Wild and CRAZY night at Book Club!

Tonight I went to my new monthly art club group called 'Creating Outside the Book'. A crazy wild time was had by all tonight as you will see from some of these photos.

.....Laughing like CRAZY!

We are all modeling our retro flashback t-shirt attire.

Elena, the leader of our group, told us all to bring in an old t-shirt for a surprise make-n-take. Well, we learned how to make string out of a t-shirt! Very cool!

Now you can see where all our crazy head bands and outfits came from.

She provided us all with a HUGE crochet hook in our kits to take home and encouraged us all to make something with our newly made yarn. It will be cool to see if anyone makes anything for next month.

Here is Kat having some flashbacks of the good 'ol days.

As always, we also went around the room and everyone shared what they are currently working on. I shared my new mermaid piece that was made from last month's kit.

Here are a couple other projects made from the same kit by others in the group.

Above was made by the talented Tricia and the talented Kathren made the one below. It is incredible how different all of them are.

Alma showed off this beautiful paper doll girl she made; inspired by Julie Nutting's work.
Elena completed this amazing background (above right) for her next canvas piece. So much texture. Beautiful.

Tricia showed us a VERY COOL way to store our magnets which are due next month. I think I might have to steel this idea. :-) Metal squares she found at Michael's for $1 and then she put it all together.



Cynthia displayed the starting pages of her fantastic new art journal.

She said she actually ripped out some of the pages she did not like from our play date on 3/16 that I showed off earlier. Good thing I got photos then. hee hee. :-) But, these are so amazing!

All I can say is WOW!

And finally, we all left as happy little campers with our new kits to take home. It came with one photo colored canvas to be altered, large crochet needle for our yarn and a bag full of goodies.

Here is what was in my kit. Star shaped punchinello, decorative tape, Crazy Tackz and green ribbon for St. Patty's Day.
