HCCC......

The Houston Center for Contemporary Crafts was where I spent the better part of Sat. with the ladies of TAODA, my " Cone Dolls " were submitted and accepted as an art project for children and adults to make!!! Even some of the staff of the museum and our group, joined in to made their own cones!!!
Some of the crafter's faces in the pictures below have been altered for the sake of privacy, but one of the women allowed me to photograph her and her creation. All these pic's are of the first group of people that came by.



Here are 3 of TAODA members Karen Jewelon the left, Annie Foley at the back, in white, and Janet Bodin our new President on the far right.



Everyone is concentrating on their creations!!!


Doesn't she have a wonderful smile, the leopard print looked pretty good, dontcha think,she said her mom was an artist too!!


Blessings,Flora

Hello Ladies!!! It's SOOOO VERY GOOD to hear from y'all!!!
Vivian, the heads are just stamped card stock circles, 3 of them.A scallop, a plain and a stamped image. All are then glued then embellished,on the "cone".
Sonia I thought that was the best part of it, people of all ages enjoying themselves, from grandies to grandmoms , even dads and grandads and lots of memories!!!
AWWWW Pattee!!!It just takes time sweetie... No Donna wasn't there, I'm sending you and an email.ok?
Thanks
