Art Party

I love decorating for parties.
The theme was an "Art Party", so I made paper splatter paint splotches all over the walls and decorated
the room full of colurs and supplies.
Hung brushes from the windows to add a fun new touch.

And lots of balloons and streamers of course.

It was a perfect painting party and all the kids had fun.

Bike Tube Jewellery

A great way to recycle.
I have been using bike tubes for many things over the years.
Jewellery has been quite popular in the crafting circuit.
I made these as an example for some students to show how quick it is to do.

Crafts for me

I've been loving the art of crocheting, and I'm starting to get the hang of it pretty decent.
I got a 25mm hook and i'm so excited.

And then my really love, quilting.
This is a new heart quilt that i am making to donate to YANA auction.
Loving working with these colours.

Squeezing in Some Me Time for Art

I love trying new things.
Cutting canvass has been a great new craft that I can see so many  exciting potentials with.

I had a moment to prep a canvass in hopes to one day soon get a picture I've been dreaming of down.

These hanging books keep popping up everywhere so of course I had to try one!!

And here is a finished canvass, nit my favourite but done for now.

Haida Gwaii Classes

Colourful Morning Crafts

Using lots of colour on these gloomy days sure helps perk up the mood.

We tried some Sharpie Tie Dying.

Paper dying.

Rolling and squeezing.
Lots of fun with little hands and paint.

Reckless Painting- Kids Class

A group of pre-teens doing some Reckless Painting .

They really got into it and i think it was great for them to let loose and have some fun.

At this age most tell me that they are not creative.

This proves to them that indeed they are!!

And that it is FUN!!

I'm in Macleans Magazine, feeling so excited and giddy!!

This is an article written in Macleans Magazine that came out of friday in digital and will be in print available on Tuesday.

I feel so excited and really happy.

I can't believe it really.

National Magazine writing about little ol' me.

Since I have started the Restless Raven Art Lab I have had so many positive experiences and such a huge amount of support for what I am doing.

I feel the flow so to speak. 

This is just an extension of me and it works so well in our day to day life.

I get calls all the time about doing one thing or another.

I am happily extremely busy.

I feel blessed.

Thank you to all who love and support me to make this possible.

Bug Party

I hosted a Bug themed party the other day.
It was so cool.

We created and drew our own bugs and named them.

Fred was a person favorite of mine.

 We made woodland bugs from nature collected treasures.

 

Then they were painted and glittered up.

                                            Don't ever be fooled, glitter isn't just for girls.

 We traced, cut out and decorated dragonflies.

 Had a really good look at an array of bugs I had collected throughout the summer for just such a theme.

 There was a bench filled with crafting supplies so everyone could create an insect.

 Some even flew.

 We made creepy bug eyed spider finger puppets.

 And spoon beetles.

The came the snacks.

 And the cupcakes!!

 Then the gifts.

It was such a pleasure doing this party.
One main thing I love about this business is all the amazing people I get to meet.
