Ooooooh, and on Saturday the 14th and Sunday the 15th all the way from the U.K., Dyan Reaveley will be demonstrating her fab-u-lous art in the Stampers Anonymous booth. Can hardly wait to see Dyan in person and in action again! She is one of my favorite new peeps! :-)
Gotta go do my final packing for my class at CREATE tomorrow. In the evening from 6p-9p is the Artists' Faire. Unique supplies and one-of-a-kind artwork. I hope I have self control at THAT event! It's open to the public, so even if you're not taking classes, you can stop by after dinner and do some looking around and shopping *wink wink*

And Sunday, to relax, I created a Teesha Moore-inspired necklace today using Fragments and some of Teesha's papers and some metal charms including Idea-ology Muse Tokens . . .
Have an art-filled week ahead everyone!
BC Update: Had a follow-up appointment with my plastic surgeon this past Thursday to check on the "reconstruction site" :) Everything is healing nicely and I don't go back until September 22nd. I go for blood work on September 8th and on September 15th I see the Oncologist.

Play Date Last Sunday and Update on BC Journey
Hi Blogger Buddies! It's been so long (since I returned from the RSC!) since I blogged last, so I will cut to the chase and share my play date I had last Sunday at my friend's home.
Sometimes we call these play dates "Make-n-Steak" because Linda's husband, Bob will bbq steaks for us later in the evening after Linda and I share techniques we've learned either on our own, on-line or at workshops.
First things first . . .
I brought along supplies and some of my pieces to show Linda what I learned in Teesha Moore's workshops . . .
I've been wanting to do some etching on copper and Linda has already done several jewelry pieces using the technique, so when I told her I recently got these really cool book cover rubber stamps by Tim Holtz I wanted to try, she told me to bring them.
Here is my book cover in the making. Stamped and coming out of it's etching bath after about an hour . . .
I thought Alcohol Inks would be cool to color the cover and give it a patina, old world look. I used Lettuce, Butterscotch, Bottle, Caramel, Citrus . . .
This is what I'm going to use (I think) as the back cover. Here's how it looks out of the etching bath with no color added yet. Oops - that's the flash from my cell phone in the lower right hand corner . . .
I really like etching and will definitely be buying the supplies to do some more at home!
Snack time . . .
Show and Tell time. Some of Bob's latest pieces . . .
Then it was play time with Marlena "Marley" . . .
after a swim in the pool . . .
Linda finished up her piece the next day and colored what was a black and white head piece. I just LOVE how it all turned out! . . .
And this is mine . . .
It's always such a fun, relaxing day at The Bucci's. Next time we get together we're going to do shrink art *smiles*.
BC update: I had reconstruction surgery June 27th. Still healing. I think I may have done a little too much a little too soon (the workshops and the rubber stamp convention) or maybe things just take longer to heal than I want them to? I have seen the doctor twice since surgery and will go back on August 18th to discuss the next steps. I'm feeling well and have returned to work. And obviously I'm not going to let the fun stop! *smiles*

Inspiration Emporium's July Challenge
emboss [ɪmˈbɒs]
vb
1. (Fine Arts & Visual Arts / Art Terms) to mould or carve (a decoration or design) on (a surface) so that it is raised above the surface in low relief
2. to cause to bulge; make protrude
You can use embossing folders (like the Sizzix Texture Fades), Tim Holtz Distress embossing powders, or maybe you like using stencils with stencil paste to add a raised section to your artwork. Whatever your preferred method of embossing is, get your mojo working and create an embossed piece to enter our monthly challenge for a chance to win $50 in Emporium Dollars! Read all about it HERE
I created a business card holder necklace using one of my favorite methods for embossing. Following are the products and tools I used to create the "necklace":
The Bingo folder from the Sizzix Texture Fades Embossing Folders 2PK - Bingo & Patchwork Set used with my Tim Holtz - Vagabond Machine Perfect Pearls Mist - Heirloom Gold
Inkssentials - Glossy Accents
Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber - Espresso
Tim Holtz - Idea-ology - Bead Chain
a crown magnet (unknown maker)
cut piece of magnet from a magnet sheet (Michael's craft store)
white cardstock
Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads
Tim Holtz non-stick micro serrated scissors
Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber - Espresso
Isn't this a cool way to carry your business cards when you're at the conventions or at a workshop or just wherever you want to have your business cards handy when someone asks "do you have a card?"
