Guess what arrived today?  The new rubber!  I am packing with wild energy – so fun to see the new images, love sealing up the envelopes, and checking off the pre-order list.  Thank you for your patience dear customers.  Packages will depart first thing in the morning.

The current Somerset Studio issue is January/February 2012.  My column, Make It Your Own, is about altering items we find in a craft store becuase we can, and because we feel like being creative.  The supply lists and brief project descriptions were omitted so I am posting here.

If you look at the magazine it appears the red egg nest is larger or the same size as the turquoise egg nest but actually it is way way smaller.  Looks super cool next to my crows and ravens that are set out at Halloween.

The next crusade was going to be posted today but I'm busy packing rubber so I will get it up tomorrow.

    OMG! I missed this post (well.. all posts, because I’m in an audit and really out of the loop) but I got my rubber sheet and was even more blown away by the intricacy of the real thing than I was with the pictures! I’m looking forward to using them everywhere. (in fact, our walls could use this kind of treatment) And I just got the magazine, and turned right to your pages. I’ll be reading them tonight.
    Congrats on your new classes! I know they’re going to blow people away and become another Ward institution, just like Valley Ridge and the Crusades, among other things. Rock on!

    Congratulations on building up your teaching venues. I know your classes will be enjoyed by all! I went to the bookstore just to see your spread… and the little bird’s nests are making my heart sing… must be why bird’s are so melodious. Wish I had time to play this month on Street Team… I’ll look forward to the day when I’m flying off somewhere to take a class from you!
