Art Opera Slice Teaser!

Hello All,

Another fabulous teaser for you! Making Memories is sending A slice machine/goodies for Art Opera, that's right a Slice machine, that incredible cutting companion!

Before going to CHA I was familiar with the slice, but leaving there I became in love with it. The creating possibilities are endless, where ever your imagination can take you!

We will have a Slice station set up at the Vendor Soiree at Art Opera. This part of the event will be held for two days at St. Anthony's Hall near the Train Station in Red Bank, NJ. We will have demo's using the Slice and free Make/Takes using Making Memories items and other fun treats.

Visit the artoperanj.com website by Friday to learn more about the vendor faire admission tickets and promo codes you can bring to the door for discounts.

Here are some photo's of the Slice and Me!

Art Opera: Free Circus Cart Make/Take!

Hello All,
Another Make/Take added to the rolster at Art Opera. This one is a circus cart/shadow box make and take hosted by me! This will be a free make/take and limited to 20 students.
To sign up contact me through email or leave a comment on this post.

Date and times will be announced soon!

This project was inspired from a project in my book: "Altered Art Circus" called Circus Carts. This is a new version using clay techniques and a vintage meets magical color palette with pastels and piano papers.

Learn basic box assembling, light doll making, assemblage, altered art and clay techniques. Each student will receive a pre-assembled kit w/pre-made box, doll, and papers. The make/take will last between 1 hour and 1 1/2 hours. If you need to leave earlier, you can finish your box at home.

More info in the Art Opera Yahoo Group!
Have a Magical Saturday,
Lisa!
