Open Studio Christmas Arty Party!

The studio was abuzz with activity last night! Carols were playing while Christmas ornaments and gifts were being created!
The atmosphere was electric with laughter and fun!
Halie decided to collage some Christmas themed cans to use for gift containers. Becky decided to create an ornament for her granddaughter's first Christmas!
Joy decided to make her husband a collage on canvas as a Christmas gift. It will have an ocean theme since he loves deep sea fishing.
Rebbecca is making her parents and grandparents a collage Christmas ornament with the theme from the movie "It's a Wonderful Life"!
Becky is choosing pictures and creating her layout while enjoying a little glass of Cabernet!
Joy has finished base coating her canvas and is now choosing all of her collage elements.
Lots of creative energy going in here!


Aubrey decided to collage a glass tea light for her room!
She also made a beautiful Christmas ornament for her Mom!
Here is baby Ina's Christmas ornament made by Granny B. (Becky) in celebration of her first Christmas!
Here is the back of the ornament. The words were created on our old typewriter at the studio and then cut out and decoupaged onto the ornament. Then sparkles were added of course!
Sarah decided to collage an old bottle with a mermaid/beach theme!
Very cool Sarah!
OMG! Joy's collage on canvas turned out so beautiful! Your hubby is going to love his gift! This is the first collage that Joy has ever done! I think she's found her new talent!
Becky also created a Christmas ornament for her brother based on his favorite Christmas movie!
Love it!
Aubrey's tea light is still drying. When it's finished she will be able to place a lighted candle inside and then all of the pictures will glow! It should look beautiful in her bedroom!
Here is the Christmas ornament that Rebbecca created for her grandparents! Just lovely!
And here is the collage ornament she created for her parents! So sweet!
Halie painted and decoupaged this paint can and will now fill it with cookies to give to a friend for a Christmas gift!
Another beautiful can created by Halie to fill with goodies!
A fun filled artistic night was had by all!

Christmas Open Studio Projects


Collage Christmas Ornaments


Christmas time at the studio is so fun! I loved making these projects during "Open Studio" Friday nights. Every Friday night between 6pm and 9pm the studio is open so come in and make a project! Projects take about 2 hours to complete and cost $25.00 at the door. This includes all materials. Make a cool Christmas goodie for yourself or to give as a gift! Bring your friends! Bring a snack! Bring a bottle of your favorite wine! Sit back, relax and CREATE!
