Sherri the Fairy Queen visits Whimzy!

 Last weekend the talented  Sherri Baldy visited Whimzy!  

Sherri taught her "fairy Crown" class!

 Sherry demonstrated how to create the base

Everyone then started to decorate their fairy crowns. 

Each was different and truly lovely!

Aren't they fabulous!  Cheryl, Marilyn, Sherri, Andrea, Terry, Kim and Cyndy!  

Each with their crowns and goody bags!

And you know the best part?  We laughed and giggled and now have new friends!

Later that day.........!

Kim, Cheryl and I had a flag twirling moment!  Just for fun!

If you are interested in a class with Sherri, you can find her online class info here!

She will be with us at Glitterfest on March 19th!

Mini Crown Inspiration

I been having so much fun creating little fancies! You just never know where inspiration will strike! And when it does you hope that is is truly yours! Sometimes in that twilight zone of sleep, when my brain finally calms down, the most amazing images coalesce, no drugs either! The key is to remember the thought the next morning. Sometimes it won't come to me no matter what I do! Other times it does and the creating begins. The tradtional Maypole Celebration was the key! These things never turn out exactly as I pictured. As an artist, that is part of the journey, but I always enjoy the twists and turns each project takes to completion!

I will be offering a class for this petite confection on Sunday, March 14th, won't you join me for some creative fun? Go to Whimzy! to register!

Winter Wire Crown

January was the opportune time for me to get my head around teaching a wire crown class. Bending wire is something I have done for years and I really don't think about what I am doing when I do it! So, by breaking it down step by step for my students it allows me to see it from a different perspective.

My student was the lovely and very fun Joleen Dismo! We had a great time together creating my Winter Wire Wonder! As well as getting to know eachother. Joleen not only makes crowns, but she does custom embroidery. She puts together personalized specialty baby gifts for showers & such!

It was a truly relaxing afternoon. Creating, chocolate, and a new friend! Thank you Joleen!

The next class is on February 7th 11 to 2 for my
Queen of Hearts Party Hat! It will be on display this weekend during the JasVil Fleamarket. Stop by, say "Hi!", and take a peek!

It just takes a little paint!

This was my project Friday! A friend of mine and fellow Jasvil girl asked if I would paint a crown in her daugter's room. This design is off of one of the lovely pillows Rose Carey creates. Her pillows are available at Whimzy! It did take the better part of the day, but WOW! was it worth it! Want some royal bling for your home? Email me~Whimzy@sbcglobal.net and let's talk!
