Members Present: Lynda, Karen, Michele, & Brenda
Karen gave a demonstration on the beaded tins and beaded beads. Photos of the demonstration can be found on our blogspot.
Lynda showed us a beautiful wool weaving that she had made and asked for some suggestions on how to display it.
Michele showed some of her newest snow-dyed fabric. There were beautiful colors in a wide array of hues. She also brought in some of the things that she had purchased or received as gifts including:
Confetti Naturescapes by Noriko Endo
Inspired to Quilt by Melanie Testa
Zentanlge Basics by Suzanne McNeill (If you don’t know what Zentangle is, Google it. It is the ultimate form of Doodling!)
Totally Tangled by Sandy Stern Bartholomew
She also brought in some luscious Neocolor Water soluble Pencils and Kimberly watercolor Pencils. Lots of eye candy.
Karen asked about Photoshop Elements and whether anyone had experience working on it. Lynda really didn’t care for it. Michelle suggested that Gimp or Paint.net were excellent substitutes.
