Make Bugs with Sally Jean ~ New Online Workshop!

DeadBugHeaderArt_Main800_New_Crop3



I first taught DEAD BUG SOCIETY in San Diego and the crowd went wild!  Even though each student got the same instruction, the Bugs were sooo different!  And fun! And irresistible!  And I can't tell you what fun *I've* had making them!  I'll let you in on a little secret...the possibilities are endless!

Now that I'm addicted to my little Bug Collection...I want you to be too!  So *just for you*... my newest Online Video Workshop is DEAD BUG SOCIETY.    This is a Progressive Workshop were each week you will learn a new technique for a new Bug...TEN Bugs in all!  Create along with me as we go...or wait and make all your Bugs at once.  Perhaps you want a Butterfly, Moth, and Hornet?  Or half a dozen Bumble Bees?  Yes. You. Can.   ~   Yes. We. Will.

Of course these Bugs are not just a pretty face...they can be made into Pendants or Brooches! And when you are not adorned with them...keep them in a fabulous Specimen Box which we will also make.

It's a Little Bit Chilly...


There was a snowflake or two last week....the first (and, maybe, only of the season).  I woke up every hour during the night, when I should have been sleeping, just to check and see if it was accumulating.  One of my best memories is being a little girl growning up in New Hampshire.  At the very moment of the first snowfall of the season, my father would celebrate it with me, often waking me during the night, so we could have cookies and milk and watch the snow fall from the sky.  I had hoped to do this with little Enzo last week.  It never materialized into much at all, so I didn't wake him.  Yet, still, at 7am he was up and dressed and looking for mittens to go make "something" out of the "barely-noticeable" dusting of the snow.  He did.


I've looked at the forecast for this week.  No snow.  Shucks.  And there SHOULD be...as the forecast calls for  18 degrees!  I know...a heat wave for some of you...but chilly for me.  To celebrate the snow, or just the chill...
