It has been awhile since I uploaded anything to my blog.  Here is a Nuvo Scarf that I made during a recent workshop.  It was great to learn this craft.  Would love to do more.

This is how I store my charms

These are  a few of the charms that I have swapped.  I use mannequins.  Some I have purchased and others I have made.  This sit on a mantel in my studio which use to be the family room when the kids were young and living at home.

Celestial Art Charm Swap

Several months ago, I joined a fabulous group on Yahoo.  We swap art charms.  It is another delightful form of creativity.  This is an amazing group of wonderful artists.   This is one of the swaps.  You can see the charm that I made off to the right with her eyes closed and a smile on her face.

Bird House

The Campbell River and District Arts Council held an Auction recently to raise funds for their scholorship fund.  They asked 20 artists to paint birdhouses and they would be auctioned off at a wine and dessert party.  This is the bird house that I painted.

Sherrill Kahn workshop Calgary Alberta 2011

This is the beautiful bed and breakfast that we stayed in during our time in Calgary. Sherrill also stayed here so we were very fortunate in having breakfast with her each morning and also given a ride to and fro the workshop. I highly recommend this B & B. The owner is a wonderful cook. The breakfasts were amazing. It is called Calgary City View B & B.

This is a demo that Sherrill did using a paint from Kroma called "Crackle". Kroma paints are made in Vancouver, B.C. They are a wonderful paint and their store is situated on Granville Island.
