Linda Peterson, Maureen Carlson, and Kathleen Dustin share something about themselves and their work. Enjoy.

Join us as we share with you the experiences we had while at this winter's CHA show, the artists we met, the demos we saw, and the products we encountered.

To see more about Bottles of Hope, visit www.bottlesofhope.org

Our friend Lisa Pavelka once again served as the Master of Ceremonies for this winter's competition, entitled "Hope on a Rope." Contestants created themed necklaces each featuring a bottle. Necklaces will be auctioned off and the proceeds given to cancer research charities. One of our PCAGOE members entered a cute necklace with a delightful sculptured monkey, and the Best of Show award went to an incredible rendering of the familiar monsters from "Where the Wild Things Are."

Watch and see... and we'll be creating a slide show of closeups of the entries for you to enjoy.

We share our thoughts with you this week about the CHA show we will be visiting this Saturday-Wednesday.

Enjoy!

This week, watch our video demo where we talk about how to do ATCs and ACEOs, what the difference is, (ATCs are trading cards, ACEOs can be sold) and see a couple of examples. We also show Hearty and Lumina air dry clays, which we rolled flat and put through punches and colored on with Copic markers…fun stuff!
