I am the Penultimate Prichard and Cozen groupie!

Those of you who have met me at Sewing By the Sea or in blogland know that I am almost always taking a Land of Lost Luggage class. 4 times a year, I'm there! I rave about Julie and Chis and I am constantly bugging them to design a tee shirt that I can get through Cafe Press.



And so I want all of you to know that they're offering a chance for someone to win all those wonderful classes I've taken AS WELL AS all of their upcoming classes, for ever! YOU need to go,  pick a class and dive in - the water is beyond divine! Art is the source of long and happy lives, you know, and Julie and Chris will help you do it in glorious color.

You'll be glad you did!

My Review of Daler-Rowney Artsphere Arts and Crafts Workstation

Originally submitted at Jerry's Artarama Art Supplies

A versatile desktop workstation which swivels and rotates to any working position. A brilliant new concept for artists modellers and craft enthusiasts. Ball joint allows complete freedom of movement, and the sturdy grip locks ball firmly in position.

I will be buying a second, maybe 3rd!

Pros: Nice

Cons: Best

Best Uses: Personal

Describe Yourself: Hobbyist

I love the versatility of this. It is the perfect height at my workstation and I can tilt for the best angle and also set it level for pouring gels and resin in jewelry making. I will be getting another at Art of the Carolinas if available, and at the retail store if not so I can have resins curing at the same time I paint.

Craft Test Dummies Rocks!

And not just because I won this polymer clay prize from Jenny .  Craft Test Dummies NCM giveaway I love CTD because it helps me not waste my money - real people using real products under regular conditions - the state of my studio is never optimal . How things work in a lab setting or controlled environment isn't helpful to me - Hootenanny Hollow, with 4 humans and 5 furkids (How in the world did we end up with 300+ pounds of rescued dogs? That story at a later date!) is always barely controlled chaos.

Today's to-do list: learn about labels when making blog posts and pack for my retreat at Ocean City MD tomorrow. Needlearts Adventures - not just for sewing! is the website - join us in the fall! Or heck, stop by and say Hi this weekend!



Thank you big time to Jenny and Lisa Pavelka for encouraging me to learn, try, and DO!  Art is just an idea until you make it!

How I wish Lisa Pavelka was the girl next door...

I took a class from her at Cabin Fever Clay Fest 10 2 weeks ago and had a blast! I am going to be finishing my pendant and making more using her faux raku method next week. In the meantime, I'm crossing my fingers and toes that the craft goddess of the universe will smile on me and I'll win this prize -

it begins with just a touch

An iPod Touch, that is. ANd a learming curve, and enthusiasm. And a need for smaller thumbs....
