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

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.

Private Mosaic Classes

I had a fabulous time in Lompoc, California last weekend teaching a mosaic stepping stone class to amazing students.  We started with plates and transformed them into mosaic masterpieces!  Take a look at just a few from the class...most were first time mosaic students.  Want to learn mosaics?  I teach mobile mosaic classes and in the studio on the beautiful Central Coast of California.  Email me at craftproducts at yahoo.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.

Fall-ized Succulent Wreath Centerpiece

My students have been making tons of succulent wreaths so I thought I'd show a pretty way to use them as a centerpiece for your Fall table. Come take a class at www.CreativeMeTime.com

Alcohol Ink Necklaces and Ornaments

It was such a fun day teaching some local school teachers and administrators how to create with alcohol inks!  I love their 'thinking outside of the box' creativity!

Sea Glass and Wire Wrapped Jewelry Classes

I was blown away by my students last night!  Everyone did an amazing job in the Sea Glass and Wire Wrap Jewelry class.  I had sixteen enthusiastic ladies, the majority had never made jewelry before and they did it and they did it good!  Find out about my mosaic, jewelry and succulent classes at www.CreativeMeTime.com.  Wish I could write more but I have an Alcohol Ink Jewelry and Ornament class tomorrow and the next day it's Succulent Sunday!  Come join the fun!

I love being appreciated...

Hi Joan -

Just wanted to thank you again for making the succulent wreath class fun and relaxing.  I am so excited to see how my wreath grows and blooms.  You are an amazing artist and I appreciate your patience and how you shared some of your precious succulents from your own wreath!

Thanks again,

Succulent Christmas Tree

It's a succulent day.  I created the thirty favors for a quilt function next week and I made this Succulent Christmas Tree.  I'm going to add embellishments for different versions.  Check back to see how the same tree is transformed into totally different looks. I'll have classes as the holiday's get closer - I supply everything, you just show up, have fun and take home an awesome succulent sensation.

I Love Creating with Succulents

I just finished thirty succulent favors for a quilt function this week.  I can't wait to show my students how to make succulent wreaths and Christmas Succulent Trees in my on-going classes.  Check out the schedule at www.CreativeMeTime.com.  If sea glass is your thing, I just received 19-1/2 pounds of genuine sea glass that's just waiting for you to make custom jewelry.  Come have some fun!

Fort Bragg Glass Beach

I was talking to an acquaintance recently and she mentioned she was heading to Mendocino.  I mentioned I am teaching Sea Glass Jewelry classes and I'd heard about a beach at Fort Bragg that is covered in sea glass.  She drove an hour and a half out of her way to bring me back a bag of sea glass! I was stunned!  Think I'll make her a necklace.

Monogrammed Sea Glass Jewelry

We're celebrating a friends birthday tomorrow and I know she loves sea glass.  The perfect gift - a sea glass necklace!  I added her initial for a personal touch.  Interested in making sea glass jewelry?  We offer classes on the beautiful Central California Coast just down the road from the happiest city in America - San Luis Obispo.  Www.CreativeMeTime.com
