Just returned from San Francisco. What a fun city. I want to share some of the highlights.
Don't get me wrong. I'm still loving mosaics, but I felt the urge to work in another medium for awhile. My heart belongs to vintage wallpaper for now. I've been covering frames and clipboards so far. Who knows what will be next. It's a little bit like doing a mosaic, fitting all the pieces together. My inspiration for these was Pam Garrison's closet.
I got together a few days ago with three wonderful, like-minded, talented women. We crafted, ate, talked and most important, we laughed. With all of our ephemera scattered across the table we made our tiny collages. And then, all being novices, we sandwiched our collages between glass and soldered them together. I think they came out pretty good. We even added jump rings.
Here's Jane soldering away using her helping hand that Deidre brought as gifts for all of us. Jane brought the hugest pile of old books and and flash cards for us to cut up and use. She is so talented and has a great sense of humor. Jane is an editor at large for Country Living Magazine and she wrote about our play date on her blog also. Check it out here.
