It's September, the kids are back in school and I am looking forward to getting back to blogging and creating new
art!
The past month I have been busy learning something
entirely different...metalsmithing...
I took an online class with Stephanie Lee that was very cool! The exciting news is that she is offering the online class again soon and registration starts September 8th. You can go here if you are interested in learning more. Stephanie teaches a lot of techniques...soldering, making bezels and chains, etching, patina, resin, casting solder to make charms...all can be transferred to mixed media as well as jewelry. Many of these techniques are not so easy to pick up without instruction. If you are looking for something new to add to your art.. I highly recommend this course...plus you get to use power tools! Her videos are all short.. 5 minutes or less and very informative and she is always available to answer the many questions she receives. There is also a yahoo group site where members can communicate and help each other.
Keep your eyes open for an upcoming giveaway here soon. I'm thinking some textile goodies for the creative muse...
