This was one of her dolls with a Kanashi flower which she showed me how to make. She showed us how to make the flower using tin foil/aluminium but told me how to adapt it to fabric.
These are some of her bracelets. She does some fantastic Henna Work which I guess spills over into her painting.
Not sure if she or someone else did these shoes. But they were kinda cute. And the hats ...
But look at this mask
Wait until you see mine ...
The Make and Take was either to make a Kanashi flower or to decorate a mask (just an eye mask) which I, and the girl next to me, made but then she made a flower to go on her mask and I just made one for the hell of it. Wish I had taken pictures of the masks Brenda had on display but as I was so busy with my own decorating and as she was nearing the end of the day (and her time at CHA - she was flying home early next day) I totally missed out on it.
My Attempt using Viva Products
Alice in Wonderland was the theme for Viva and here are some photos of the stand, so much work, and a lot of it courtesy of Brenda.
Look at all those butterflies that some of the staff had made. Must have taken them ages to make them and also ages to assemble the stand. Here's the table for the tea party.
and here is the toad
(I saw Brenda's photo of him undressed - oops!)
Alice was so cute
and I didn't realise until later that the toadstool on her demo table was fabric
Look at Alice's spectacles - and her lips .. love those big eyes of hers.
That's it Folks!
Hope Julia lets me get away with this as my desk again. I'll leave you with one more shot. My beautiful mask from Brenda - if nothing else goes home - this will! I love it and am so pleased with my gift.
It does look a bit spooky here against the wall in Mary's but honestly it really is beautiful. See below for close ups.
I should have worn it, with real eyes it looks so much better.
Well, I love it/her!
All done with Viva products.

Now nip over to WOYWW with Ms Julia and see what's in store for you. Lots of goodies to see and maybe a tip or two on storage.

Hope Miss Julia has a lot of forgiveness this week, as I didn't post but am having a snoop anyway! Those masks are breath taking. Can't wait to see what you have done, and how to make that cute flower.

Loving your CHA posts and desks Neet, so detailed and full of genuine interst instead of the rushing from celebrity to celebrity that I keep coming across! I agree, Brenda is an amazing artist; can totally see why you're drawn to her style.
I've been enjoying all your posts from cha Neet, what a brilliant trip. Amazing masks from the "other" Brenda lol!, beautiful work.
