November 2009 Meeting - the non-food events

Terrific, enjoyable SERS this month.

Cathy's creative juices have been flowing, and she's been etching metal - oh wow! She showed off some of her etched items - they are wonderful to see in real life. We urged her to set up a workshop. Now that would be fun!












This was one she thought was a bit of a dud. Nice though. Her African stamps look so good etched.



















How's this one? A crackle stamp, etched. Looks amazing! This is the crackle from My Stamps.














And how about this one? This stamp came from Thread Studio over in WA (I've been there, it's amazing!).

So seeing some metal etchings was a highlight.

Now look back at the photo of Cathy. She sure is making a spectacle of herself! Look closer, and you'll see what I mean!









Anne tucked into a slice of cake... and also made lovely Christmas cards.















Jenny and Helen working with the little stamp pads - what a good way to get a big range of colours!











Chris and Sharon worked on perfecting the art of fusing a stamped tissue paper image onto a candle. Very successful!


















And Margaret, Pat, Margaret and Nan made gorgeous things as usual!


I was playing with punches (again), but this time with bright colours. They really cheer you up!
