April Newsletter

OK, we are STILL getting used to the new point of sale system, and ARE getting much better at everything.

I still don't have a sign out by the side of the road, but I hope to have it soon!!!  I am planning something special for our SIXTH anniversary in June, so stay tuned.  And sorry that this newsletter is late.  I'm still working on getting the website going.  It works, but I don't think the check out works.  We are working on that too!!!  

And the reason why it's late?  Well, I decided to go to Tucson for the Gem show.  I drove with friends.  We are shopping for PEARLS and for interesting natural stones and more fun gemstones, opals, moonstone and um, a whole lot more.  Well,  no telling what I'll come back with.  I'll try to post pictures on Facebook.....

April 17th, 2021 at 1pm - Ruthie teaching Resin Pendants!  

Make a beautiful resin pendant for yourself or a friend!  This class is a beginning class and costs $40. This includes a bottle of Lisa Pavelka UV resin. Class lasts 2.5 hours and you will be able to finish one pendant in class.  You can bring in locks of hair, small pictures to resin if you want.  Or you can use some items that we have to make a pendant from.  You can purchase bezels or pendant trays in the shop.


                                        

April 24th, 2021 at 10am or 1pm- Susan teaching Pebeo Washer Pendants!- I keep getting requests for this class, so I guess that I'll keep teaching it.  It makes a big mess, but it really is a lot of fun watching what your painted washers turn into!  I don't think that I've seen an ugly one yet!!  You will finish anywhere from 10-20 washers during the class, but you have to return to pick up your artwork on Wednesday or later since they take at least 3 days to dry.  You can bring items (FLAT items) to paint if you want to do something other than washers, but nothing too terribly large.  I've done a 7" tall wooden letter from Michael's before (smooth surface, not plywood type roughness) and it did look pretty good, but I can't guarantee anything other than the washers in class.  Resining on top of paint can be done at a later date and arranged whenever you want with me.   This class is offered in a morning and afternoon session since class size is limited.
