I had a photo taken with Tracy ON HER OWN but SOMEONE SNEAKED IN! What's the face for Andy?
So Sunday saw us in the other classroom with Andy Skinner. Now the evening before he had told me what they were doing and guess what? A million to one chance that someone would have been to his class at CHA would be attending Dare to Create LIVE - but I was that one. Bless! Andy gave me other things to decorate my book with and I came up with
Now I wish I had used a rust effect on the cogs but as I have plenty left over (and I bought some a while ago) I can do rusty ones on something else.
We are at the far end of the first table
and here's Lorraine and me painting our books
and Tracy with Cassie (with my apron on inside out)
After yet another hearty lunch (and a dib in the dried figs outside the classroom) it was time to do the collaboration - never done before but by golly it worked. Tracy and Andy swapped about doing bits of the next workshop and we had a brilliant time.
Not sure what Tracy was doing here
The only trouble was that with being so many of us the stencil I wanted was in use and so I had to wait for it for ages and now I want to do something else to my picture and give it more texture. Not had chance as yet but am working on making a slot in my timetable.
That is me stood at the back by the screen - and Lorraine is in a red apron with a stripey top to the right of me.
Wonder what I was asking?
Nice photo of Lorraine - but me!!
When I got home I did add the 'eye' to it - I love Andy's eye with the little hand crawling out. It now says "I (eye) Love (heart) ART" get it? Or is it better without it? Not stuck yet so I'll see what others think first.
Now for some samples that were on display in the shop. Not a clue who had done them but they were lovely to look at.
A firm favourite was this by Sue
(sorry about the hand and camera)
Here we all are with our works of art stood outside in the sunshine

So that was it - the weekend was over, sadly. Time to pack up and go and make sure there were no last minute purchases you wanted in the shop. Luckily Lorraine and I were staying over one more night but our choice of eatery was not good and we wish afterwards we had walked out. Think if I hadn't paid £25 on entering for the two of us I would have thought about it. Here is Lorraine with her pudding though
and me trying to make her laugh
Next morning really was sad as we said goodbye or 'au revoir' to Tracy and Andy in readiness for Tracy to make her way to the airport. Well, Tracy looks sad but Andy looks delighted (only joking).
I'll leave you with a picture of the Dream Team - Sue and her helpers and then a picture of Sue with Bianca.
Whacked out - thank you all of you - you worked so darned hard to help the weekend go so smoothly - what a team.

BIG THANK YOU's to Sue - She is Amazing!
