fun with Delayne learning about resin!
We had a great class from Delayne about resin, doing inclusions of glass and other materials. I'll include some pics of our creations!
I can see that getting really good photos of the resin items would take more work. My usual photo technique shooting straight down on stuff with minimal reflections makes the resin completely disappear on some of these but in person they have a very glassy, water way about them.

another successful flame-a-thon
Thanks to all who participated in our flame-a-thon for Beads of Courage yesterday. And thanks to Malcom for hosting us. Sorry to say, I was busy making and photoing beads and failed to take any general photos of the event! -Heidi |

Michal Silberberg class - Sept. 4
We had a fun time with visiting instructor Michal Silberberg today.
Everyone collaborated to make a variety of different colors of multilayered stringers from Michal's recipes.
Then we made several different beads with gradated-colored stripes made by close-packing the multilayered stringers and using presses.
This fun owl was one of the projects.
Here are some pics from my phone, sorry the photo quality isn't better....

Michal Silberberg visit
We're hosting a one-day class with Michal Silberberg on 2 dates in Sept.
She'll be visiting from Israel and this will be her first time teaching in the US though she's done classes in Europe.
With 2 dates there are 20 slots so it can really be a group activity.
Info and sign-up here.
We also plan to have a public open-house with a demo and chance to buy her work after class one of the evenings. More on that later.
