The weather was just GORGEOUS, so we worked inside and outside throughout the day.
Carolyn Waitt - (one of MY all-time favorite mixed media instructors!) showing all of us how to be safe
when cutting "real" tin to make tin litho charms . . .
Bob (Linda's husband) even got in on the fun after returning from his Saturday morning art class
Here's Carolyn giving all of us a wire-wrapping demo inside. . .
Look at the teeny tiny eyelets we attached
to the 2-sided charms!
to the 2-sided charms!
So what did I do today? Well, I went on Ebay to look for some "real" tin cans. I won an auction of 4 Fossil watch tins before I headed out to enjoy the Southern California sunshine.
Do you think that Linda, Martha (who was visiting from the Palm Springs area) and I really like our Cindy Forrester earrings?! All three of us were wearing them yesterday! Hi Cindy - we love you *smiles*
I hope everyone has a great week ahead! What will YOU create?

If I had known how to do this, I would have saved the life of a lot of tins!!! These look fabulous, Sherry.
What a wonderful array of art and fun projects beautifully displayed. I have enjoyed my first visit to your lovely blog and look forward to returning!
Looks absolutely fab! Love the use of tin, so creative!
You will so love working with tin. I took a wonderful class at ArtFest and found out about these scissors. I don't know if this was mentioned in the class but you must get yourself some Joyce Chen scissors that you can find on line in a kitchen shop or on ebay. They were made for cutting chicken, etc in the kitchen. They cut tin like butter and don't leave a sharp edge. Of course, I only use mine for tin cutting.
Love the charms! I'd like to know how you dull the sharp edges, and is there a site or blog for Carolyn Waitt?
Thanks.
Hmmm, sunshine....I am Forest Moss with envy LOL Hey, those earrings are gorgoues...and .. looks like you all have had a grand time...loving the ickle charms loads x
La Poeta - I didn't have a way to contact you, so I'm hoping you will come back here for a reply to your question. No, I'm sorry to say that Carolyn does not have a website or blog. Not sure where you live, but if you e-mail me, I can let you know where she may be teaching in the future.
Sherry, I live in AZ. My e-mail: christina.lapoeta.trevino@gmail.com
I started checking your blog through Linda from Stampmaiden Artventures
Sherry -
These came out fabulous! How hard are they to make? I just love how they look.

I have to answer with "nothing is hard with a fab-u-lous instructor and the right tools!" *smiles*
