Adorn Me! 2011

Wowwwwzaaaa!
The website is up and ready!
"Etched and Layered"
One of the classes I will be teaching on Wednesday, March 2nd,
at Adorn Me! 2011.  
I love designing these cuffs, and the more I design,
the more I love them.
If you saw the article in the latest issue of Belle Armoire, and you've wanted to learn more about etching and cold join attachments, you will love this class. 
Details on it can be found here.
"Etched and Layered"
I will share my technique of attaching vintage rhinestones, and layers of brass to your etched cuff.  
Layers upon layers of beautiful texture.
*****
Then, on Thursday, March 3rd!
"Rhinestones and Rosaries"
In this class I will demonstrate ways of attaching
vintage ear bobs or clips to a gorgeous brass filigree focal piece.
But, the main focus will be incorporating a vintage rosary.
Often I will meet someone who has been given either their grandmother's, mother's or even an aunt's rosary.  This is a way to design it into a wearable piece of art, instead of having it sit in a dresser drawer.
The rosary doesn't have to be vintage,
but I do plan on having some vintage ones available prior to the class.
The brass focal piece found here is from
Brass Bouquet's connector collection.
 I love the postcard my friend,
Susie designed for this line of jewelry.


 Next, I will teach a 3-hour evening class
on Saturday, March 5th.
 "Romancing the Cuff"
The sky's the limit, as we will use layers and layers of
luscious vintage lace, ribbon, tulle,
or maybe even stamped fabric.
I will let the pictures speak for themselves.
For more details on the class, go here.
 And, of course, Friday, March 4th will be Vendor Night from 7-10 pm.
An event you won't want to miss.

WHY, Oh Why...don't I live in TEXAS????
I want to take these classes, I want to learn these techniques!
To tell you the truth, I have falling in love with Jewelry Design & want to become a master, all though that will probably never happen. But to take a few classes may be just what I need to get started on my new path. lol
Thanks friend for adding your postcard to your post, you are always looking out for me! :)
Big Hugs & Huge Success for Adorn Me 2011...maybe, just maybe I can figure out a way to come. {I'll start saving my penny's today}
Smiles,
Susie

Congrats Diane on your fabulous line up of classes your second time around at Adorn Me! What beautiful pieces and techniques you'll be teaching too! Hmm...wonder if there's any way in the world I could leave the 4 (5) boys at home and come to TX??!! I'd sure love to join you! And I just love the new postcard that Susie created...she's already a master with her beautiful vintage style marketing materials.

I have sent my money in for Adorn Me 2011, and signed up for for your 2 daytime classes. Now I shall haunt the mail hoping I don't hear that they are already filled. I so wanted to take classes with you last year....I wrote you then.... but had eye surgery and could not. But all is well and I am ready! Do you have other classes here in Texas I perhaps could take before then? I live in Kerrville, and have car, will travel. I am going to Marburger Farm in September, and will come by the tent and perhaps be lucky to acquire one of your "jewels".I can hardly wait....and perhaps you will be there, also! Thanks, Rita
