MARCH 4 MEETING CANCELLED due to weather again!

*********************************************

February 17 Noni Designs Workshop

Four members attended a Noni Designs workshop on finishing our "Two Flavors" bags. We chose different colors and different embellishments to complete our projects and learned tricks and tips to make a unique bag. Nora had us think about and then explain our "good, better, best" options to take our projects to new and exciting levels of completion. All in all a great day spent inside out of the snow and ice.

Lee, Karen and Teresa with the bags before the finishing.

The first step was adding the metal opening and beading around it. Here're some of the bags to that point.

Some of us were able to get at least one of the two bags to an almost finished point with embellishments: red has sparkle rivets; blue has seed beads and black has Cabuchon rivets.
