DIY Party Workshop at SCRAP in S.F.








Join me at SCRAP in S.F.  for a DIY party workshop. Get inspired to make your
own party decorations, center pieces, creative wrapping techniques for favors
or party bags, banners and invites. Of course all materials will be repurposed or
recycled to make a green party for all.

June 30,2012 
Saturday 12-5pm
$30.00 




These party hats were fun and easy to make. I searched in my studio and found a variety of paper to use.
Do you recognize the former atlas page, card board, wall paper and re-used wrapping paper. This is just one 
of the projects we can work on at the DIY party workshop next week!

Ramekkon O'arwister at the de Young Museum





We celebrated friends Leslie and Yuriko's birthday by going to the de Young museum and checking out the Jean Gautier fashion exhibit. 
Another friend Susan told us not to miss checking out the Artist in Residence 
Ramekon O'arwisters show in the Kimball Gallery. It was amazing! We all crocheted some materials onto a huge art piece and some of us added pieces to the object pieces.  I am planning on donating puzzle piece and fabric to his studio for more art pieces. This show is down now sorry to say but I had to post about it.

Crafting a green world in glass- Terrarium Class




HURRY on over to Ruth's Table in San Francisco for our first open vessel terrarium class this 
Saturday the 28th of April. I will be assisted in the workshop by owners of 
the Succulent Sisters. In the tradition of Ruth's Table we will be repurposing glass found at thrift stores and rummage sales and adorning our miniature green worlds with succulents and an assortment of wood, glass or shells if desiredl

Go to Ruth's Table website and click on programs. The workshop is $20.00 for adults and $7.00 for children accompanied by an adult.




Check out all the succulents at Claude Geffray's green house in Chico, Ca. I had such
a hard time choosing the succulents for the class!






Here are some of the succulents that I chose for the terrarium class.
