Gifts from the Garden Workshop

Gifts from the Garden

Saturday, June 28^th

10 a.m. - 12 p.m.

Los Osos, California (near San Luis Obispo, Morro Bay and Pismo!)

This workshop has it all!  Shoes, gardening and creativity!

Mixed Media Artist, Joan Martin Fee will show you how easy it is to create adorable shoe succulent gardens. You’ll use a quick decoupage technique to decorate a shoe to your hearts content with decorative papers and magazines clippings – and it’s waterproof! Joan’s even providing the succulents so you’ll take home a completed Succulent Shoe Garden!

We’ll have a little time while the decoupage glue dries, so we’ll create sugar hand scrubs that make your hands feel amazing! They are quick to make and we'll be adding scents of yummy lavender or lemon from local gardens.  

Rosemary Salt adds a perfect touch to focaccia bread or your savory dishes.  Joan will show how easily you can whip this up at home, package it up in a cute container and it's ready to give to the cooks on your gift list.  You’ll receive a sample and the recipe to create this at home.

Make it a day of creativity!  After this workshop, enjoy lunch on your own and then join in the Wine Lovers Workshop at 1:00 p.m.  Don't miss the fun.  Details are available at www.CreativeMeTime.com

Los Osos, California on the Central Coast of California

Photos!!!  We all have tons of them on our computers and phones, so let’s get creative and transform them into gifts, home décor items, greeting cards and cupcake decorations - we’ll even have a party at the end featuring photo decorations!

Your instructor, Joan Fee, loves being creative and taking photographs.  This workshop is geared for any skill level so bring your friends along for a picture perfect evening – you’ll finish all of these projects in the workshop and get to take them home:

Beautiful Photo Vase and Magnets – A plain vase turns into a statement piece home décor project using a simple decoupage technique and you’ll use the same technique to make cool photo magnets.  Vase will vary from one shown.

Personalized Greeting Cards – Learn how to use photos to create beautiful personalized greetings cards that look beautiful, share your talents and save on the pocketbook too!

Glowing Candle Holder – This project transforms a photo into an amazing nightlight or accent to any room.  We’ll use a craft knife to cut out details in a photo, mount it to a glass candle holder that lets the light shine through to cast a welcoming glow.

Joan will let you in on other super unique ways to be creative with your photos – everything from inexpensive fabric printing, to wallpaper to, well, you’ll just have to come to the workshop to find out all of the secrets…

Then it’s party time!  Oh, we almost forgot, Joan loves a good party, too!  She’ll let you in on secrets to creating cupcake decorations with your photos and how to make other creative party items.  Sign up today and come join the photo party!  Details are at www.CreativeMeTime.com

Mixed Media Workshop

As I am getting ready to teach a mixed media workshop tonight, I realize that I've been creating mixed media for years but I never called it that.  When I was a designer on the Aleene's Creative LivingTelevision Show I was assigned a particular product to use in my project.  I would make a project but always added several elements or layers to it to make it interesting. Whether it's called crafting or mixed media it's fun to be creative and add your own twist to any project.  I've told the students tonight there are no rules so I'm excited to see what they create from the items in the treasure chest they get to pick from...pictures later tonight or tomorrow of their creations. Can't wait!

Mixed Media Madness Workshop

Mixed media is so fun!  There are no rules and you have access to Joan’s massive treasure chest of craft supplies to decorate three wood nesting boxes.  Whether your heart desires feathers, beads or metal trimmings, you’ll be in creative heaven searching for just that right trinket.  Experiment and let your creativity soar with a little of this or a lot of that and before you know it, you’ve created masterpieces for special gifts or as a beautiful accent for your home.
