African Paper Beads

We had a nice group of ladies and teens come to learn how to make African beads today.  Everyone was very excited about the colorful papers and what they would end up making.  They all caught on quickly, so they were able to make many beads.  Look at the gorgeous results!

Canvas Resist

The hot new program is here!  Every person who attended loved this art class!  I have received many messages thanking me for offering such fun, creative programs for them to do.  I really like how unique everyone's art is, and how they are stretching and growing in their creativity!

Pony Bead Bracelets

50 kids and beads, a delight-filled room, laughter, social time, and fine motor skills.  We had a great time making bracelets with the 4 and up crowd today.  This program is so popular!  Look at the fun results.

Mother's Day Suncatcher Frames

Ages 4 and up truly enjoyed this activity!  So much hard work was put into these beautiful presents for their moms.  I love how they each are so different!

My Apologies

Hi!  I'm sorry I've not been posting to the blog.  I am so busy now, I forget to get over here, since Facebook is so much easier to post to.  I'll get some pictures of some programs up here, and will hopefully see you at a program in May!  The pictures below are tweens doing Doodle Tiles.  They LOVED this program!  30 kids, and great art.  Lots of boys, who all said they had a blast.  I gave lots of encouragement on being happy with mistakes, and about not comparing their art skills to another. Adults want this class too!
