Coronado Dreaming

The time went by way to quickly....

Art Retreat by the Beach 

is now a sweet, sweet memory packed away 

in this itty bitty brain of mine.
I had loads of fun with two of my fellow teachers and dear buddies,
Riki Schumacher & JoAnnA Pierotti.

I knew this one would be special.

But, they all are.
Think this one just a little more though =)

On Friday I taught one of my favorite cuff classes,

On a Wing.

(side note:  I'm teaching this class at Art Unraveled,

and it's filling up fast =) 

Here's my Friday buds.

Sally, Mary, Jan
Dawn, Joan, Marilyn, =) and Crystal

Saturday was another great class day,
as I taught 

By the Sea,  
which is one of my gilding with solder classes.
I love teaching this technique, and have to tell you I never tire of it! 

What a special group of ladies on Saturday....
Marilyn, Joan, Ann
Sally, Celelesie, =) and Celeste
Here's a few of their creations.

I love the amazing attachments they brought along to place on their collars.

*****
Sunday I taught one of my torch fired enameling classes that I call
Framed.

I love teaching this class.  

But, the tiny mother of pearl belt buckles are becoming more & more difficult to find, even though I think I might have one more batch =)

*wink*

 Here's a couple of student's pendants.

Aren't they just the best, and so full of personality?

Oh, don't want to forget....

we also went on a group field trip that Saturday to The Attic, 

a sweet antique shop on the island...

all planned by our lovely hostesses

Barb & Erin.

What a great group of ladies!

BTW....I have just finished a second enameling class,

and 

it will premiere at  

Art Retreat at The Prairie,

in Round Top, Texas...this Fall.

Barb is about to open up registration any day now....

Hope to see you there,

or at my next teaching gig, 

which is next month...

Art Unraveled,

in Phoenix, Arizona!
