It was such a treat to have Julee Herrmann in the studio. She always brings such a creative energy with her…it leaves me happy for days….
I just got an update that she uploaded some photos
Here are Leila’s Domino creations….
I believe they belong to Linda Lubovich…please correct me if I am wrong.
It was such a fun time. It leaves me wanting to play with my dremel and wire…stamps, images, magic glos OH MY! It is a good thing I’m not writing this from the studio…I’d have dropped my laptop already to jump in and play.
I believe there are some kits available…I’ll be checking with Julee on this…email me if you want to reserve a kit….or even studio time to come in and make your very own…we’ve got the raw materials here in the studio.
Have a fabulous Friday…I am off to the kids classrooms to work on altered books and artist journals.
Look for some pictures coming soon.
