I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this trip. I love Wisconsin–not alot of traffic, really green, rolling hills, and quiet. We met up with Kim and Julie, Kecia’s friends, and had the time of our lives at Nina’s workshop. I wasn’t real sure about this little jaunt–I’m more a paper artist–and didn’t really know what to take, because I had no idea what we were going to be doing.
The first day, we made charms with PMC. I approached it with fear and trepidation, because this one little bitty pack of clay cost $25, so I couldn’t screw it up. Plus, my daughter back home wanted all the skinny when I got back. So the pressure was really on! We learned several of Nina’s techniques. She was just a wonderful instructor–if you ever get a chance to take one of her workshops, do! And I loved listening to her accent!
Day 2, we put it all together–well, I did. Several of the others had already completed several pieces, which is fine. I am one of the more contemplative artists. Maybe I do think too much. But that’s the way I’m hard-wired.
Anyway, not really sure of what I was doing, but Wah-Lah. Here is my finished necklace!
Here’s a close-up:
Remember, I wasn’t sure about this from the beginning. But I was very happy with the ending. It surpassed my wildest dreams.

Thanks, Kim! That’s high praise coming from an artist of your caliber!
and you know i love your necklace! the cacoon beads are TOO- DIE- FOR!
Thanks, Kiki, you’re my biggest fan!
Well I must say, your photograph doesn’t do justice to this amazing necklace that you created. In person, and wrapped softly around your neck, was in inspiration to all of us.
