ZNE Convenzione Day Four! Post 5
Hello welcome to Day 4 of Convenzione, today we start off with the first day of the vendor faire/arts and paperie at the fairgrounds, not to mention receiving another AMAZING LATTE from Miss Lana, that woman is amazing and I now consider her a wonderful friend, I miss Lana....Here is a photo of Lana and Me!
Here I am at the booth!This is one of my altered sandwich box displays, I finished it that weekend and gave to Ann-Denise Anderson, my buddy!I also finished the pink display box and gave that one to Mica Garabino, and I kept one to bring home. That's the magic of recycling, you can turn normally thrown out items into works of art or fun.
Most of the vendors/atists arrived early to set up, of course I always arrive later then I want, LOL!, I shared a table spot with my mom, who had more goodies to sell then me, I had lost 12 dollies in the flight, but don't worry they have been mended and are now standing perfectly in the studio.
Here is my buddy Colleen Moody at her booth, this woman is incredible, and super sweet!Notice her Marie Antoinette doll, which can be seen in the premier edition of Marie Antoinette Publication from Stampington and Company!Here are some of my mom's aka Aurora-tique's jewelry, she is truly wonderful that mom of mine, LOL!In this picture are some of my faves: Jill aka Jillz Whimsy, Jenny aka Polka Dot Pixie, Moi and Carmen aka Gypsy Froggie!Me and Miss Claire Bone aka Glitter and Grunge, Awesome!Me and The Great Anna Corba, Can I just say how sweet she is,AMAZING!The Great Colleen and ME!My Buddy Teresa and Me, I was so happy to finally meet her, I took part in the Red Project with her, visit my link on the left to learn more about it.
I just love Heidi aka Birds of a Feather, she was my fellow East Coaster at the event!Here is Kathryn Virello and Me! She is a doll!Me and the snazzy jazzie gals: Yvonne Montero and Jazzie Patti!The incredible Ingrid Pomeroy and Jill! Ingrid surprised me on Sunday with a gift of amazing postcards, I have a surprise going her way next week!Love these girls Mica and Shari, we had a blast! Both are so talented!
Here is where the photos get funnier, Yvonne and her sister Jen gave us all these faux lip blowers to wear and take photos with, too, funny!Here I am in the picture w/snazzy Yvonne now!LOL, here is my buddy Julee and me, how funny is this, we were just cracking up, Julee is amazing!
There were so many fabulous vendors and familiar faces at the show and coming to the show to buy artful delights and see their artist friends, from 11am-1pm we had a book signing for both days, my schedule date was Sunday, along with my friends: Jill Badowski and Traci Bautista! Katie Jean was on hand signing her work as well, all these ladies are AMAZING!The whole day was filled with surprises amond each other, My mom and I would take turns watching the booth and shopping at other booths. LOL! I'd walk over and gather goodies, and put my business card on it and say could you hold this for me, LOL! and I was walking around with single dollar bills and glitter all over me, LOL! My money always has a sparkle to it from the glitter, LOL!

I have 2 more post to go staring with day 5, tomm. Once the Zne posts are complete I will be sharing new art, stories and adventures, while visiting all your blogs.

The Doll Marionette Theatre Assemblage!

Sit back and envision a vintage world of dolls, magic and mystery, a place where dolls come to life with a sprinkle or two of magic, just like Pinnochio did, but remember to be honest like him or you could become a marionette working in the traveling puppet theatre, performing every night for ever. Come embark on an adventure with me into a world of magic, carnivals, theatres and dolls in my workshop entitled: The Doll Marionette Theatre Assemblage!
The student will construct a shadow box theatre from scratch, which will be layered with vintage images, one color silhouettes, vellum, clay figures and a doll marionette.

This is the class I taught last year at Tinsel Trading, in NYC, now I will be able to teach it in California! So Exciting!

Description:
"In a land far far away where blue birds and sparrows can be heard singing sweet melodies as they fly by, a land where boats don't need water to sail, just a sprinkle of pixie dust on their sails and away they go, sailing gracefully through the sky, over storybook places such as Mother Goose Corner, Wonderland and Mermaid Cove where Peter and his bandits from Neverland can be seen playing mischievious pranks on Captain Kidd and his men.

Come set sail with Lisa Kettell on the Fairytale Boat of Dreams in her workshop entitled: The Fairytale Follies Box Assemblage!

The student will construct a boat form on a box complete with storybook sails, characters and loads of magical glitter. Learn basic clay techniques, image layering, paper design and 3-d assemblage techniques.
