Whole Opens and We Teach There

There is a new artist community center opening up in Athens, Whole Mind Body Art, and we are part of it!  We have planned definitely two workshops, one for faerie houses and one for felt items.  They are not happening until November but I got some great shots of the inside of the center where some of our items are on display.

 

I think they go really well with the art of the flowers that they are displayed with.

Welcome. The Green Griffin is live.

Okay. Here goes. Aline and I are jumping in with all four feet, intending to make a real and profitable business out of this. Follow along and help us out and don't forget to check out our etsy site.

For starters, I held my first altered sweater workshop about two weeks ago. It was lots of fun and very productive. Aline was in New York (it was spring break), so I had to go it alone.

Laura (who's due any day now) made these awesome baby pants from two sweater sleeves. Check out Leigh's purse. Of course, she's pretty talented. Just give her materials and watch her go. That's Leigh in the third pic. Cleta made a scarf for her granddaughter Evie (very cute and girlie). Beth made a square purse. Mary Jean made a ragamuffin from a design by crispina ffrench (full instructions in her book "Sweater Chop Shop"). Everyone made potholders. And everyone made a donation to Relay for Life.

Our next workshop will be Sunday, April 11, from 1-5 pm in Dacula, GA. Email us if you'd like more information.
