Cash Mob at Happy Delusions

Sadly, our friend Mary Clymer is closing her store in Renton. Happy Delusions had been a bright spot in Renton as many businesses struggle to stay above water. Mary has given many artists and crafters a place to showcase and sell their work for the last 5 years. August and September will be the last chances to visit and support this great shop. A cash mob is planned on September 25th to show our love and appreciation for Mary. Don't miss it!!!

ART CAMP 2012: SO much fun!!!

Our campers were all girls this year! We made tools, got brave and used them to make art supplies, and then got down to creating a whole bunch of fantastic and functional things!!! Hope you enjoy the pics and can see yourself joining us sometime. YES we mean adults too! Watch for one day classes. Some of them will be sure to fit your interests!

Homemade Halloween

Cole here -
Smash asks Squirt "What do you want to be for Halloween?"

Squirt says - "A Blue Whale"

Mommy says - Groan....

You might imagine I would love to make my little squirt an beautiful homemade costume - usually you would be right! But my hesitancy starts with our experience last year... Squirt wanted to be big bird - I dove in - creating, loving it, looking at Martha, Sesame and pouring hours & love into this costume (ROOKIE MOM MISTAKE). I even made hats for Smashy & I to match. The only element of the five-part costume I could get on Squirt - the bright pink bird legs with marabou feather rings!

Yep - he is a boy and he officially went as "bird legs"

Thus began the Blue Whale challenge - none are commercially made, he wouldn't go for a killer whale costume (informing me that those are what kill real whales - smart I know).

I committed I would make a modular costume. All the big elements (mouth, tail, flippers) had to be removable - so no sadness and we all have a great experience on all Hallows Eve.

I decided all of the costume would be build around a sweatshirt, and jeans & a blue shirt would be the base.

I used fabric from my stash and drew out paper patterns for the spout, flippers & tail. I just free-handed the mouth and eyes. He loves it - win! He has it on - win! It cost a total of $5 - WIN!

Glitter

Wouldn't the world be a happier place with more glitter in the world? I just found a glitter pen (at Fred Myers - it is an elmers pen). I played around with it and loved the look. I also have quite a few loose glitters that I have mixed with gloss gel medium to keep it a little cleaner in the studio. This is a great trick for glitter fests with the kid-lets.

Spend 15 minutes creating today!
