Betsy Morgan of Willing Hands


Just returned from 3 days of classes with Betsy Morgan at Elegant Stitch in Modesto, Calif.  The first piece we did  was the Gathering for Winter Etui.  This is an image of the finished etui plus the smalls.

I will post my finished pin cushion soon.



Old World Book with Lisa Renner


Took a class a LONG time ago with Lisa Renner.

This is the front cover:


Interior of book done with adirondack sprays, beeswax, and crayons.  Watercolor paper was folded into signatures and then painted.  Some pages were wet on wet others not.  It was a really messy class but oh so much fun.



The Back Cover:







Another Julie Nutting Class Part Deux

I took another class with Julie and this was the canvas we did.



Witchie Poo Class with Sharon Diskin

This was done with artist grade shrink plastic and colored before shrinking.



Isn't she fabulous.  She has an honored place on my fireplace mantel.

Poppy -- another Jamie Dougherty Class

I love Jamie's classes and am currently enrolled in her online Bloom Girls class.


I am currently filling in more shading with pastels and charcoal (both white and black).

More Beadwork

I was having so much fun beading that I made this twisted peyote piece that I think would make a great pendant.



Isn't this fun?
