Heatstroke

It's already Tuesday, and the pumped-up excitement of the Art Hop is over. I'm expressing sarcasm. It was sooo hot we all just melted, and so did the crowds since they were just nonexistent. We have to remember it was the first year they closed off the entire street. But, on a positive note, we had a blast! It's not that often we all get together to bond over the common link of creativity and community. I spent some time with other DIY teachers and enjoyed our conversations about witchcraft, potential and prosperity. Even though our world was literally melting, we still had our sunny day parade.


Look at this amazing bead work by Teresa Sullivan. I've never seen anything like it!


Here is a blurry close-up of one of my print necklaces. It's a piece of one of my monotypes in a pewter pendant.


Here's Jen Neitzel and I enjoying our Florida Rum delight...they went down so smooth on this 100 degree day!


We made a toast to future SUCCESSFUL events and to the growth of the DIY Lounge (and of course, Collage). I'm very proud to be part of this growing community of craft and individuality.
