a token of friendship......

The pipe cleaners are at it again! A friend that I work with lost her Father to cancer just recently. It's been a busy time and I wanted to do something for her and rather than real flowers I created a "pipe cleaner" flower arrangement. It was so much fun to do. She was thrilled to say the least and I was so happy to see her smile and enjoy them! Overall it was a good creative experience. They make me smile too! Now I am ready to create more.....just love those pipe cleaners!

a simple pipe cleaner

I have been working on some projects lately and have got on this "BIG" pipe cleaner kick! I have always loved making stuff from pipe cleaners. Nowadays they come in different colors, sizes, textures....you name it. Sooooooooo I created this little ballerina....in all her glitter, glitzy glory....and my students and fellow colleagues at work just loved her.....me too!

polymer clay class......

On February 28th I had a polymer clay class with all my beading friends.....we had a wonderful time....a productive time....and an creative time. The day just flew by....and everyone enjoyed themselves. I just loved all of it! Here are the girls just creating away......


We did some swirling of colors which then turned into these really neat beads and pendants.....it's the beginning of the creative process!!!





Winston had a great time with everyone too! He just loves his Aunt Liz!!!!

A video to enjoy!

Origami in NYC.....

On December 27th I drove into NYC to go and enjoy the Holiday fanfare that is so popular this time of year. The weather was perfect...54 degrees with sunny skies. My friend Kathy and I decided to take in the American Museum of Natural History where Origami USA displays a tree every year for Christmas with a different theme, which this year is animals..Origami A to Z.It was spectacular to see and was the first time for me. TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!! Kathy and I were just amazed at all the models on display. I was sooooo thrilled to be able to do this and want to share these pics with you! The museum.....
