Stop by for a visit to check out these & all of the fantastic

mini works of art in our "ATC Gallery"!

If you'd like to join in the fun, join us next month on Thursday, November 12th, when the themes will be "Happiness Is . . .", "Brothers & Sisters", "Zingers From Grandma", and "Cook's Choice ~ Use of Fabric or Related".  Pick just 1, or mix-and-match from 2, 3, or all 4 categories, but start “thinking big in a small way" and we'll see you then at this fun NO COST workshop. From experienced to novice . . . you’ll definitely want to see what it’s all about for yourself!   It couldn't be any more simple . . . create 15 ATCs using the monthly themes (keeping 1 for yourself & bringing 14 to the Swap) . . . all the same or each one different . . . then come and share with others in a true artistic atmosphere. Or just stop in and see what's going on with other artists, ask questions, share information, have fun, and become inspired!

Remember to save the date . . .
the second Thursday of each month from 6:00pm to 8:00pm . . .
we'll look forward to seeing you there!
    

And be sure to watch for our recent "Challenge" results coming soon!  We know you'll agree that the outcome is always amazing!  What's a "Challenge" you ask?  It's the perfect chance to show off your artistic skills, simple as that!  Each is voluntary and the "rules" are really very easy ~  anyone in the group can suggest a Challenge and everyone who takes part creates 1 Challenge Item for "Show & Tell" using everyday mixed media materials . . . embellishments, paints, papers, stencils, whatever strikes your fancy! . . . then shares their finished art piece with the group.  What could be easier . . . or more fun?

Upcoming Month's Themes -

   December 10th ~ "Nighmare Before Christmas", "I Saw Santa Kissing

     Mommy", "Scenes of Winter", or "Cook's Choice - Anything Goes!"

Watch for New Themes for 2016 to be announced next month!
