Art Camp.....

Upon Arrival the tables were set up so beautiful with these old jugs and sunflowers....simple but lovely! We each had our own wine glass with a handmade charm by Terri with our name on it..cute idea.....and the name tags were beautiful too , Terri told us they used an old wedding dress for the fabric to make all of the name tags and dresses on the front of our bags.

See the trim on the top is also from the wedding dress...



Sunflowers are my favorite and I just loved the way they displayed them..


Each day they did a menu board .


And just look at these cupcakes we had for desert made by Teresita...awesome!!!!!!


These ladies were the cooks....Joy and Terri (sisters) there worked their butts off...I mean really they were in the kitchen 24/7 and always the first ones up in the morning at 5:30 to start breakfast....thank you so much for all your hard work..you ROCK!!!!!!



Now the projects were just as amazing.....first my crown taught my Tiffany, I did not get any before pics..too busy working but it is made out of chicken wire and a heating duct vent....who a thought????


Everybody was so creative with their crowns.....some did Halloween ones...I think I may have to make one when I get home..sorry no pics I was having so much fun....
Then the amazing snow angel...this was taught my Christy Meyers...paper clay molded and baked in the oven overnight.....

The we made this box and the tree inside while we waited for our angels to cook.

When they came out of the oven we painted them and put them in our boxes...

Oh ...but we were not done yet....


The we added glass to the front and soldered it..added feet and I added a ribbon all around it...I just loved this project..she is so cute!
Lastly the soldered crown...this was amazing, I did not think I could do this with all these round pieces..but I did! First step to wrap all of the parts then lay out your design.


The start with making a circle...not so easy.....


But it all came together somehow...I did not quite finish but will add some more at home but I like it so far......
I had such an amazing time.....and so glad to have spent some time with Tiffany , she is an amazing , wonderful woman who I am so glad to call my friend.....
