I had 5 great classes at Silver Bella, this is my project from a class by Lisa Kaus, entitled: Joy Within.
I'm not quite finished with this...it needs some collage bits and words added, but the base is done.
We used collage with pastel crayons and charcoal pencils (totally new for me) to create a grid format.
Mine didn't have sharp grid lines-I kind of overlapped, but it was supposed to reflect "me", so I think it does! I was challenged by this class and learning new techniques, but honestly I wish it had gone on for another hour or two. I was really liking the pastel crayon thing and I may have to go buy some!
The next class was with Sally Jean Alexander called : Prize-a-licious...
Even though I practiced my soldering, this was still a hard class for me. We were working with a shape, and it was layered and thick, and had SEVEN stinking jump rings!!
I used velvet ribbon, text from a hymnal, vintage lace and wallpaper and rhinestones.
The bottom dangling piece is from an old earring. The back has more vintage wallpaper and a hymnal verse that says "go tell the sweet story". You could make this a pin or necklace-I chose to make a necklace...for now it is on a ribbon, but it's on my to-do list :) Challenging classes with great rewards!
