I heart SCRAP fundraiser

This past weekend I volunteered  and put on a Valentine event along side Dorothy Yuki at our favorite art supply store in San Francisco- SCRAP. We were happy to help host a room full of Valentine crafts. We had a steady stream of crafters young and older coming through the workshop room re-creating and 

and repurposing. There was music, food and a lot of people supporting the

wonderful SCRAP.

Our friends Hannah and Jonathan from FabMo came to support Scrap.

and Dorothy Yuki.

The crowds were steady with crafters for four hours in the workshop space.

We made pins using  scalloped punches, a stapler and pin back.

I set up  the Typewriter Station at this fundraiser and again it was a big hit. A lot of people used the typewriters to peck out messages to include in their Valentines.

                                                                              


                                                                

Here are the results from last weekends Fabmo Zipper brooch workshop that I gave with Dorothy Yuki. It was another fun group of participants and they all made some great pins.

Everyone hard at work repurposing the zippers.

Our 9 year old participant Skyler put her zipper creation onto

 her headband. Isn't that cute?

I am giving a workshop at Fabmo this weekend in Mountain View with Dorothy Yuki. It is on Sunday January 29,2012. We are going to teach how to make brooches out of reclaimed zippers. It will be a lot of fun. Please check it out.
