Princess Bubbles Creates

My dear hubby took me away for a few days for my 50th birthday.  A little shopping therapy goes a long way to soothe.  Really I don't mind turning 50.  I feel fabulous! We stopped at the Corning Glass Museum.  I wasn't sure what to expect.  Hubby was the one that came up with the brilliant idea.  I was a little concerned that they were only going to have cookware!  Well, no worries.  The first piece we came across was done by Dale Chihuly, top picture.  Well, I adore Chihuly's work so that was a thrill for me.  We also work by Tiffany, bottom picture.  So masterful!  The whole exhibit was delightful to see! I love that inspiration can come from anywhere.  I have a piece that I need to finish and I have been wondering how to finish it.  One layered piece caught my attention.  It reminded me a little of some work done by Picasso.  Anyway, I am thinking that I might be able to layer my piece in a simil...

I am excited to announce that I am starting to do some in home studio workshops!  They are going to be a lot of fun as most of my workshops are according to my students! Friday June 22, 2012 at 1pm. Approximately 2 hours long 34 Rose St., Kitchener $20.00 all supplies included In this workshop we will create two pieces of fibre fusion.   We will be working with silk and wool roving.   As well we will be incorporating a variety of interesting materials that will add visual interest.   Class size is limited, register early!    To register you can contact me through this blog or angela@golden.net

Sharon B at http://pintangle.com showed the knotted cretan stitch this week.  I think I got it.  I wish I would have worked it smaller but having just learned it I will accept this as good enough. 

Wow!  This one really stumped me for most of the month.  I had the photo sitting on my table all month and just wasn't sure how I should add the beads.  Today, finally the idea came.  I love the idea of the dangling beads!

Sorry for my absence.  Blogger is not cooperating!  I am not sure what is up with that.  I did a post about my Funky Flower class on Thursday and it never showed up here.  The title is in the file in draft form but there is nothing else there other than the title.  Too weird. The class was a wonderful success!  It was full to the max and everyone produced some lovely things.  We crammed a lot into our short time together!  I have such a blast teaching!  I really enjoy seeing all the creativity. 

Again, another new stitch for me.  I really liked this one as I could immediately see how I could do it my way!  Always, the rebel I prefer to NOT follow instructions.  It just goes against my grain!  Another way to say it is I get a lot of pleasure from my things my own way. On different note, yesterday I posted my 500th blog post!  That really surprised me.  I honestly didn't know that I had that much to say or that much art to share.  I wish I would have thought of a clever give away to celebrate. 

It has been such a busy week getting ready for the Waterloo County Quilt Festival!  I am thrilled to be participating this year.  My work will be for sale in St. Jacobs for the coming week.  So exciting!  Pictured above are a couple of pieces that will be at the show.  I will also be teaching my Funky Flower class on Wednesday.  I believe the class is full but if you ask real nice I might be able to squeeze you into it!
