We all need a wee bit of subtle glamour nestled within the bounty of our treasure boxes, treasures embedded in faux mercury glass are just the thing. Gorgeous layers of luscious silver surround an embedded object in each of the four pieces we will be creating in class. The piece then sits upon delicate filigree that enhances the depth of the centerpiece while embedded rhinestones surround the unique pendant.

~ House Full of Grace ~ $100
Wooden houses are transformed from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Sacred hearts created from paper clay act as the centerpiece to these delightful narratives. Students will create three houses composed of layers of paint, shading, wax, resin, text, found objects and buttons. One house will have a scared heart as the centerpiece while the other two will be created from molds of objects students bring with them to class. Each house will truly be an individual narrative.

~ Romancing the Quilt ~$125
Quilting is perhaps one of the most amazing arts. Kristen has kicked things up a bit with this wonderful mixed media quilt that is composed of fabric, paper, thread, paint and embellishments. What starts as three separate segments comes together to create a visual masterpiece, one in which your words and feelings bound from. By layering different textures and colors, adding a wee bit of free motion stitching as well as hand embroidery your piece is sure to not only pop but to tell a story.
