And another how-to from IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® using coffee filters!

"I had so much fun working with Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko Inks and coffee filters. I created lots of coffee filter dragonflies. You can see a tutorial here. You can use these coffee filter shapes in a variety of ways and create lots of color combinations for a special project using Memento dye ink. This ink is fast drying and fade resistant and comes in 24 wonderfully fresh colors.

I used one of the extra dragonflies to create this cute charm. It’s quick and simple!"

In John Petersen's June 29 Beaded Bezel class, you will make a two-sided pendant using Shimmer Sheetz!, StazOn ink and beautiful beads. Be sure to sign up for this class . . . we don't offer bead classes but every once in a great while. When we saw John's pendant last year, we insisted that he schedule a class at Art 'n Soul  and teach us how to make this stunning pendant.

It's late. We had a lot of fun working on the Magenta Mixed Media Boards at this afternoon's play time. We even gained a couple more converts . . . Deb K., and two customers -- Sue and Carol. Marj made a gorgeous set of 3 small boards to hang up and Susie brought in some early stamps from Stampscapes (Kevin Nakagawa) that were so cool. I'll try and post those pictures tomorrow . . .

I'll end with these heartwarming photos  . . . woof! Nothing artsy but hopefully makes you smile and feel a tug on your heart . . . something we all need on a regular basis!
