the big heap

Hi there!

Writing tutorials this time took a little longer than I expected.  There's a lot of information in this series.
Not only will you see learn how to make each project, there will also be tips, hints and ideas along the way to spark your creativity!
The supply lists seem long but you probably have just about everything you need and if not, make sure you read the directions before you go out to purchase - that's where the hints and tips may help out.

Everything is just about ready to go.  I want to proof read one more time.  And, there will be a limited number of kits available for each project, too.  All you need will be adhesives, inks, mister bottles, gesso and some common tools.

Yesterday we went to a new event in Tucson - The Big Heap!  It was held on the grounds of Old Tucson, the movie studio of all the old (and a few new) Western movies.  If you have ever seen a John Wayne western, you've seen Old Tucson.
The event was a juried affair of junk, vintage collections, arts/crafts and more.  Let's just say we had a great time checking out all the stuff........

just a small idea of what it was like.  I left with one small sterling silver chalice purchased at the booth in the top picture.  Ideas are starting......

Jeff's favorite was the booth in the last picture, lamp shades made from comics, maps and more.

keep an eye out here for the Bella Rouge Tutorials coming soon!

thanks for stopping by,
