FAIRYTALE ALTERED BOOK CLASS at the Castle!

Yesterday's 'FairyTale' class at the CASTLE was a little like a 'Who's Who' in local Blogland! Queen of Crowns Donna O'Brien came with the ever-talented Doll Maker Colleen Moody and the lovely Iva Wilcox! Truly, I believe Brianna's Angel was hovering over their table all day... Also in class was Lorraine, who flew in from Washington D.C., a true vision in PINK, we were delighted to learn that her lovely home was recently featured on Amy's Wonderful Blog Inspireco! You must go and take a look at it HERE!!! Three other lovely ladies also joined us, sweet and charming Carol, and the enchanting Shannon who treated her delightful friend Susy to a 'Birthday' treat of a class at the CASTLE! It was a fabulous day, and lots of beautiful fairytale pages were created!!! GREAT JOB GIRLS!!!

FAIRYTALE ALTERED BOOK CLASS SAMPLE!

Better Late Than Never! Here is my Sample book for Tomorrows 'Fairytale Altered Book' Class at the CASTLE! I wanted this book to be child friendly, and also appeal to the child in all of us. Little children (tied on with silk ribbons) fly with birds, picnic with pink dragons, play 'dress-up', ride bell-peppers and bathe with ducks! We begin their story peeking out of a tea-cup and end with them all tucked in bed!!! The dog on the back cover has mirrors for eyes, since we all know we like looking at ourselves best! What better way to welcome childhood into our lives again?!!

7 Rabbits And 7 Witches In Hayward!

Yesterday I taught my Paperclay Figural Theatre Class to 14 wonderful women from the Flying Phoebes Cloth Doll Club in Hayward! We had Seven Rabbits and Seven Witches sharing space, laughs and stories... Spring time bunnies played with zombie witches... a Kwanzaa rabbit sat next to a circus bunny... and a day of the dead madame found company with a purple skinned witch! The last three photos are 'inside the skirt theatre' details inspiring unimagined stories. What an amazing day!!!

Blessings Of A Ribboned Crown!

Today I have been truly blessed..! Just look at this amazing crown gifted to me, by the talented Donna O'Brien of THE RIBBONED CROWN!!! STUNNING doesn't even begin to describe it! Not only does it have my own personal initial on it, but it is encrusted with antique glass glitter, gold dresden, lovely streamers of ivory silk ribbon and vintage flowers. And if that isn't enough to top a girls day - just look at the box it came in!!! A magnificent confection of delightful fairytale images, and more glitter, dresden and vintage flowers... I am swooning like a Queen should when gifted with such beauty! Words can't even begin to describe how lucky I feel!!! THANK YOU DEAREST Donna, for making me feel so special and for being such a wonderful friend!!!
