Putting up new walls and re-arranging things to allow for a new

retail supply area outside of the studio space.

I've also been busy making hundreds of fabric & rag ribbon flowers

for both the June Bride wedding windows next month.

One here at the studio and the other is the Main Street Vintage window.

There will be gowns, veils, bouquets, hats, bibles, candles, crystals

and many more magical pieces so make sure and stop by in June!

Some flowers in the works.

Have a great day!

MOMMA'S HOME!

And wait 'til you see what I've been up to!

After 5 days at Terri Brush's Art Camp and the Plucky Maidens Junkfest,

It's finally time to share a little:

Busy creating. That's the back of my camp sister's head (Debra Welsh).

Such a sweetheart!

Kristen Robinson teaching some resin pouring techniques.

Boxes from our cigar-box exchange.

"Wow", these girls are so clever and creative!

Terri Brush made this one, of course.

I made this one with vintage mermaids on all sides and inside the lid.

Now that I've seen everyone else's, I feel like I should have done more.

This one was from my camp sister (Debra Welsh).

It had a travel theme which is totally me and you should

have seen all the goodies inside. Assorted craft elements,

slipper socks, scarf, Queen coffee mug, and a flowering plant.

I felt so spoiled! Thanks again, sweet Deb!

Here's the table full of original jewelry made

by Ruth Rae and Kristen Robinson,

two of our three teachers at art camp.

Just a couple of the many pieces I created there.

Wish I had gotten more pictures but I was so busy making art

that I didn't want to stop to take photo's.

Or I was weighted to my chair from eating so much delicious

food Joy Bayer lovingly prepared for us.

Thanks Joy (Auntie's) and all the camp helpers, Ruth & Kristen

and a very special "Thank you" to Terri Brush

for putting on this wonderful event.

Love you all!

xoxo,

Christina Kuntz/Momma
