Art 'n Soul is so very fortunate to have Marj Marion as a featured instructor. At her latest class, Artful Weaving, held last Tuesday, Marj shared her enthusiasm for the Wicker and Weaver dies from Cheery Lynn Designs. The following cards are either the class cards we made in class or extra designs she brought in to show additional examples of artful weaving.

Susie brought in these two beautiful cards she had made using the artful weaving technique taught by Marj. She used ribbon in the first card, and washi paper in the second card. Enjoy!

| by Els for Elizabeth Craft Designs "Used one of Tim's new retro embossing folder for this pendant. Do I like it? LOVE it! It's one of the Gemstone Shimmer Sheetz colors, alcohol ink, emboss and sand it with a sanding block. Gemstone colors have a silver core so it really looks like metal. One of the ladies in class this morning was the first one to use this new folder and I had to make one as well, could not wait!" |

Tea Box
"Hi, I'm here to show you how to make this tea box with your own little hands.
It's a nice gift to make for someone or even yourself.
You'll need:
- A Rigid Cardstock (like a cereal box if you cover it with papers) or stronger paper if you plan to use mixed media techniques, a cardstorck that can support paint will be necessary (craft or artist stores)
- Masking tape / glue tape or double face tape
- Scrapbooking papers or paint / inks for finishing
- Decorations
1) Cut the pieces
- Top : 11.5cm x 11.5cm
- Bottom : 7cm x 7 cm
- Box : 15cm x 29.7cm
2) Fold and cut follow this plan
3) Assemble the box and top with double sided tape.
4) Glue the Bottom wit glue tape or masking tape.
5) Decorate and/or paint to your taste.
