Our April meeting began our 6th year as a group. Starting this group was a goal for me when I moved from California to Ohio. I have enjoyed every year with all of the wonderful women I have met during that time and look forward to another year of friendship and fun.
We shared our animal mash-ups with each other and as always I am amazed by what everyone comes up with. We also talked about some future challenges for the next few months. As always with our challenges you can join in or not but be sure to see the reveals.
For May we are using a saying or quote as our inspiration. It doesn’t have to be a famous quote; you can even make up one of your own sayings.
For the month of June we are focusing our creativity on Endangered Species. Since the UN published it’s new report this week that there will be 1 Million endangered species due to man’s hand in the next few years it seem to be an important topic. We are trying to not do
the same ones so here is the list so far:
Sharon Markovic – Pangolin
Merran Phillips – Insects
Betty Deemer – Hawksbill Sea Turtle
Linda Mihalik – Sei Whale
Cindy Grammes – Clouded Leopard
Charlotte Mullen – Mary River Turtle
Janelle Reardon – Red Panda
Gisela Towner – Bornean Oranguta
Joanna Ellis – Panamanian Golden Frog
Shirley Purcell – Green Sea Turtle w/Coral
If you would like to participate email Cindy with your choice.
Before we share our endangered species in June we are going to have a “play time” for about an hour or so. We are going to do a Picasso Head. Bring a 10″ head with eyes fused onto the head. We will be cutting these heads in half and swapping them with someone else at the table to create our Picasso Heads. Bring a base fabric and other already fused fabrics to add to the heads. If you need inspiration check out Google or Pinterest under “kids Picasso Art”. It is time to allow your inner child loose and play.
Our July meeting will be our reveal of the “Quit while you’re a Head” challenge that we started in June.
