"Single Spinner with Copper Teapot"
This(above)whirligig is one of the design options that everyone works from in the workshop (a single hub, 2 tier, with a topper). It's amazing how different all the gigs look in the end when everyone choses to attach different items. Below are two example of whirligigs created in a recent workshop. Pretty amazing if I do say so.
*These are 2 examples of whirligigs that were made by students in the workshop.

~ Paper Houses ~
~ Paper Houses ~
This is a fun project that turns your old books, magazines, maps, charts, or even
greeting cards into whimsical little paper houses that stand aprox. 3 inches tall. They then can be strung together as garland, hung as a mobile, or let's face it, by themselves they look sweet anywhere you place them. The only material you need to bring is your old paper to use. *It is necessary for the paper the be 9 inches wide by 7 inches high to fit our die cutter.
Age level: 12 and up

In 2 hours and with the most basic of tools and materials you can create amazing frames for your special photographs, prints, or artwork. What I love so much about this project is there are no limits to what you can do. Just bring your creativity and imagination. I supply the rest. I'm also here to help if you need creative assistance or ideas. You can bring an image with you and make a frame specifically for it or make a standard size frame opening. Scissors, a glue gun and repurposed cardboard are all supplied for you.
