Thanks to all for supporting a local venue!




Thank you to all who helped support a local venue,
SmittenDust Studio,
 to bring in a national artist! 
Kristen Robinson loves Pure Michigan and Lord Huron 
and is planning to come back in 2014!
Woot!!! (and it was a BLAST!)
 
 This is the Secret Journey Fabric Journal Class!
 Amy's luscious fabrics!
 Vintage hankies and doilies in lavender
 Joanne's journal using lots of cool materials and techniques.

 Linda's Poe-inspired journal is amazing!

Stunning finished pieces by Rhea!

 Love the Braille charm that reads "Forever" and the Winged Victory piece from Wendi!
Saturday featured Glamour and Grunge Etched and Soldered Cuffs
 I love these cuffs so much, I don't want to take them off!!!
Joanne's cuffs
 Do notice the tiaras the girls wearing as they work the grunge part of this workshop!

 Cecile, Sue, Barb (in deep concentration!) and Joanne (what is she up to?!)
 Cecile did the hefty grunge work for us!  Thanks Cecile!
The little cutie-pie, glamour and grunge girl herself - Kristen!
And after dinner at Mike's Village Restaurant,
it was back to SmittenDust Studio for book and DVD signings and

And now for something completely different:  Mold Making!
 We could have done this all day long!
 Nothing was safe from us!
