Gift yourself with a few hours each week to spend in contemplative artmaking, making a collage for each of the seven energy centers, or chakras, in your body.  On the last night, we'll explore different ways of integrating and using the images.  This class will be at my home studio on Portland, OR's east side.  Read more about it on my website.

Make a marvelous, personal gift for yourself or someone else!  We'll start by making guardian collages, and then scan and print those images onto durable plastic . . . finally beading them and turning them into glowing night lights!  You'll take home the digital files, too, so you can make more using your home printer!  All materials included.  At Scarlet Star Studios in SE Portland.  For more information, visit my site at eyesaflame.com.  To register, go right to the registration page on Teachstreet.com!

Every month, I try to offer a free DEMO on the blog for your crafty inspiration - and I just put up a new one on Glass Etching!  And yup, this is a great Holiday Gift Making Craft!  Whether you're looking to decorate wine glasses as an alternative to wine charms, add a little something extra to your slide glass pendants, or make some very cool glass ornaments, this demo will give you all the basic info you need to etch glass.

The last few years, encaustic painting has become my passion.   It's a testy medium, wax, and so I'm delighted to offer one-on-one instruction to help you get comfortable with this marvelous art form.  Come to my home studio, see my work, and use my materials and tools to learn the basics and explore the techniques that most interest you.
