Making Fun Foods to eat and share!

Been Making some mighty pretty jewelry in our Poly Clay Jewelry classes lately. Have been working with different techniques like Mokume Gane

"Get Your Craft On" Classes at Atria Richardson and Atria Carrollton

We've been learning about a new craft- Paper Piecing- it can be used to create cards, scrapbook papers and in our case a 3D framed picture

Welcome September! It's been a busy August and we have been having fun inside, but are looking forward to doing a few garden projects so we can take advantage of cooler weather. Our Baubles and Bead making classes have been a real hit and we are learning a lot about making our own jewelry from Polymer Clay. We also have completed several other mixed media projects in August- our Patchwork Bird Collages and Rolled Paper Bead Frames.

What a busy month of activities! We have made patriotic bird houses, paper napkin cards, red white and blue wreaths and started working with Polymer Clay. I think Poly clay is going to be a real class favorite cause it is so fun and easy to work with. Am firing a lot of beads and projects this week and will take pictures of everyone's finished jewelry as soon as we finish our projects.

Just posted a new article on my blog about the benefits of Art Programs for Seniors- please check it out at http://elderlife.blogspot.com
