Paper Cowgirl Friday

I just wanted to share with you a bit of fun we are about to have..We really would like for you to join us...The Date is Saturday October 3rd. The Place: The Crafty Scrapper, Waxahachie, TX.

For this Fall Round up, we want a smaller atmosphere...slow the pace down a bit..but still learn some new techniques and meet some new folks, have a get away day and just plain have some fun.

Joanna Lewis...she's going to be teaching the Crown class. This gal, let me tell you..she's one heck of a crown maker..lol..She hosted the Crown Swap at the June Paper Cowgirl. It was amazing what she had for her swap partner..and the other gals swapping were awesome too..But Joanna had that special touch and that is the reason we asked her to be in the Round up.

Chantal Johnson, She's another lady with a special touch..she made us look twice while trying to choose teachers for June. Her handy work on fabric is amazing and we had to ask her to be here for the Round up, she is willing to share some awesome ideas and workmanship in the Fabric Cuff Class...

Sandra Feazel..this gal just oozes ideas..she's soo full of them..Love her style and her bees wax is such fun. She's taking a whole new spin on it..you'll be amazed at what she came up with for us. Cute and Classy is what I call this class. You'll love it!

One day, just a get-away with girlfriend and like minded gals..that's what we want this day to be. A reasonable price too boot..where else can you get 3 THREE classes at this low of a price? And lunch too??? Tell me~

This is what people are saying:

I have really loved participating in the first two Paper Cowgirl Retreats. The classes challenged me to try new techniques and to stretch my talents and skills into different directions. I have used tools and materials I would never have attempted if it had not been for the encouragement and patience of the artist-instructors. LaVerne

Paper Cowgirl??? For two years in a row Tina and Cindy (the head cowgirls) plan incredible classes, amazing projects, and find the most talented instructors. I loved having pretty supplies all set up ready to go, learning a new technique and being able to finish a project in one day. We're so fortunate to have an art retreat of this quality in the South. To top it all off Tina and Cindy make sure there's a little time for shopping and the yummiest lunches around then throw in some cupcakes.The only problem was that it was just once a year! Well they fixed that...there's a fabulous one day retreat coming up - wax paintings, wristlets and crowns OH MY! Can't wait. Nancy

My many thanks go out to you both and to all the other teachers involved in this past June’s Paper Cowgirl retreat in Waxahachie, Texas. I merely stumbled upon the PC site by a whim and I was delighted to find out about the retreat. I convinced my dear friend to join me in this adventure and I not only had a blast, but she did as well. The instructors were great and the class selections were awesome. It was so nice to meet so many artists in so many walks of life and just have a great time together….not to mention the cupcakes…that didn’t hurt the situation either!! The meet and greet night, the vendor’s night, and our special evening out antiquing in downtown Waxahachie were definitely icing on the cupcake. I’m definitely planning on attending next year’s event.Lisel

So Go to the BLOG and click on the cowgirl on the right hand side bar, she'll take you to the post of classes and the pay pal button..We still have a few spots open!

We'd love you to be a part of this tradition here in the Metroplex that we are starting! See you soon!!

Have a great weekend!

On the work table

Just wanted to remind you about Chunky Charm class at the Crafty Scrapper on August 11th. You will learn how to do a demisional object between glass..not this exact object, but similar..
You will have a thick shadow box look when you are done, we will make two in class. The second on will be a vintage button floating between the glass. Also that day, a beginning solder class is going on too..

This is my first attempt an idea..it's been swirling around in my head the last few days.

When I saw these glass tiles on the site where I purchase glass disks for the round charms, I knew I had to make square ones..This one has old leader paper as the background, a rub-on crown and those super small sticker letters, I'm soooo fond of. The back is completely soldered up too..

This is the second attempt:

I love the crown I added on the top..it hides the bail. They are big and chunky and would look great on a chunky necklace. I think they would look good on a thick leather cord too in a short almost choker style..you know, right at the base of your neck...I'm off to make more and hope to have them on Etsy soon.

I was thinking back, and I started soldering over 5 years ago! This has been one thing that I have kept on doing, you know how you jump around and learn new things, some you leave behind, some you continue on with..well this has been an on going learning process that I love dealing with! So much fun for me! I've also posted over 250 post under this blog name! Sheesh..never thought I be doing this either~ I've met some really cool people thru this and other blogs, flickr too..this has been a good connecting place for artists..I'm glad I found it.

Paper Cowgirl Fall sign ups are going on now, go check it out...We are playing on October 3rd.

Hope to see you soon!!!
