Everyone was talking about the next one they're going to make and I'm happy to say they've said they want me back to teach something else next year ♥

Teaching Star books
I taught my last class for the year yesterday - Star Books.
I made notes for class handouts and here I am all packed and ready to share supplies and inspiration
It sure spreads out on a table
and soon becomes messy ;-)
These were my samples for inspiration for the day
The students fully embraced the mess and sharing nature of such a project
As a bonus I taught them how to make lovely crusty tyvek beads
They'll look great attached to their tie closures - just got a photo of one completed :-)
After a couple of hours of making pages, they were ready to put their books together
Don't they look awesome? (click on any photo to see it larger)
All different in colours - all so lovely. View from the top shows their star shape a bit.
It was a VERY fun day for everyone concerned.

Sounds great. For me it is just a boost and a reminder that there are other people out there who love mixed media. Just have to find some locals!
ReplyDeleteThank you for an amazing, stimulating day, I love my tiny book and can't wait to start my next one, I'm already planning and gathering!

Yay Sue - exactly what I hoped for you :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like your ladies had a blast! Love all those star books - not something I have tried before, but I have a book showing how to make them so I have no excuses! Loving those tyvek beads as well! That stencil on top of the pile is to die for. Do you know what it's called, so I can look for it? I find your teaching very inspirational, in terms of trying it myself if I could just muster up the courage one day!
ReplyDeleteYou have probably seen that stencil in a few pieces of my work - one of my absolute favourites. It's just from Spotlight (craft chain here and in Australia) - I'm sending you a private email about it :-)
