Winter weather ...

A little snow and ice couldn't freeze the creativity at the Ocean City Art League.

Deb worked her magic teaching students techniques that made

their canvases come alive with layers of color and personal messages.

The end result? One-of-a-kind pieces of art that will serve as inspiration and a sweet reminder of a fun day!

And the winner is...

Congratulations Joy,

winner of the ShaDeeLa "Embrace Your Art" Basket and envy of all!

Have fun creating.

For keeps

Saturday's workshop focused on making personal boxes for all those special treasures.

Beads made by a young child... a mother's costume jewelry... special verses...

These special tokens, combined with painting, decoupage and embossing turned a simple kraft box into a beautiful box with heartfelt memories...inside and out.

Love is in the air...

ShaDeeLa Artist's and Bishop's Stock Gallery was the perfect combination for creating handmade Valentine Cards.

Wine

and chocolate tasting,

paired with watercolors, color pencils, glitter and glue.

End result? Happy smiles and one-of-a-kind cards.

Messages.....

There is nothing better than having a daily reminder of life's important messages to keep you grounded and centered in this crazy world. That is exactly what student's walked away with after completing the Message In a Bottle workshop held at Queen's Ink. Deb provided instructions to transform a blank canvas into a beautiful piece of art work. Students used painting techniques to layer color and create depth, as well as decoupage techniques to add special messages and wisdom cards. At the end of day, everyone had a beautiful piece of artwork that showcased their creative talent and personal insight.
