Its my Birthday and I'll do what I want to.......

Great another Birthday is upon me and I'm feelin fine...........

Tony has given me a wonderful gift........This weekend I am taking a two day class with

Michael Demeng http://www.michaeldemeng.blogspot.com/ The Mad Alchemist Cabinet. I can't even express how much fun I had today! Oh wait yes I can! I Had SOOOOO Much Fun! A little stressful at first because I had no clue as to what the heck I was doing, but Michaels a great teacher and the other students (who have done this kinda art before) where very helpful.

I'm realy nervous with paint and Michael had some great technics and tips for color mixing and applying paint.

Here are a few pictures from todays class.This is what we started with.A plain wooden shadowbox sorta thing. I applied some sort of kitchen calking stuff to it for texture then started putting objects on it and painting.

Checkout this eye pendent I made.FYI......I'm working on a few of these for Bead & Button.

So by the end of today I had my first layer of paint and a few objects in place.......

I cant wait to show you the finished piece.........Happy Birthday to me.I'm singing that.

I also just taught a class in Mount Pleasant,SC at the beaded Venus.I love those girls! We had such a great time with bronze and copper clay.

We did have a few green hands..........Hummmm........Copper.

Thanks girls and I hope to see you this summer for a play date.
