CHARMing Beads and Embellishments
Little metal charms are the key to making gorgeous beads and embellishments
from air-dry clays. You simply press the clay into a hollow charm, remove
it, and allow it to air-dry before painting and decorating it to your
heart's desire. Make pendants, brooches, and beautiful embellishments
for cards, art books, and collage artwork.

An Artful Journey:
Pyramid Atlantic's 6th Biannual
Book Arts Fair
As she entered the Corcoran Museum last November, Patty Harrison knew
she was in for a treat.... an artist's date with herself.... and a jump-start
to her creativity. She found all that––and much more––on
her recent trip. Creative, inspiring artist's books will open your mind
to a plethora of new ideas and techniques, challenging your notions
of what a book really is.

Magical Magnet
Cards
The artist's rubber
stamped holiday greeting cards contain a very special gift: "magical"
magnets that frame beautiful family portraits. This is a delightful way
to hand-stamp a special greeting while offering lovely a framed photo
in the same package. Follow Lea Everse's example as she creates these
one-of-a-kind cards for family and friends.
