Hey there friends I hope you are enjoying my favorite time of the year... Summer. AAhh Summer. So Cal had a heat wave for a few days and wow it was hot. I was super happy to have to work on those days because my office has excellent air conditioning.
At the store we are excited about our call to artists for the "Cirque De Bizarre". Reminder that any submissions must be received by August 22nd. The show is October 2nd. For details about art submissions are on the website: www.zinnia.biz
Basically, we want a show to showcase artwork inspired by the circus however not the cute happy happy joy joy side of the circus. I know I will have to dig deep to come up with my submission for this show that is sure to be dark and twisted.

One of our favorite Zinnia friends B.J. took one of Paul's Decoupage classes and was inspired to keep going. She said she found this cool candlestick thing at a thrift store (I think that she said thrift store) and added her touch. The picture of the top view did not photograph well so we are left to our imaginations. I really like her choice of color and how she was thoughtful when positioning her images just right. Yeah, another crafter unleashed.

If you take a class with anyone of us and get inspired to keep going, please make sure to share you creations. I would really like to feature you in our blog.
