The October meetings are special times as we celebrate our anniversary. This month we celebrated 38 wonderful years together. The Phoebes started as a doll making club, and over the years we have grown into a sisterhood that has supported and inspired each other as we created original art and experimented with multiple art forms and media. We have displayed our creations at numerous art exhibits both in the Bay Area and elsewhere around the world. And, quite a few of us have had our art published in magazines and books. Here's to many more years of creativity!
Calendar
The November 8th Phoebe meeting will be at Marcella's.
The drop-in social and lunch will be from 11:30 A.M. to 1:30 P.M. Please bring your own lunch or maybe something to share.
Daisy will be leading the enrichment session and showing us how to create Mandala stones. Bring a pencil with a round eraser to decorate them with dots of paint.
Betts' challenge for November is to think of a "trick" you would like to share with us. Maybe a clever use of a media or tool, a shortcut technique--or something else.
Show and Tell
This month's Show and Tell once again included a multitude of different Phoebe art projects.
Bonnie's bead and button tags.
Caroline's tags include a Halloween cat.
Colleen brought many different items, like this fabric handbag.
And melted glass orbs.
A small quilt of many beautiful colors.
And a melted glass block with sculptured shapes.
Geri displayed just a few of her many pins. These are ones for Halloween.
And these have a Christmas theme.
Daisy assembled this colorful abstract collage.
And she brought her fabric cat that is wearing sunglasses.
One Phoebe finished the front of her folded book by adding flags.
This definitely looks like two of Bonnie's wall hanger flat dolls.
And then Colleen displayed this beautifully colored quilt she has completed.
Jennifer brought a spider tag for Halloween, and several more with messages, like "Walk Your Own Path."
These tags were made by Sally.
And she assembled these to create a booklet.
Here are several of Caroline's tags you've already seen, and some you haven't.
These tags were made by Sue for members of her family, and they will be used for special occasions.
Here are two of the animal themed tags Suzanne R made. They are her favorite subjects.
Suzanne D sent us this photo of a quilt she recently completed. We miss you Suzanne, and we hope you can join us again soon.
Donna is busy decorating some of the blank tags she has collected over the years and using many of them to put on the fronts of greeting cards.
