April Project

This month we will revisit our early childhood by playing with crayons (but in a grown up manner!). We will be making beautiful and super easy artwork for our homes or offices.
Supplies:
White canvas (your choice of size but 11x14 or 16x20 work well
Crayons (I get these at the dollar store. If you are using one range of color as above, you will need several boxes to get enough of that color range.)
Silhouette (I have these to choose from)
Hand held hairdryer

As usual, I will need to hear from you if you plan on attending so I can make sure I have enough for everyone. You can email me at educ8ed1@cox.net

March Project

We will have an option of two projects this month. Who could resist using recycled magazines (don't we all have a ton?!) to make this whimsical and functional bowl.

Or if you prefer, you can make this super easy and inexpensive cake platter from those little plastic pony beads.
The supplies for the bowl are:
     A Balloon
     Old Magazines or Colored Paper
     Scissors
     Glue
     Bamboo Skewer or Quilling Tool

The supplies for the cake platter are
     Large Round Cake Pan
     Enough Pony Beads to Cover Bottom of Pan
     Something to use as a Base (can be wooden or glass)
     Optional: Spray Paint for Base
