A new adventure...in Paperclay

I just finished an online class with Nancy Malay at Artful Gathering.

I have been wanting to work with paperclay for a long long time and when I saw this class 

on making PC Birdies...well...

I knew I had to give it a try!

aren't they just the cutest?

of course,being the trouble student...heehee..I decided not to go with the designs Nancy offered in the class...as beautiful as they are...I had to make my birdie..well,"my" Birdie

Here she is in the early stages...

and here's my "Queenie" Birdie

Boy that was fun fun FUN! I have already started on some new pieces...yup I'm hooked!

"Queenie" is now available in the shop.

In the Light of the Moon

New on the Paper Whimsy Inspire Blog

I visited with the Moon tonight

She was full - bright and endless

She reached into my heart

And filled it with Love

She cradled me in her warm silvery arms

Her soft voice told me that

I am beautiful... I am Love...

I have purpose... there is meaning to my life!

Winged Seed Pendants Online Workshop

I am so very excited to announce my new online workshop at...Dum dum dum...heehee 

PaperWhimsy!

Winged Seed Pendants

Sometimes I need a little reminder …something to center my heart and place me in the path of living a purpose driven life. With daily distractions of busy nothings, I’m the type of person that needs a constant reminder to snap me back into the moment. These winged seed pendants do just that…they help me along as I stumble and wobble may way through life’s journey.

Beginning with the word I choose, this talisman becomes my seed.  Reminding me to repeat the word in my head, helping my heart to echo the small seed over and over, graciously guiding me to grow, and to bloom, into the person I hope to be.

In this class you will:

·         Create your own frame

·         Work with two kinds of resin

·         Work with Color Spray and Fabric

·         Learn how to add texture to wood

·         Do some hands stitching and machine stitching

·         Learn new techniques using a Heat gun

Come join me at http://www.paperwhimsy.com/classes/seedpendants/index.html
