Funny Bunnies Workshop

TRACI HUTTON led a light-hearted and beautifully organized workshop for DAFA on Feb. 9, coaching a class of nine participants through the construction of unique “Funny Bunnies.” Participants could choose from Traci's wonderful assortment of felts and accent fabrics and a mind-boggling collection of buttons and trims. These photos, courtesy of Denise Spillane, will give you just a taste of the fun.

The Funny Bunnies were as individual as their makers. In the second frame, Traci Hutton assists Joyce Van Dermark at the sewing machine.

Mixed Media Mania

A BIG THANK YOU to the four DAFA members who led us in a wonderful Mixed Media Mania round robin on Jan. 28. Because of Alisa Banks, Olga Brock, Sherrie Tootle, and Angie Vangalis, we all know a lot more about fabric transfers, aluminum can art, paper constructions and Zentangles. Participants went home with plenty of handmade treasures and new ideas. Thanks, too, to Chuck Baber, who organized this evening of hands-on fun for all!
