I didn't really spend a lot of time with the large collage this past week. Have been working outside on that project....the garden!!! Smiles!!
Here is where I am with the large collage...
Craft day, however, has been more productive. Every Tuesday, my BFF and her mom, Louise, decided we would get together and work on pieces for the upcoming art/craft show in November. So besides being tons of fun, we are actually getting some work done.
Louise, by the way, is 98 years young!!!
Cheri is working on a belt buckle in copper and brass. Louise is working on making necklaces and I am working on small, 12" x 12", collages.
Louise and her pieces...

She ended up making two necklaces but I didn't get pics of those. She finished after I left. Doesn't she look fantastic. For those who think that 60 is old....HA!!! She encourages all of us!!
