New York inspiration

Kathryn and I were fortunate to be able to spend four days in 

New York being creative and making lots of art. 

 Being with good friends Karen and Jerri and 

drinking the compulsory afternoon "Venetian Spritzes"

made the time fly by, but in the end we

 all accomplished a great deal. 

 It was so nice to NOT have to leave home to go

 anywhere and just keep on working. We combined 

a little of our own technique to

 Alisa Burke's idea from C,P, S's for clutch purses. 

Making the vintage findings and tooled copper 

collages was so much fun.  

Here are a few close-up pics.

WARNING:  Making these may become addictive!
