Playing With Fire . . .

Have you ever wanted to play with fire, and not only be allowed to, but be encouraged to?  Not as in setting buildings on fire like an arsonist, but playing with fire in a creative way and making something truly beautiful?  That was what was going on in the CraftFusion Workshop last Saturday, August 2nd, as Carol Rose shared her magic and secrets in creating with soldering and metal etching.  Everyone who attended the Workshop had the opportunity to create two stunning metal cuff bracelets, while learning how to attach bling and metal decorations with soldering and flame.  When finished, each bracelet was unique and absolutely gorgeous!

(from left to right):  Carol Rose; Heidi Brunelle; Randi Partain; Suzanne Dennis; Jerilynn Olson; Noelle Kostraba; Phyllis Korogodsky; Robin Fowler; Vickie Overman

And as an added bonus, Carol brought in desserts and treats for everyone from Sweet-Stops of Phoenix to enjoy.  


If you weren't able to make it last Saturday, you'll definitely want to make your plans now to join Carol in her next Workshop scheduled for Saturday, October 4th.  Watch for more details as they become available, but we can tell you it'll be another great time and project . . . you definitely won't be disappointed!  You'll want to call early to save your spot, though, because with limited seating, seats fill quickly and you won't want to miss a minute of the fun!
