Mother's Day at Vina Robles

I'm excited to be teaching mosaic necklaces at Vina Robles Winery for the Mother's Day Art and Wine Bar Luncheon.  It's a fun event that includes lunch, a glass of wine and making a beautiful mosaic necklace.  Checkout the details at :http://www.vinarobles.com/?method=products.productDrilldown&productID=45DEB200-DFF7-1440-175B-50C3DDF0085E&originalMarketingURL=product/Mother-s-Day-Art---Wine-Bar-Luncheon

Polymer Clay Surprise

What's cookin?  Polymer clay for a special wine project.  Unveiling it soon!

Plates, Plates, Plates...

Pretty much every time I run errands / go shopping I'm on the lookout for plates for my mosaic classes.  I love looking for that perfect plate at that great price.  My stockpile is lookin pretty good!  Mother's Day is coming up so how about treating Mom to a fun day of mosaicing fun?  Private classes available - your time, date and project.  www.CreativeMeTime.com

Succulent Wreath Classes

I'm getting my succulent wreath forms all organized.  I just slipped them on curtain rods I had and now I can see what sizes and shapes I have at a glance.  Now they're ready to be covered with beautiful succulents.  Sign up for a class and join the fun. 

Alcohol Ink Class

They were having so much fun experimenting they didn't want to leave.  Join the fun at www.CreativeMeTime.com

Succulent Wreath Class

I'm loading up my car for a succulent wreath private party tonight.  What a great way to end a work week - creativity and friendship!  Time to go soak the wreaths...check out all of the class offerings on my website www.CreativeMeTime.com.  Oooooh, the sponges are leftover from my mosaic class last weekend.

Alcohol Ink Ornaments and Dominoes

It was a kiddo day.  First, 29 sixth graders created amazing alcohol ink ornaments and dominoes that they'll transform into necklaces and magnets.  I am amazed at how awesome these turned out.

Camp Fire Glass Class

I am so impressed with the 10-12 year-old Camp Fire group who came to the studio today to create these amazing mosaic glass necklaces.  

Hypertufa Heart Planter

Some friends who saw these photos thought I was baking a chocolate heart cake but alas, no, it's a hypertufa planter.  Hyper what?  Hypertufa is a mixture of perlite, moss and Portland cement.  When it dries, it is lighter weight than regular cement.  This guy gets to cure for a month in a plastic bag and I can't wait for it to be ready.  I'm having a class in January, just in time for Valentine's Day where you'll make your own hypertufa planter and then you'll plant a planter that I've cured for you with succulents I provide.   Need a perfect gift for that spcial gardener in your life?  Come mix up some fun.  Www.CreativeMeTime.com

I love Publicity!

The local New Times, our county-wide free newspaper, came to the last Succulent Sunday 

to feature the workshop for a DIY Holiday feature.  It will be in the paper on Thanksgiving day.  I'm so excited!  The students did a fabulous job and I'm hoping the photographer got some good shots.  I have a couple of more workshops in December so come join the fun and create a stunning succulent wreath.

Mosaic Butterfly's Fluttering Off My Shelf!

Wouldn't you love one (or two or three) of these beautiful butterflies in your garden?  The wood pieces have been fluttering off my shelf this last week!  Think gifts, think your own garden...the holidays will be here in the blink of an eye...you receive a flat butterfly but this custom made piece allows you to bend a metal support so you have a beautiful 3D butterfly.  I have the butterfly kit, a crown form and many more at www.CreativeMeTime.com

Bread Dough Snowman

I couldn't wait to finish the entire project to share with you.  This cute snowman is made from bread dough except for the twigs and he's only about 2-1/2" tall.  I have to let him dry and then I'll post a completed photo.  He's for a holiday workshop where we'll be doing some reverse collage, and of course, bread dough!
