son and wife.
After a few practice breaks cuts, I started cutting
the glass with ease and it all came together for us.
We totally winged it!
 It turned out pretty good since we didn't really know
what we were doing.

April Is...

National Poetry Month

Let's try some Book Spine Poetry!


To make a book spine poem, 
you arrange a stack of books so that the titles
create a poem. Each title of a book 
becomes a line in the poem.
 
 Here is a little more info and
a way to have a little fun with
it while benefiting a library.

Colorful Cheerful Fun Flag Book

Next month I will be teaching how to make a flag book to our local art group, Art Menagerie.
This is a fun and easy book to make and there are so many ways to change it up. 
We will be painting our own canvas papers for flags like I did here.
I also think photos would make awesome flags. Also, I have an enormous
collection of recipe cards that I will never use (yes NEVER). I
think a recipe flag book would be just the thing for my kitchen. 
This book is also a great way to use up those scraps of paper
you cannot get rid of.
There are many flag book tutorials on the internet. Find one that
appeals to you and go for it.

Studio Shelves

For some time I have wanted to clean up the home made shelves
in my studio. The edges are pretty beaten up from use. Idea:
cover the edges with paper tape. I happen to have a very nice 
variety....Easy and cute!
