Hi, Barbara! COOL zipper frog!! I would love to make things with
Polymer clay, but my fingers and hands don't like it. I like your B&B pics
from last year too... I didn't make it last year. Birth-Daughter's wedding
took precedent. I was kept busy making all of her jewelry for the wedding
and it turned out pretty gorgeous, if I do say so myself. ))))) Nice
to see you post!
hugs,
Linda

Thanks, Linda! The frog was actually sculpted by Diana (remember her?),
but I've been having lots and lots of fun with clay.

I probably won't make B&B this year - I can't really find a class or two
that I'm dying to take, unfortunately.

Good to be posting again, if only a bit.

Love,
B.

Default New Year's Show & Tell

This year, I found only one class that seemed somewhat interesting and that
I'd like to learn. Last year, there were absolutely gobs of classes that I
wanted to take even though I couldn't go. And since their fees went up a
LOT for the classes, well... I'd better learn something really good if I'm
going to spend that kind of money.

Tip: My friends (I used to) live in Racine, WI - about 40 min. south from
Downtown Milwaukee. There's a bead shop there by the name of Funky
Hannah's that has a lot of the big-name people who show up there to give
classes right before (and after) B&B takes place. The downtown area of
Racine is gorgeous, totally revamped, with a wonderful museum and everything
is within a 6 block walking area of a Radisson hotel. I mentioned to my
friends that we might be better off taking classes at Funky Hannah's this
year and making our own Mini B&B.

But my friends and I might pay the entry fee and just go up one day this
year for the shopping. I always like to look at lampwork row. I had the
best time there the last time I went, talking to the artists.

Take care!
hugs,
Linda

I know that the art museum in Racine brought in Kathleen Dustin the week
before B&B for a workshop. I would have LOVED to have taken that, but
found out about it too darned late. I'll see what's up this year,
before the week. Funky Hannah's I've actually heard about - they do a
bunch of PMC related things, don't they?

I'm not sure about the PMC classes, Barb. But I do know they've added
beginning lampworking to their beadweaving classes. They have a LOT of
woven classes and my friends go to a lot of classes, making beautiful
things. Cynthia Rutledge is the featured artist/teacher in July, 2007.
Here's the link to Funky Hannah's if you or anyone else wants to browse
there. ))) http://funkyhannahs.com

Hey! I didnt even know you had a picture of that froggy. Thanks Barb,
and thanks Linda for bringing it to my attention.
I made a bunch more frogs to put in my etsy store.
Barb, the things you do with clay are boggling. I like the aged looking
bottle.
Hugs (and catch me if you can again on yahoo)

Ye God's, you are tidy,my studio looks like a tip!
I wish I could find some "tidy pills", cause I am always miss-placing
things, almost seconds after putting them down.

Thanks - it was one of my favorite outcomes from that 'experiment'.

It's really quite tiny - about 1/4" high, if that.
