I went to Paper Cowgirl about a month ago, and realized I've never posted about it. Beforehand, there were swaps. I signed up for four of them, so I made these flowers:
And these horses:
And this bracelet:
And some ATC cards I forgot to get a picture of. Oops.
In return, I got some really cool flowers, horses, ATC's, and a gorgeous bracelet - but I need to get pics of all that, so I'll post them next time.
While I was at PC, I took two classes. First up that morning, Found & Rebound, taught by Deb Taylor. We took the covers of old books and recovered them with pretty fabric and paper and added new pages to make a journal. Mine's still not quite finished, I got it all sewn together, but I need to finish off the ends of the thread it's sewn together with.
After lunch, I took the Shabby Classy Necklace class, taught by Angela Berger.
We made this necklace:
I know this is a really long post, but I'm not quite done yet. Yesterday, my sister Helen and I got together to try making some jewelry. She finished two really pretty necklaces in the time it took me to do one bracelet. And really, my bracelet was supposed to be a necklace, it just wasn't cooperating, so I decided to go a different direction. When I was done, I had some beads left over, so I made a simple pair of earrings to match. It's not perfect, but it's not too bad, given how new I am at making jewelry, so I'm okay with that.
Anyway, I think that's all I've got to talk about today. I'm really going to try to update more regularrly, maybe once a week or so - but don't hold your breath.
