Get your Goodie Bags here!

Here are some scenes from the Great Goodie Bag packing party!  If you’ve registered, we have you down for one.  (We have “full bags” for the first 50 registrants and 10 more that have most of the goodies…)

Countdown to Polydelphia! 2007

Next week is POLYDELPHIA! 2007.
We spent last weekend stuffing goodie bags and looking through things for the Silent Auction.  I was struck by this incredible offering by Tony Aquino.  He has used the holographic techniques he’s developed to commemorate our retreat.  What an honor. 
This year we are running the Silent Auction in a raffle format.  [...]

News from our Prez…

We met today to prepare things for Polydelphia! 2007.  Here’s Sue’s report.  More from me tomorrow.
WooHoo! Polydelphia ‘07!!! I did get to Terri’s really late and the Goodie Bag Packers were already finished so I can’t take any credit but, Baby, you are in for a treat!  
Thank you Terri for all your work and endless rounding up [...]

Polydelphia! 2007 Silent Auctioneer Request

And more from Terri:
While I’m here, I might as well make the plug for the silent auction at  Polydelphia! 2007.  We’ve received many generous donations from all over the country of tools, books, and finished pieces, but I’m also looking for donations from YOU, if you can.  While it is nice to have pieces from [...]

Terri’s Report on Jana’s Class

After our intensive class with Jana on Saturday, we woke up to a yucky morning, anxious to get back to work.  On Saturday, we built our large kaleidescope canes.  The first thing we learned on Sunday was how to reduce these big honkin’ canes (roughly 3″ triangles that were 2″ long)–by smacking them onto the [...]

April Meeting, report delay

Sorry for the continued delay.  My husband is healing up, but not quite ready to fly solo.  I will be getting my camera and some pics back this weekend, so I can get the show and tell up soon.
BUT, if anyone has pictures or a report, please email me at webmaster@papcg.org and I’ll get some [...]

April Meeting & Jana’s class

I couldn’t attend this weekend as my husband had surgery on Friday.  I have been hearing only good things about the action packed weekend with a Master Class AND Guest Artist appearance by the incomparable Jana Roberts Benzon.
Things started out a little rough on Saturday when we learned the Union required our usual meeting room.  [...]

Kaleidoscopes in the air…

I am looking forward to Jana Roberts Benzon coming to town this week.  She’ll be staying with my friend Terri, and giving a Master Class on her beautiful kaleidoscopic Arabesque Canes to our Guild on Saturday.  Lucky for us her visit coincided with our regular meeting so she could join us as a Guest Artist at the [...]

So much you can do with Ultralight

 
In my case:  win valuable prizes!
I brought this Mardi Gras mask for Show And Tell at our March Meeting.  I had made it to enter a mask decorating contest at work, and I won a CD Alarm clock for my trouble.  Nice.
As Val pointed out to us, the UL has a nice matte finish that takes [...]

You Ultralight up my life…..

I didn’t realize it had been so long since I blogged.  I did get my taxes done, so perhaps that’s why the past four days are a blur….  Now I can get back to something that’s a little more entertaining.
A discussion of our March Meeting wouldn’t be complete without a word about Polyform’s Ultralight clay.  [...]
