Hello dear readers,
Today is going to be a long post. The meeting, as expected was exciting and very happy. It was held at Goldies home. Besides being a great artist and teacher, Goldie is a wonderful, generous hostess.
We spent a lovely time working together. Here are some photos of the result.
Vanity chairs and metal chairs. Goldie taught us how to create the vanity chairs. We made
one each. Not all of them shown here.
Sarit taught us how to create the metal chair without the use of soldering. You can see one
in the first photo. I must confess this one is a little tricky. I hope to be able to finish mine here at home.
Here we are deep in work
You have seen many photos of Goldie's work in my previous posts. Here are two I particularly love and the third is her latest scene in a lamp, discarded by a friend.
This is a very impressive magazine stand in a lamp.
And of course, there were swaps. Mine are two very pretty hand made bags with two pairs of
doll's shoes.
One of the girls brought along minis she no longer had use for and we each picked up items we
wanted. I chose kitchen furniture. Lucky me!
All these pieces of furniture will need painting over. I do not like the color but
they are nicely made with opening doors and sliding drawers and it will be worth
the trouble. I love the table.
It is incredible hot in Israel. The air conditioners in our home are on day and night. I go out only if it's absolutely necessary. I hope you, my dear readers, enjoy better summer days.
Blessings to you all

Hi Drora! Pretty chairs! You were lucky to get such lovely bads and shoes! How many shoes you have now? And the kitchen set is beautiful!

Looks like you ladies had loads of fun... and I am kind of jealous for someone owning a table as big and loooooooooong as this offering so much space for crafters and all their stuff... eh... craft items right at hand that's what I wanted to say. *grin* You've made some wonderful chairs and like Ewa I hope we get to know which one is yours. Your swap items are so lovely and the furniture a very good pick with so much potential. And about Goldie's scenes - this lady is very talented indeed and that magazine shop in the lamp is awesome.

ReplyDeleteQue hermosa reunión Drora, se ve que lo pasasteis muy bien, de lo que me alegro mucho. Las sillas son una monada, tantos las vestidas como las de hierro y los regalitos preciosos la mesa de cocina me encanta!!
Espero que pronto deje de hacer tanta calor, aquí en España también tenemos un verano muy caliente.

Me encantan esas sillas tapizadas, son preciosas.
