Our new name tags perhaps?

 

If you attended our January meeting you know that  Janice spent some time organizing some sign up sheets to help us determine what workshops we will have  this year,  She has collected photos of techniques that look interesting,  If you think that you might want to tackle the technique you can volunteer to teach it.  Then we get to vote on what techniques we want to learn, (that's how I ended up doing the Bird/nest hollow lentil bead this Sunday)
At our next meeting we will still be voting since many of our members missed the Jan. meeting.
Here's where the above picture comes in...... we had a discussion at the meeting (again) about it being necessary for our guild to come up with name tags!! (my memory is horrible when it comes to names)
Soooooo, while cleaning out my father's computer desk i came across a whole pile of old floppy disks and being the creative person that i am i just couldn't throw them away before i salvaged the shiny ,metals parts. ( i bet you can relate huh???)
I thought that we could somehow attach the 2 parts.  Maybe the circle could hold the SOPCG logo and the larger piece could have our name and some other interesting bits.  (textures maybe?)
Anyway, I'm throwing it out there as something else to vote on.  Of course someone will need to volunteer to teach the workshop as well.  Is anyone up for the challenge??

Additional Tool Pics For The Cat Pin Class

Pictured above is the pigment ink marker I use to outline the cat's features, as well as the dollar store tool I use for making the cat's eyes.

Donna Kato Workshop

Tomorrow is the start of the Donna Kato workshop in Toronto. I am getting quite excited at the thought of learning new techniques from Donna. I've never had the opportunity to take a class from her but I've heard that she is an amazing teacher. We'll be learning all about creating pods and bracelets. I can hardly wait. I will take some photos and tell you all about it when it's over.
