Dewdrop's first craft day

Dewdrop came over with her mom to do a practice class for Romantic Gothic Ghosts.  The babies came outside to play since it was such a beautiful afternoon. I left the studio door open and made a pen for them  right outside.

The little guys played so hard, they tuckered themselves out and just fell asleep where they stood. It looked like the aftermath of a fraternity party.

One even fell asleep with his head in the food bowl.

Dewdrop was perfect at her first big girl craft day. She decided she needed an apron to wear while she worked.  Her favorite part was the pockets, she filled them with so much she could barely sit down.

Her Gypsy mama created one of Beth's books for the upcoming class.  Beth is providing lots of great materials, and I got out some of the images from the online class too.

(All attendees get the online class included for free.  I'll be printing off some of the images for them to use too. And if you are coming, mabye these pictures will give you some ideas on what you might like to bring to add to your own book)

I made a book while Beth made my Raven tea cup project.

It was fun to try the faux tintype technique.

No two books from the class will turn out the same, Beth is providing lots of goodies and tidbits, and some kits will differ. 

My book and Dewdrop's Gypsy mama's book looked very different from Beth's.  

I can't wait to see all the variations that the rest of the students come up with!

 

Of course, there were lots of breaks to play with puppies.

I'll leave you with some more of the pages our Gypsy created, she really had some nice ones.  She made it her own by adding some gypsy colored ribbons here and there.

Love the felt books. It's great that even given the same ingredients everyone's completed project is different. Dewdrop looks lovely in her pinnie. The puppies are as adorable as ever.
I am looking forward to seeing photos of what people make at your workshop.

"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag . . . . " That scene with the lady from Mary Poppins sitting amongst the pigeons came to mind when I saw beautiful Dewdrop in the first photo! Only Dewdrop's hat is much more beautiful, and the little creatures surrounding her are much more cuddly!

Awww, the little pup asleep with his head in the bowl. : )

Those fabric books are absolutely beautiful!

Ah, Karla, you fill my life with art and inspiration!! Now that I don't have a lot of time, it's so nice to come here, with a cup of hot tea on a rainy morning like today, and just lose myself in your pictures. Speaking of tea, I gotta go make some!
