The Delightful Jenny C

I had the absolute pleasure of attending a couple of classes with Jenny Crossley. She's an amazing more or less self-taught artist. Her blog is amazing - wander on over and check it out sometime. Gail kindly opened her home to us - thank you Gail!!

The first thing we made was a house pendant, like the ones Jenny made for Paperific this year. I still can't believe she made more than one of these to give away! **Happy Dance** Now I know how to make a wire nest! It's so easy (when you know how!).



The second thing we made was this junk bracelet:
I couldn't believe all the stuff that Jenny puts onto one of these masterpieces!


The last thing I did was some soldering. I was so excited to finally have a go at this. It's a bit rough (and the photo is even rougher!), but this little piece holds so much value for me. It's something I've been wanting to do for a long time, and to be taught to do it by a talent such as Jenny, well I was stoked. I will be doing more pieces like this in the near future (well, maybe after Christmas when I get a soldering iron). Sally Jean Alexander - look out!!

    Brad keeps telling me he will teach me to solder...I might just have to take him up on his offer after seeing what you have done..
