Projects from An Enchanted Affaire

My friend, Lesa Daily, makes the cutest birds!  Her class at Enchanted was something I'd been anxiously awaiting, and it was every bit as wonderful as I'd known it would be.

Don't her little birdies just peep with personality?  These are some from her vendor night table.  I fell hard for that first one, it's a beauty.

Lesa's kits were cute as a bug too.  The rose is a brooch made from coffee filters and I've enjoyed wearing it on my white denim jacket for a pop of spring color.

Her class was a birdy crown, but I made mine in two pieces. I wanted the crown to be out at the holidays, but the blue bird was to be year round. 

There he is on my shoulder.  Isn't there a song about that?? Zippity Do Dah Zippity Yay… somehow that is not quite right.  But I'll be humming it all day anyway.

I could get hooked on making these lil guys.

Mine is foofed up with lots of tulle that I'd brought along.  And a wreath of flowers on it's neck.

My pal, Natalie had a fun class too. Her pendant was one of my inspirations for the Birdsong necklace we will be making.  Hers is the one in the instructions, mine is the one lying on top.

And here is how I'm doing our Birdsong piece.

And oh my, this was a fun class too!  Julie Nutting
  had us painting a background then crafting a paper doll from strips of torn paper. I used my own wallpaper and changed it up a bit by adding a mirror behind our Snow White.

Mine lost some of the whimsical charm of the original when I painted a face on her.  But I still like it.  And had a blast during the class. All three classes were delightful! (that is my new favorite word, Sugarwings and I have been using it nonstop).

 

Carol Spinski was the photographer for the event and she provided us with hundreds of free photos to download!  I snagged a few of my faves and will share a few with here.

The rest of these photos are all done by Carol.
