My heart is full
From this magical place
Where fairys dwell
Sacred
Ancient
This creative group was on a mission
And the saints (and sinners!) were there.....
She's the reason I came to this magical place. I have mad respect and sincere gratitude for this brazen soul. She gave and gave and gave and then gave some more. Her heart out on her sleeve, spilling into her hands creating and giving with deep and soulful presence. She gives the best hugs too! Sincere and intentional hugs......the kind that make you feel loved.
Her class filled quickly and here we are in all our glory, happy to be with this great teacher.
I learned how to drill through small stones, set tiny eyelets and make these incredible nests....
Resin in bezels, drilling into them and setting eyelets........
Nina knots, velvet, more nests...SO much fun....
cocoon beads....
Nina's sister, Ellen, makes these awesome egg beads. We were like a bunch of pirana's when Nina put them on the table..I love mine! I love the packaging too and am hesitant to take it out of it's nest. If you want one go here: starcatcher.etsy.com
As an added benefit, Cindy (the coordinator of this event) had a Soul Collage workshop for the attendees. This is what came about....pretty profound.
Sincere gratitude and thanks to Cindy. If it wasn't for her, none of this would have happened. Go here: Artful Journey to experience it for yourself....you will LOVE iT!!!!! Hurry, don't delay...classes fill quick!
that's all for now.....

Hey Robin, sounds like it was a wonderful experience for you, I'm so happy. Looks like you learned a ton from Nina. What a beautiful place that is. Take care, Riki
A magical place indeed. And some truly magical people. So lovely to meet you and share some of the amazing experience. You are so wise and inspiring! If it is OK I would like to take a leaf out of your book (and put it in my chunky funky coffee table book for safekeeping)
