June Meeting Highlights

Very nice turnout! We had a lovely and lively group :-)
Tejae Floyde and Kaye Wilson gave us a terrific primer on taking photos of our work. They helped me figure out a couple of my own recent problems! I hope everyone feels a little more comfortable with their skills :-) I want Kaye to be my photographer with the HUMONGOUS wonderful camera she brought - WOW! We had a chance to practice some with our great advisors there with us
I (Peg M) did a quick demo of different bracelet styles in preparation for our SWAP - and we have 8 people signed up - Louise F, Lynn T, Shane, Cathie G, Karen F, Sue M, Kaye, and Peg M. SWAP is closed for sign up - we will trade at the meeting in August. I also showed a quick technique for making tube beads and how to tie off a stretch cord bracelet. I totally forgot that I was going to show how to roll that tube on a texture sheet to make a whole different kind of tube bead. But give that a try - comes out great... and when baked you can use acrylic paint to bring out the texture effect by "antiquing" it.

August will find us in our new location - not too far away... a little east on Colorado AV near the curve that scoops you on to Pikes Peak AV. We will be doing our SWAP and perhaps a Pot Luck
Thank you Darlene Clark for stepping up to be our new librarian. Darlene dove right in and learned the system. Anne Morris will continue as treasurer, tho she will be unable to attend during the summer because she is now the proud owner of a Phatt Hatties BBG business and will be at the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo and all manner of events making great food :-)
Speaking of the Library, be sure to buy a library card if you do not already have one. We have a wonderful array of books, magazines, videos and DVDs available. It's a great way to decide if you want to buy a book for your own library or just take in the ideas you see while borrowed.
Have a wonderful June!
