A Ladies' Event

For the most part, I work at the libraries which I love.  I also love to work for private parties etc.  This event was a Ladies' function, and I was asked to help these ladies create something beautiful for their home.  Here are the fabulous results!! This would be great for a Mom's Night Out, a group gathering, church function, birthday party and of course, a library program!

Memory Wire Bracelets in East Palo Alto

The patrons enjoyed a day of creating at the East Palo Alto Library today.  Gorgeous glass beads and wire to create their own bracelet to take home.

Art Around the World Goes to Russia

At the Pleasanton Library, we learned about Russia today and the Faberge Egg.  We talked a lot about Russia and the surrounding area, the people, and much more as they also learned about the art of creating Faberge Eggs.  Here are their renditions.

Mexican Tin Art at the Niles Library

Morning programming is being offered at the Niles and Irvington Libraries.  We are slowly getting the public's attention regarding these adult programs.  Here, the women made a Tin Art piece while joyfully chatting away and enjoying some quiet time.  One patron commented, "I can't believe how relaxed I am! I can feel the tension leave my body as I create."  That is such a true statement!

Enrichment Art Program in Danville

I received two requests to come up with an art program that would correlate with the books these two age groups would be reading.  This is the first program that I designed around the book, "The Giver" by Lois Lowry.  I read the book, then created an art program for these tweens to express the book visually.  This was a great program!  By the way; I ended up reading all four books in the series, I enjoyed the first so much!

Friendship Frames and Photo Cubes at Fremont Main

Two different days with two different sets of tweens.  I opened the photo cube program up to younger children because we were struggling to get the tweens into the library.  I suggested we change the time, and viola', they are coming in again!  I enjoy watching these kids create!!

Sand Art at Irvington and Sun Catchers at Niles

The children celebrated Valentine's Day at these two libraries with two art forms; sand art, and suncatchers.  These are two of my most popular crafts among the children, and you'll laugh; but the adults want to do these also!!
