…AND ONE OF MANY SINCE I BECAME A DESIGNER MEMBER OF CHA! …JOIN THE CHA BLOG HOP!
Picture
I AM NOT AS FAMILIAR AS I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I AM WITH THE INTERNET AND BLOGGING.  LIKE MANY OF THE FIRST’S BEFORE THIS ONE, I TOOK A CHANCE, RISKED MAKING A FOOL OF MYSELF AND CAME OUT LOOKING OK, IF NOT BETTER. I HOPE TO BE DOING THE SAME IN THIS SITUATION.  AS THEY SAY “THERE IS NOTHING TO LOOSE, IF YOU DID NOT HAVE IT ALREADY!”

MANY THANKS GO TO LISA FULMER, THE ORGANIZER OF THE BLOG HOP. THANK YOU LISA FOR HOLDING MY HAND ALONG THE WAY AND ANSWERING THE MANY QUESTIONS I HAD.  I HOPE TO MAKE YOU PROUD!
MANY OF MY  PROFESSIONAL FIRST’S IN MY ARTS CAREER HAS BEEN WITH CHA. I HAVE GROWN EXPONENTIALLY, IN MY CONFIDENCE AS AN ARTIST AND IN WHAT I HAVE TO SHARE TO THE WORLD. AS A MEMBER I HAVE GAINED INTERNATIONAL EXPOSURE.  AND…INTRODUCTIONS TO THE “RIGHT CONTACTS.” 
 
IF YOU DO NOT KNOW ALREADY WHAT CHA IS ALL ABOUT GO TO THEIR WEBSITE: CRAFT AND HOBBY. ORG  BASICALLY IN MY LANGUAGE: CHA IS AN ORGANIZATION WHERE I AM ABLE TO MEET AND ASSOCIATE WITH ALL THE ENTITIES INTERESTED IN THE CRAFT AND HOBBY INDUSTRY.  EVERYONE! OTHER CREATIVE PROFESSIONAL DESIGNER’S, MANUFACTURES OF THE PRODUCTS I USE DAILY, PUBLISHERS WHO WANT TO KNOW WHAT I AM CREATING AND WISH TO PAY ME TO CREATE MORE. PLUS RETAIL AND CYBERSPACE  SHOP OWNERS AND THE BEST PLATFORM FOR ME TO SHARE MY TECHNIQUES THROUGH OFFERING WORKSHOPS TO THE CHA MEMBERS. 
​
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

$600+ VISA GIFT CARD

3RD WORKSHOP IN OIL PASTEL SMUDGE  TO BE HELD AT THE CHA 75TH ANNIVERSARY CONFERENCE IN ANAHEIM, CA. I WILL BE SHARING HOW I WORKED THROUGH THE  DESIGN PROCESS AND CREATED SOME “OH SO CUTE, MINI PURSES FROM A BLANK ZIPPERED CANVAS POUCH, THE SAME ONE YOU WILL RECEIVE IN CLASS FROM CANVAS CORP BRANDS.  I AM NOT A SEWER, I’M A “SMUDGER!”  I WORK WITHIN MY LIMITS AND FIND WAYS AROUND THINGS THAT WORK FOR ME TO GET THE END RESULT I AM LOOKING FOR.  I AM NOT SHARING ALL OF IT! I WISH TO LEAVE SOMETHING TO YOUR IMAGINATION AND  FOR THE PARTICIPANTS OF THE WORKSHOP!

Oh my goodness that smudged purse is CUTE!
Carol, I have NO blog, am NOT overly familiar with following these "big" hops and am so afraid have done something wrong along the way that I won't even qualify??? I have spent hours this week reading EVERY single post by ALL of the CHA participants and NOW I am wondering??? LOL BUT, nothing ventured, nothing gained. I must admit, I enjoyed it all. I will NEVER get to go to CHA but it doesn't mean I don't enjoy living vicariously through others. HAHA
Either way, I enjoyed the ride and I am certainly happy for you and hope you do fabulously there!
My must have tool every day is my Tonic paper trimmer. Without that I couldn't paper craft!

Hi, Carol. Wow, what a designer/artist you are! I watched your video on Oil Pastel Smudge and your pieces are wonderful. I will visit your site again as I would love to learn more about the technique. Carol, thanks for participating in the CHA Blog Hop! To comply with the blog hop rules, I'll share that my cannot live without tool is my Big Shot. I craft on a daily basis; therefore, I use my Big Shot daily. I have tweeted about the blog hop (twitter.com/guneauxdesigns) several times during this week. Again, thank you for participating and sharing! Have a wonderful time in January at the CHA Show.

Your class sounds like fun. I can't live without my Fiskars Fingertip Craft Knife.

Look at those colors! One could almost dive right in and swim among them!

My favorite tool is yard-sized rulers and over sized self healing mat for box-making (and cutting).
