Buckhead Ridge Crafters: Growing Creatively

We are growing in size and creativity! February brought us the second evening group on Tuesday, February 9th. Those who can't attend our Wednesday gatherings had a good time finally having a chance to join us. Before I bring you up to date on this night and the next day let me tell some exciting feedback I received on Monday, February 15th. Members from the Stuart Moose Lodge reported that at a Moose District meeting held on Sunday in Ft. Pierce that people were talking about our group! They said there was alot of buzz and interest with people looking forward to seeing some of our things at the benefit being held February 28th at the Okeechobee Moose Lodge. In six weeks we have captured the interest of people outside of Buckhead Ridge. Way to go crafters, I love that we can create inspiration ..... pass it on.....

Sandoone learned how to crochet (a scrubby) from Maureen

Cathy began working on her first counted cross stitch entitled "Thumbs Up". THUMBS UP to Cathy.............looking good

Nellie used a caning technique with polymer clay and a toaster oven (first time we ever tried this oven). The "mistake" of overbaking resulted in these beautiful pieces.... now we are looking for a creative way to use them. She taught some people how to crochet seed bead bracelets too, but I missed getting a picture. So Sorry

Maureen handpainted this lovely purse which she made. Her first attempt at freehand fabric painting. Great job - many more beautiful ones to come I'm sure.

Dorothy who has been painting for years demonstrated some techniques to those interested. See her leprechaun mailbox cover below.

New friends joined us on Wednesday.....then had so much fun that they went back and told their friends. I was invited to meet some of them Wednesday evening and look forward to having them join us this week. One gentleman who does wire wrap jewelry is going to join us as well as another gentleman who is an artisit with drawings and paintings.

The following pictures are of projects in process, and finished samples provided by various members of the group. Everyone is willing to share and teach any of these items if you want to know how to make them.
