My Rendition of Starry Night!  silver spiral, silver star that moves and star beside a moonstone.  Wire weaving on the edges.   I've been going to Art Unraveled ( http://www.artunraveled.com/ARTU14/AUindex.htm ) for many years and always learn something new.  This year my good friend Judi and I roomed together and attended the same classes. ‘Fun, Affordable and Classy: Composite Laminate Earrings’ taught by April Bower ( http://www.downthestreetartgallery.com/april.htm ) was the first class we took.  In the 3 hour evening class we learned to saw laminate resin – most of us call it Formica!  We were to design earrings using laminate and accenting with wire or beads or metal.  The trick was to cut 2 of each shape the same!  Not such an easy task.  So here are some of the examples and products from the class.
