Saturday was a very fun day! I participated in
Barbara Lewis' "Painting with Fire" workshop hosted by
Cindy Wimmer and
Jeanette Blix . Wow, what a day! Barbara was a great teacher...very generous. Her hubby, Jim was right by her side, helping with everything...what a team:) Cindy and Jeanette were the best hosts...not only did they plan and coordinate the whole event, but there was a yummy coffee cake, cute little bags of Hershey's kisses at each station, and a great lunch spread. Jeanette brought a bunch of goodies from her shop
fundametals.net ...I snagged some cool copper blanks and some more copper washers. I also got a couple colors of enamel and some other beads from Barbara to give this a shot at home...just have to go get a bigger torch :)
It was very cool to meet several artists whose blogs I read...not only Cindy and Jeanette, but there was Lori from
Pretty Things, Sue from
SueBeads, and a bunch of other really nice folks! I think everyone else fell in love with enameling as much as I did.
I will update with photos of my beads that I made as soon as I can...in the meantime, go look at Cindy's blog post and you will even see a photo of
yours truly...a little disheveled and open-mouthed as I am concentrating on that bead!
Hey Melissa...it was SO great to meet you in person. We need to get together again because we don't live too far from one another. Yes, the class was a blast! And I thought that was a great action shot of you.... I can't wait to do a Round II! :-)
