Yep, the first scrap book-the Red Lead way-we ever made...Baby Ava and Elise were transferred onto the butterfly with a brand new pen we just got in for our Transfers and Altered Images Workshop...works great on lots of different surfaces.  She is a real doll, isn't she?  Lots more scrapping in the future for us and Baby Ava...sure wish I could find some cute dog paper out there for Ace, Champ, and Jewel...would love to record their escapades!  We are working away on the Altered Book Workshop hope to have some photos to show you in a day or 2...make some time this week just for you...spa. haircut. lunch out. afternoon movie. you deserve it!  Hope to see you at the store-don't forget we moved to Historic Webster Groves-we are at 27 North Gore Ave-new summer store hours-Wed. thru Sunday 10a.m.-5p.m. Take care...xo Chris and Sharon

You are looking at a bit of the transfer artwork from the Altered Transfer Workshop yesterday.  The sun lit up the studio, friendships were made.  The art work speaks for itself-A Beautiful Sunday-xo Chris and Sharon

Baby Avagonna scrap the Red Lead way!

      

We have been in the studio most late afternoons making Altered Books, Seashell Tags, Christmas everything, and getting ready to get that Halloween thang going on.  Chris loves Christmas, Halloween-not so much.  We will see how she feels about Halloween after Ava has her first Halloween all costumed up as a tiny fairy princess wings and all! I think she might have a change of heart.  Talk to you later, off to play today with the girls in the studio for the Transfer Workshop...check out what we are making right here...as always thanks for everything...we couldn't do it without you!  xo Chris and Sharon

Techniques galore in this Technique Tag class.  You will learn how to use Claudine's gesso and Tim's inks to colorize and distress your well worn tags. You will rubber stamp with our new Sea Shell Collage rubber stamps and collage these stamped papers onto the colorized tags.  All tags will be dipped in a bit of beeswax and embellished with sea shell charms.  Fun!  Join us for a morning of creativity in the Red Lead Studio.  We have been told our studio is like sitting around the dining table with old friends talking and making art...love that!  xo Chris and Sharon

Christmas in JulyW O R K S H O P S@Red Lead

    

A little bit of what's been going on at Red Lead.  Monday was our catch-up-everything-at-our-house-day.  Cleaning and cooking-watched a little tv too-took our dogs to the park for a long walk...felt great to be home doing girl stuff! Yesterday was our first day at the new Red Lead Studio at the store.  Started off digging through boxes in the basement looking for our workshop tools so we could get started on our Christmas in July Workshops.  What a wonderful day we had making and creating.  Take a peek right here at one of the workshops.  Thanks to all of you for coming to our new store the past few days...we couldn't do it without you!  xo Chris and Sharon
