my second workshop consisted of playing with caulking, cutting a stamp and painting techniques.
here's Tyler of BabyLux very skillfully wielding a caulking gun.
she better not let her husband see this or she may have a new job!
Leigh of Curly Girl looking full of concentration.
Shelly of A Wee Bit Warped and her cheery piece. i'm bummed my pic here doesn't represent how detailed and darling her lightning bug stamp turned out.
sisters, Jennifer and Karen. beautiful colors! everyone did such a good job. i was so impressed.
again, my photography skills are not doing Lori's piece justice. sorry Lori! :(
Melissa of Art Tart Talks and her vibrant creation.
Diane's creation just makes me smile!
Tyler's piece. robot themed for her son. i wish you could see the detail, it was very well done.
last but not least, Leigh with the perfect quote for Artfest.
"who could resist this lush adventure"!
this finishes off my teaching. i'm thrilled i pushed through my fears and did this. it has been an amazing experience, one that my fear and insecurities could have easily kept me from.
tomorrow i'll share the workshop i took and other fun-ness.
Way to go Michelle!! I am sure they all adored you.

LOVED taking your class! You did such an awesome job teaching, and I'm spreading the word! Tyler can take the west coast, and I'll work on the midwest. :) Already looking forward to next year's Artfest and hoping that you're teaching again! -Shelly

Woohoo! Kudos to you for conquering your fears! Looks like a fun class. I wish we had teaching resources like these in our area. They all seem to be west coast oriented...Hmmmph!
