Tin Lizzies...I mean Ladies!

Arriving at The Center, it was a beautiful day yesterday.

The woods were lush green with wildflowers scattered throughout. What an inspirational backdrop!

The workshop. A day to make "tin ladies". Mary's idea and here are some of her samples.

After giving us some helpful instructions, we're on our way.

The beginning of mine. I love to save "clothing tags" and so thought they would serve as a good and decorative body part.

Here is Mary, busy with her giant pile of supplies.

She has three ladies here on the assembly line, waiting to be finished.

Nancy, deep in thought.

And here is her beautiful little Miss.

And Marge, deciding on just the right touch.

Love those legs!

MaryAnn and Joyce enjoying the process.

And here are MaryAnn's, ready for the fashion show.



And Joyce's, joining the parade. So prim and pretty!


Sandy and Harriet busy with their tools.

And here they are! Sandy's wonderful little assembleges.

And Harriet's very fancy lady!

What a lively day at the Center. Mary is so creative, thought she was an altered books gal. Those Tin Lizzies are each so unique. I could see them as earrings or pins or sitting on my studio table keeping me company! Sounds like a great artist play day with good supportive art buddies.

I love the Tin Lizzies, what beauties were created! They look so good, they have such individual characters.... they're just waiting for a story to be written about them!
