Safe Passage

Do you love to create fun crafts as keepsakes and thoughtful gifts over the holiday season?

In tis workshop I will show you my acrylic techniques, and how we can create our own dreamcatcher with nature findings.

 

I really enjoy creating story art, especially on wood – I feel it connects us to nature in a special way while we create.

The winter holiday season is one of my favorite times of the year. But this project can also be done in the summer with beach findings, or in the autumn with fallen leaves and and dried flowers… There is really no limit to what we can create!

This fun project can even be enjoyed together with your kids or grandkids – just as my boys often enjoy creating them with me. It will make a thoughtful gift for a loved one, or simply a special ornament for all to enjoy.
