Ornaments Paint Party

Posted in Holidays, Paint Party, tagged on November 30, 2016| Leave a Comment »

ornament-party-1We painted this neat “Ornaments on a Branch” last night at the Paint Party at The Studio.  Look at what a great job everyone did!  We had a lot of “family” action too….a mother with her three grown kids;  an aunt with nephew, and a mother-daughter.  It’s  a fun way to spend family time.  We have another opportunity to paint this one this Thursday at 6 pm.  Register here.

Rag Quilt 2.jpgWe had so much fun making Rag Quilts on Sunday at The Studio.  Where else can you learn to make a Rag Quilt and walk away with a finished product in just 3 hours???!!!!  Great job everyone.  And you asked for it so here it is….another one scheduled on January 8th.  And the best part….all the fabrics are flannel with Cats or Dogs motif.  You know I LOVE these.  Register early because we are very limited in space for these workshops.  Click here for more info and to register for the January 8th workshop.

Self Striping is Great!

Posted in crochet, tagged , , , , on November 27, 2016| 2 Comments »

I am in love with the Caron Cakes self-striping yarn.  It’s amazing!  I just completed this shawl/wrap out of the Caron Cakes Red Velvet yarn.  It’s beautiful and I didn’t change the color one time.  It striped all by itself!  For those of  you who knit or crochet know why I am so excited about this wonderful yarn.  Plus it’s soft and the colors are wonderful.  The yarn was originally suppose to be available for only 3 months in Michaels Stores as a special Birthday Yarn for the Caron 100th Anniversary.  But everyone LOVED it so it’s going to continue to be available.  Yeah!  I can’t wait to try another colorway.

This week at our regular weekly art classes we had several painters finish the pieces.  And they all did great work!  I love that at our weekly classes each painter is working on whatever they like….I get to see some wonderful art that way.  We have Nancy with her Geraniums from a photo taken on a trip; Cecilia and her elephants; and Catherine with her daughter’s Boxer.  Beautiful work ladies!

Kid’s Paintings Are Amazing

Posted in Animals, art class, tagged , on November 22, 2016| Leave a Comment »

The kids who come to The Studio to paint do an amazing job. Take a look at Caleb’s Crow and Sophia and Joey’s Wolves.  Terrific!  I am always asked if they really do these paintings themselves….and yes, they do!  Since we only have an hour I often sketch their canvas so they can get right to the painting when they arrive.  I think they do so well because they are not afraid to put paint on canvas.  They’ll try everything and they pick up mixing colors very quickly.  Great works are being created at The Studio.  Why do you have your kids join us?  Learn more about our art classes here.
