Refash for Sista Lazzita’s birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUSCIOUS LAZZY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

Thanks so much lazzita for sharing your special day with us. The food was delish, (once we got around to eating), the champagne was bubbling and so were our creative juices. We worked on 2 group projects which was really a first. Well, we did do a book for Siggita but that was more individual pieces put together.

We worked on a gift for Lazz…a branch all decorated and full of wonderful creatures. The branch itself was donated by Kezzita from her dear departed garden before the overhaul.

Judita worked very hard on the technical side of the birthday branch we were creating for Lazz. She was winding gorgeous colored thread over the branch and attaching all the items that had been created to adorn it. Bellita spun a web in it which will home Judita sexy spider. Did she end up wearing a dress??

I was felting leaves for the branch and was invited by Lovely Lazzita to felt her boring old rug. I tested this idea out by felting a small leaf in the corner. We might just see how it goes down with the hubbie before I start on a large mandala in the middle. There was even talk of felting Mentoni.

I thought it was wonderful to hear the discussions around color combos and technique.

Kezzita snuck in a tutorial with our resident sculptor Julietta and their butterflies were divine..(and not scary at all Julietta). We’re looking forward to seeing Kezzita produce many more of them….many, many more I’m sure. She’ll need to stock up on one of our favourite products..the old PVA.

Foe group project #2 Lazzita invited us all to make a clay piece representing ourselves and what we bring to the group. She intends to string these together somehow and hang it in her home until the next sisterly birthday where it shall be passed on. How divine!!!!

I just had my birthday… Bugger!

So we created and chatted till late..way past our bedtimes I’m sure. Bellita served some very special tea just before midnight. It was most popular with the herbal tea crew. It smelt great and looked very organic but sadly mine was not consumed. Sorry Bell I’m still working on that herbal tea thing..I really want to be a herbal tea drinker so don’t give up on me yet.

So the sistas were all in attendance and it was  lovely to share ideas and work together...

how many sleeps till soujourn?

Here's the quick mock-up of what the hobgoblin / owl creature might look like after he has been mosaiced. What fun we had! Now I must get back to some sweet little mice.. I have had my fix of WEIRD for the week. Will give you the details Bellita. It's a shame you weren't with us if this is your thing. Not sure how that happened. x x

I'm back

So the sistas haven't been blogging for awhile. Life seems to be getting in the way. But we will never stop trying.
We've still been meeting although a little more spasmodically but I think we have all experienced the nasty effects of not committing to the group and will make a concerted effort to make it happen.
Can't report all that's happened but in brief our dear sister siggita has departed the group and indeed the country. We are completing a book for her now in which all the sistas have contributed a page. We hope she will get a branch of refash sistas going OS. Lets take this thing global.
We are still finalising talks re; new members, well 2 new members that we desperately love and want to have join us. Initiation rites and ceremony details shall be discussed this week.
Sojourn is coming up and there have been mutterings around guided imagery and special sessions. bring it on!!!
OUr next gathering will be Lazzita's birthday so yet again another themed refash..hooray. I wonder what she'll get for her birthday?? hmm??
Kezita, Judita and myself Sassita attended a sculpture workshop yesterday..thus the scratches all up my arms and utter exhaustion. It wasn't relaxing at all but it was inspiring and very productive now we must start mosaicing. I think our sculptures represented the people we are too in very interesting ways.
Here are a few snaps

till next time (that will be soon i swear)
