Another Create Day

This workshop was presented by Belinda Spiwak. We made ATC's with lots of dimension covered in resin. This was way out of my box. For some reason I have a had a fear of resin and I'll admit it, I'm not a big fan of making ATCs. Love to collect them though. It was a great class for my last day. Belinda was charming, set up a wonderful workspace, shared a treasure trove of goodies with us and made everyone feel relaxed. Everyone created some wonderful pieces. A must do with Belinda if you are interested in resin.
We used Tim Holtz dies from Sizzix and the Vagabond. This was a fun class. It was my first experience with Smooch and Little Windows Resin which I see myself using more of.
Another fabulous retreat day.

I'm back home from a wonderful artful week in Chicago at Create. Cloth Paper Scissors Retreat. I had a blast, learned so many fantastic new things, met some fantastic people and had a chance to work out of my box. I'm going to share this week what I did. The first workshop was Burlap and Paperclay,instruction by Sue Pelletier. Both of these items out of my box and color that I don't normally work in, unless in a RR and it is required... with no more tadoooo here is what I created ....
