Detention Already?

Started my first workshop at STITCHED!

I decided to do the Accordion Photo Book workshop by Penney Klaproth.

The project fits perfectly with a graduation giftie idea I've had in mind for my Kaely.

Great class, great instruction, fab videos, easy to follow...

if you follow?

.

Big surprise (lol)--I've already broken the rules!

One of the first directions was to cut the "pages" to a particular size.

I'm going with a long, tall version of those guidelines.

And making a mega mess in the process!

I think Penney'd be cool with that, though.

She states at the beginning that it should be uniquely mine and it is!

Bo's not impressed.

He gets in trouble when he doesn't follow the rules or makes a mess.

I guess I craft like a dog? :)

Happy Birthday Alma Stoller!

 It's artist Alma Stoller's Birthday!

In celebration she's offering her STITCHED 2012 workshop

for only $40 instead $89!  That's like, more than half off!

STITCHED 2012  features 20 fabric and sewing art classes from 20 different artists.

Alma also includes several mini workshops of her own in the deal!

Classes are accessible until Jan 1, 2013.

I'm signed up! 

This summer will be the perfect time to throw myself into some new techniques and projects.

I'm particularly excited about the "The Printed Stash" workshop by Lynn Krawczyk

I've never used Gelli plates before--looks like some messy summer fun!
