Amanda will be making her interactive people as in the picture for one of the workshops.

Thanks to all those who came along to the workshop yesterday, it was a small and select group... he he
Special mention to Amanda and our surprise guest Thelma for running a session each, appreciated.

The start of a few pictures from the day, Amanda did perform a magic trick before she started her workshop.

I did do a basic session first thing before Amanda's workshop. These designs were made back in September that
Amanda brought along and to explain before we popped them and did our own two designs.

Amanda did chat about framing and wrapping as well and what she found the best for making the stands etc.

Then it was time to get into groups and have a play with the designs and ideas.

Groups working away on their designs.

There was a discussion on the colour for the centre of Santa's belt....
It went on and on and was funny, should it be Gold, Silver or Black...
The decisions that have to be made when making a balloon design.
