More Awesome Alcohol Ink - A fundraiser for The Cure!

This is an image I borrowed from my friend, Janice Brown, our president at Ajax Creative Arts.

Hello my friends!  Sorry for such a long lapse, but a lot has been going on.  There have been art shows, demos, preparing for exhibits and shows, workshops AND another alcohol ink workshop with a twist!  This time it was organized as a fundraiser for the "CIBC Run for The Cure".

Once again, the class was taught by my friend Margaret Brackley who was approached by her friend Veronica, who is a glass artist, about possibly doing a fundraiser.  Margaret kindly agreed and our club, Ajax Creative Arts donated the facility and their portion of the workshop proceeds.  Everything was organized by Margaret and Veronica.  Many thanks to Veronica's team, as well!

What a fantastic response!  We had 21 ladies in the class, which is all we could accommodate, and a waiting list in case any spots became available!  Thank you so much to everyone who participated to make this such a success.  It was truly a WIN / WIN for everyone.  It was a fun evening, as it always is.  Everyone went home with beautiful works of art that some of these ladies didn't realize that they could create, and a successful fundraiser as well! 

Now, without further adieu, I will share the photos of the alcohol ink awesomeness!  Enjoy!

We fit 21 ladies, plus Margaret and a few helpers in here!  A full house for a great cause!

So vibrant!

I am always amazed (although I really should be prepared by now, lol) how beautiful all the pendants turn out.  The photos never really do them justice.

Curious?  You would be amazed what you can do with ink and an air can!

Tea time!

This is Margaret's display of her work for inspiration.  I thought I would show some of her new works, as well.  I am loving the winter scenes!

 Beautiful Northern Lights!

 And some awesome little pieces of art to adorn your fridge!

Once again, Thank you so much to everyone who made this evening such a success.  A wonderful group of ladies, and not all of them were from our group, so it was so nice to meet some new friends as well.

And thank you so much for taking the time to visit.  I hope you enjoyed this new post and are maybe inspired to give alcohol inks a try, or pull them out if you are already and alcohol ink lover!  Have a fantastic and artful day!

A Craft HAUL from SGD and a few more surprises from the dollar store!

Hello my friends!  I received a package in the mail today!  Don't you just love getting packages in the mail? A little early Christmas present to my self that I thought I would share with you!  This box of goodies came from Scrappin' Great Deals, and I have to admit, it was wrapped up much nicer than it looks here when I received it.  I had already dove into it before I thought to make a haul post.  But just barely.  (Notice the yummy Werthers!)

Look at these new Christmas dies that I am eager to put to good use!  I also got some of the new Ranger Enamel Accents!

 I got a die for a stamp set that I already had, MFT "Make yourself at Home".  This will be a fun scene-making set.  I also got a new Lawn Fawn stamp "Sprinkled with Joy", which will also be a fun scene-builder.  The matching die is on back order and I can't wait to receive it! 

This is the stamp set "Make yourself at Home" that I had previously bought.

 A couple of fun stencils, some sunshine and some falling snow.

 Then, later today I was at Dollarama and found a few goodies.  I found this stamp set from Inkadinkado for just #3.  Just to give you a perspective, the bottom stamp is 6" x 6".  The top layer of stamps is actually a set of 6 stamps, so I thought that was a pretty good find. I like the images  a lot.

some more K & Company embellishments

 Some close-ups.  A nice vintage feel to these.

 And finally, some Prismacolor erasers.

Well, I hope you enjoyed my little haul and you can look forward to seeing some of these items in use soon.  I already have some ideas brewing...
Thanks so much for stopping by, have an amazing day!
