Today, I begin my morning with a Facebook live class that I'm teaching. At 10:30, I'll share the techniques for dyeing the plastic eggs we did last weekend. I'm looking forward to showing others how simple and fun this technique is.
This afternoon, I'm taking a new class with Clara of Clara Stitching. This class is the Northern Mockingbird Brooch. I pulled this image off her website so I could show you what we're learning. You know me...rather than complete it as a brooch, I'm going to finish this one the same way we did the Blue Tit - as a hanging ornament. That way, I can display it next to the other bird in my studio.
You can see from Clara's drawing that this bird is waiting for its legs and feet, and then it will be beautifully finished.
I'm planning to just take notes today, but will begin the work on it soon. I have a few other important pieces in line ahead of it, and this will be a two-session course. The second session is next weekend, so I'll try to get something done before then.
It's going to be a busy day, and I still have final setup to get done before the class I'm teaching begins, so I'd better head to the studio. I hope you have something fun planned for this weekend! We can compare notes on Monday. Happy Weekend!
I can't wait to see the video, although I haven't gotten anywhere yet to get the supplies.
ReplyDeleteI will do that next week as I have a dental appointment that is close to a Hobby Lobby.
Oh, that bird will be amazing!
Can't wait to see yours.

ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteIsn't it beautiful? I hope I do it justice! My class was fun, even with a couple glitches. The next time will be better (fingers crossed).

Sherry of createology: This little bird will be precious in your beading beauty. I’m looking forward to your Alcohol Easter Eggs live video.

Oh, those beautiful beaded birds will always get my applause! I love the beauty of birds and greatly appreciate how people use their artistic abilities and assorted mediums to portray them. Will look forward to your completed work.
ReplyDeleteHi, dear Lois:
DeleteI can't wait to get started on this one. Rather than finish it as a brooch, I'm going to finish it as a hanging ornament, like the last one I did. I'll share progress photos soon.

Sherry of createology: Donna Dear your live video was such fun. I enjoyed hearing your voice. The Easter eggs turned out gorgeous. There were no mistakes…just keep adding alcohol inks.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry:
DeleteSo glad you were there. You're so sweet! You're right, too. No mistakes. Just keep playing with them. I'm going to finish up that dozen Sunday afternoon to add to our Easter/spring tablescape.
