Now that was a Party!

Now that was a Party!

Thursday February 9, 2012

Last night’s online live webinar was truly amazing.

100’s and 100’s of people came online from around the world to join in and share a love of tools. I want to thank Patrik Kusek, Cynthia Tinapple, Wanaree Tanner andJill Erickson for showing us all some of the tools they love and how to use them. They’re the best. Also a big CRAFTCAST thanks to Aftosa.com, polymerclayexpress.com, metalclayartist.com and timlazure.com for the generous give-aways they provided. (Make sure and check out all those links) 


And to all of you who signed up for the one or more of the upcoming LIVE classes that were officially announced, I say thank you so much for your support and shared excitement about all the new classes.

When I was 10 and a girl scout, the first badge I worked on was the communication badge. The requirements were to make penpal friends around the world and share our love of making things. (I think I added in the part about sharing our love of making things.) I had friends in England and Australia and loved sending and then receiving those airmail letters filled with new information about things previously unknown. I flat out loved making those connections and sharing. So it’s no big surprise that CRAFTCAST was just waiting for technology to catch up, that sharing a passion of craft and creating could once again become a reality in my life.

Dreams and passions don’t die, they just expand. xo

Missed it .. :(

I am so disappointed that I had to miss the party last night. I'd been looking forward to it from the moment I first opened the email. I'm glad to hear though that you all enjoyed it, had fun and discovered new ideas. I hope someday there will be another class of this type (and not have something come up on my end again). Well, just wanted to say HI, and I'm really sorry to have missed the class. I will go check out the sites that are listed above though. ~ Pat

I found it so interesting to see the favorite tools of some of the most admired artists and also see their innovative use of easily found items.
It was the best!
