It is always a treat for us when Diane Fitzgerald and her class is here. Each day, she and all her students are adorned in a variety of necklaces, bracelets and earrings showcasing the most wonderful, creative beadwork.
Every day of class had a different focus with time afterwards to explore the possibilities. A pre-arranged exchange between students gave them all a chance to share some of their work with the rest of the “flock”.
Shrinky Dinks© made for lovely, ruffled flower necklaces, or you could adorn yourself with these crystal flowerets.
A definite theme prevailed during the week for the class, where the students are known as the “Flamingo Beaders”. Pink everywhere, ranging from a flamingo tablecloth, paper plates and napkins in the kitchen, to numerous mascots, to flamingo fabric bags and beaded flamingos, with a side project of flamingo t-shirt printing for everyone in class planned by one of the students.
Even Washington Island is wearing its August adornments (pink included)!
Hi to all Sievers people,
Still talking about our days with Stephanie Robertson. We learned more than we expected. The photography each time of the island is outstanding. Thank you for sharing your talents also.
That week of fabric printing and dyeing is a definite highlight for us, too. We enjoyed having you, Liz and Donna here and seeing all you did in class.
Always enjoy your photos and thoughts. Thanks for underscoring the little things that make each season so precious.
Thanks so much, Roberta!
