This past Saturday, I attended a great workshop in Annapolis given by the sweet and gracious Barbara Lewis! It was the next step after her original Painting with Fire class…this time we added liquid enamels and stenciling to the mix.

I had a blast! Not only did I learn new, very cool techniques to add to my enameling arsenal, but I got to spend time with a handful of my jewelry bud, and made some new ones as well. I hitched a ride from Fredneck with my good friend Carol Wingfield Myers, and new friend Bette Brody, then met up with Laura Twiford from Souvenirs from Life, Jen Velasquez from Jen Judd Rocks, and Elizabeth from Beads for Busy Gals. Jen, Elizabeth and I went out to lunch and had the best time eating, talking and laughing! The really cool thing is, I will be seeing most of them again at ArtBliss in September! Yay!

ReplyDeleteI would love to have been there. One day maybe I'll get to meet you. We're not so very far away now. At least not by TX standards :-)
ReplyDeleteOhh, I wish I could meet all of you some day. Why is it so far away? :-)
