Class

Last week I spent the afternoon at a home for troubled girls. It is a home for girls that have either been in trouble with the law or problems at home . I was asked to share some crafts with them as it was their spring break and it would help break up the long days for those that were there .

I decided to make some magnets and necklaces. Something that young girls can use ! I started with bottle caps and glass marbles , they could make these into either a magnet or necklace , using an image and other finds and sealing it with Diamond Glaze. Also had the dominoes and wood scrabble pieces that we also put various images and colors on and topping off with the diamond glaze again for a finished look to their art projects. Photos are of some of my examples I had brought along. They all seemed to enjoy the afternoon of creating and was just as much fun for me to share with them !
