Hi Everyone:

We're going to try to communicate in a new way--by blog. Since you all know
I have no clue as to what I am doing this blog will be a test run.

We had a wonderful class with Mike strong on Saturday September 6, 2008 and
have set him up to come back January 10, February 7, and March 7.

We have Make-It and Take-It tonight with Laura Kanno come on by--it starts
at 6:30 and goes until no one is at the shop. Each MITI is about 30 minutes long
and you can do one or as many as you want. They are $5 each project given to
the teacher. All materials will be furnished. Since this is my first blog I don't
have pictures but I will work on that.

Saturday, September 13 is a Black and White Card class with Jessica Hollowell.
She is an artiste extraordinare. She has been published in several of Stampington's
magazines and her art is amazing. The class is from 10:30-12:30 and it is $30.
She is using ideas from the 1950's fashion plates. The lines are crisp and clean
and you will love this class.

Sunday, September 14 Kelly Kilmer will be doing a book class from 12:30-4:30, $70, It is called "A Few of My Favorite Things. Using cherised ephemera from a stash you have been hoarding you will build an
inspirational book, a unique little tome that you will refer to again and again over the years. You guys have been begging me to teach this class since you first laid eyes on my little collage book that I've been keeping...You will walk out with a fully painted, fully hand bound, canvas board covered book made 100% by you! You will also walk out with your head spinning with new ideas for collage on the inside pages. Please make sure to bring some of your own treasures that you've been "holding onto" (and I will bring some of mine for you to use!) I guarantee this is one little book that will whisper to you to work on its pages. Supply List- Students should please bring the following: Small selection of Collage ephemera (handmade/decorative paper, copies of old photos, magazine clippings, journal pages, art book pages, cherished cut outs- anything that "speaks" to you. Please make color copies of anything you wish to use more than once), Scissors, bone folder, 3 bristle brushes to paint and glue (no foam please), container to hold water in, cork backed metal ruler, black permanent ink pad (like Versafine or Memories) roll of paper towels, and a roll of waxed paper. The instructor will be supplying an array of professional artist acrylics and mediums, rubber stamps, collage ephemera, and all necessary materials.

Also on the 3rd Wednesday night of each month we have an "ATC Class/Swap Club". Kristy Williams is the teacher and moderator. You will make to ATC's each month, Kristy will provide all the materials for a moderate fee of $10.
Then you will swap the ATC's that you have made during the month with each other. You make as many ATC's as you want then swap that amount of ATCs with other club members. For the month of September only we will be meeting on Friday, September 26.

We also have Fred Mullett coming in with three classes on Wednesday, September 17 and Thursday September 18. Wednesday, 10-2, The Elegant Mess, $55; Wednesday, 4-8, Dancing Rubber Fish, $55; Thursday, September 18, 10-2, Spritz Me Baby Mo Bettah, $55.

I promise to try to learn how to post pictures so you can see pictures of some of the classes in the future.

Well I'm going to try to blog this, so bye for now. Karen
