I am trully looking forward to leaving Ohio for California this Wed. It's time for ZNE's annual Convenzione in Pleasanton, CA. I was lucky enough to go last year & take a class with the master of solder Sally Jean Alexander. She was Fabulous & I loved my "little pink house"

I met some super great artistic women! It will be wonderfl to see some again & meet others.



This year I'm lucky enough to go again & stay with the sweet Lyn "Glyterbug."



I will be taking 2 classes one with Iva Wilcox to make a "fairy Lamp" She is so mega talented, & I can't wait to see her again. This lamp is incredible in the picture I'm in awe!



Second I'm taking Lisa Kettell's "marionette theatre" class. Her stuff is right up my alley just ask my 12 yr old. When choosing classes he said "Mom that looks like something you'd make." Lisa is a super artist & blogger too & I'm looking forward to meeting her in person.



If you don't know about ZNE & do or like any form of altered art you should join at http://www.zneart.com/
It's a wonderful support system full of great friendship & inspiration.



So off I go & upon my return I will give you a full report along with pics!

Moo Cards

Are you on "Flickr?"

If not you should it's a super way to post photos & meet like minded people. If you haven't checked it out peek at mine http://www.flickr.com/photos/jillzwhimzy.

I have been on for awhile now & post almost all of my creations there.

I'm also in many groups. I've participated in some super swaps as well & interacted with so many Fabulous artists.

Moo cards are something you can create on Flickr & for a reasonable fee have them professionally printed in England! You choose your photo, type, etc. Mine were made from pics of several of my pieces. You have total control. They are super for mini business cards. The colors PoP! I also tuck them in my swaps & have traded with other artists.

How crazy fun is that?

So what are you waiting for get your "Moo" today

Also I'm still looking for some fun people to participate in the Random Acts of Kindness giveaway!

See my last post for details. Special thanks to Lisa & Jody for joining in - You gals Rock!

Little Mermaid

Hello my pretty little mermaids. These photos are of my version of the story "Little Mermaid" created for the Vintage Ephemera Group's "Once Upon A Fairytale Swap."

My oh so sweet partner noted that this was a favorite story of hers well how could I resist. You know I have a fondness for creating mermaids. Julie took these photos & posted them on Flickr.

So my little mermaid is appropriatly living with Julie aka: Cupcake DD now in sunny California close to the water no doubt!

I'll have to post the pics she out did herself sending me a oh so darling "Thumbelina" wait till you see her, plus other goodies. Thanks Julie!

Mermaid dreams your way I'm off to bed.......
