In a couple of weeks I'm off to Arizona for two weeks of classes and The Tucson Bead Show. My folks lived in Arizona for many years and it will be nice to warm up in January.
I'll be teaching one of my favorite classes Metal 101. This class literally shows you everything you need to know about metal.
What I find helpful is that I can show everyone the techniques and then watch how they do it and offer suggestions and tips.
I'm also teaching our Copper Metal frame with our new Ver-Day. Students will get to create their own unique design using our tools and molds on pure copper and then see how it transforms with this gorgeous patina.
We will also be using some of Leaky Shed's cool chipboard shapes. I designed these wings for the heart that is collaged with antique papers from an old book, add some copper and a cool glittery fluer de lis and you have a beautiful hanging piece for Valentine's Day.
I hope those of you who live in the area will check out the classes at your favorite store and come join us for "metalizing your world."
I will be at Paper and Metal Scrappers on Jan 25th, Frenzy Stamper on Jan 26th and Craft Fusion on Jan 27th. Please click on these links and join us.
We will also be exhibiting at The Tucson Bead Show from Jan 29th - Feb 6th at the Doubletree by Hilton Reid Park in downtown Tucson. We're working on some cool things that we're selling during this show just for jewelry. So, I hope to see a lot of our friends in Arizona during this trip.
We didn't show a video for this week. We're getting back into the groove after the holidays, doing inventory and all the other fun at the end of a year. We will have a new video next week so stay tooned.



It's wonderful that you are doing new videos again! I can't wait to see what you two have up your sleeves. Safe travels!
