Images of Naturesque and A Very Vintage "Glovely" Book

As I mentioned in the newsletter we've got Guest Instructors Danielle and Peggy Forma visiting on June 26th.  Here are their class descriptions again along with one picture from each project.  I'll post on the blog when the actual books are in store and available for a closer look.  They're just spectacular!

• "Naturesque", 10am-1pm.  The inspiration for this book comes from Danielle's love of nature and soothing blues and greens. We will be learning many unique techniques using "nature-like" materials including metal, cork, and wood. We will be stamping and embossing using Sizzix dies and Tim Holtz alcohol inks as well as embroidering some canvas cloth.  We will also use some recycled items such as newspaper and bottlecaps in the layouts.  $50 non-refundable class fee.

• A Very Vintage "Glovely" Book, 2-5:30pm.  We are taking a used book and repurposing it to make it look like a beautiful vintage book!  We will be taking out the insides of the books and sewing in “signatures”.  These are pages made with beautiful papers and many different techniques.  You will be making envelopes, inking masks, building houses, covering birds and even decorating branches.  There are flowers galore, ribbons, buttons, and so much more…  You can add pictures to this book or just leave it as a work of (he)art if you want. $50 non-refundable class fee. (samples will be in the store soon)

And here is a photo of the cover of Peggy's "Glovely" Book.
