Its been a while since I did this post on Papier Mache Botanical Models. I still love these wonderful scientific and didactic yet fanciful models! These images, also from Staetshuys Antiquairs are just as inspiring and wonderful...!

I am falling a little behind in posting - sorry... This last weekend I had 10 wonderful women join me in learning 26 plus plus plus techniques at the Castle. This is a fast paced class, where students focus on 3 to 5 techniques per alphabet letter. Its amazing to see how each student renders the techniques, and no book looks the same in the end! We use Moleskine Japanese Accordian books to present the letters, so that everyone goes home with a colorful lineup of multiple techniques. This class is perfect for those who want to learn about altered books in a two day intensive!
Now YOU get to guess which letters are shown here!

Every year of my life, on this morning I have been serenaded by song, and this morning was no exception! From near and far, phone calls, emails, letters and hugs have arrived - letting me know how truly Blessed I am! My Mother told me (again) this morning how happy she was that day 49 years ago, at 2:12 am when I arrived, and I told her how happy I am too, that I am here! Life is indeed good!
These amazing antique movable Silhouettes are a small part of a stunning gift given to me yesterday by The Queen of Ribboned Crowns who always makes me smile and laugh and helped me celebrate my day - a day early. Doesn't that look like me above, singing with Sadie? And surely tonight the golden candle will be lit when my dear husband opens the door!

I did it! The six tutorials that I presented at last weeks Tinsel and Treasures Show have now been made into PDF's and are ready to purchase in My ETSY Shop! For ease and convenience I have added the Etsy Mini-shop to my sidebar. Just press on one of the tutorial images and it will take you right there!
These first six are all 'small' projects, as opposed to my larger 'classroom' projects. Each takes about an hour to complete. The PDF's have been formatted to fit American standard letter size paper, as well as Universal A4 size paper. Each tutorial comes with detailed instructions with lots of photos, and beautiful patterns and images.
I can't wait to hear what you all think of them!!!

In the spirit of the season, construct a small, casket-shaped shadowbox with a candle holder mounted on top and a skeleton dangling inside. I will show you how to build the shadowbox with a lid that opens and closes, and how to ruche hand-dyed velvet to create a rich looking interior. I will also give you ideas for decorating the skeleton in ways that might suggest a story about his or her previous life. My skeleton is posed in quite a touching way with a small heart clutched in his hand - he died, you see, of a broken heart...
Fee: $95.00 includes all materials plus skeleton

Take an imaginary trip to the Far East while creating this charming pagoda like structure from specialty papers and dresden paper trim. (you may chose your own colors or make one similar to mine) I will show you how to create the Chinese lantern hanging from the center of the roof - which contains battery-operated lights for a touch of magic. The pagoda is perfect for displaying a special treasure, such as the vintage Oriental doll shown here (doll not part of class).
Fee: $95.00 includes all materials
