Linda's Magic Workshop - Linda Britt Design

A friend called and wanted help organizing a holiday sale for about 10 artists (I’m included) and the group wanted to have a Christmas tree decorated with each artists’ handmade ornaments.   I thought, “Great, another project! But why not?”   Several days later my ornaments are ready with directions so you can make some too!   It was such fun and did not take much time!   They could   also be insets in boxes, gift tags, book covers and more.   A great stress reliever too! Materials:   cardboard, tin foil, 2” wide silver electrical tape, a blunt tool (could be a medium ball point pen), a punch, acrylic paint, paper towel, brush, water, latex gloves, silver thread  Materials Needed  1.          Select cardboard (from backs of notebooks, inserts from packing, lightweight cardboard boxes) or heavy cardstock will work.   Remember you have to be able to cut it but you don’t want it so flexible it bends too easily....

       I Share My Gratitude and thankfulness for:                 A loving family – All my life I have been loved and have loved My Two Brothers and Me Peter, who loves me, accepts me and allows me space to be me. High standards and high expectations Knowing if I did not meet those standards, I would still be loved. Learning that ‘good enough’ sometimes is ‘good enough’                  The understanding that I am responsible for my own happiness.                  Amazing friends who are fun, loving, compassionate and expect the same from me.                 The ability to explore my creativity.             ...

I was going for height instead of width in my display, a good thing because upon arrival to set up, there was very little room.   This was a new location for the sale and the room was smaller than expected.   Before the evening was over, everyone had a space …or two.   My tall cone tree was on a table acr...
