Which witch is which?
My daughter and I celebrated needle-felting Friday by making pig witches under the tutelage of needle-felter extraordinaire Kayleigh Mihalko.
The workshop was held at Lizzie's Corner Consignment, 36 Bank St., Seymour. We are making a turkey at the next workshop. Come join us!
Seymour resident Lulu is collecting new socks.
Donation bins for new socks are located in Seymour at the Community Center, 20 Pine St., and at Lizzie's Corner, 36 Bank St.
Lulu deserves to be commended for working to help the less fortunate in our community!
Daughter Allegra and I enjoyed making bumble bees Friday evening with several other ladies in a needle felting class at Lizzie's Corner, 36 Bank St., Seymour.
This is the third class we've attended led by needle-felter extraordinaire Kayleigh Mihalko.
We've made a cactus, a sheep, and a bee. Next up is a snowman to celebrate "Christmas in July."
I'm not very crafty but I enjoy the challenge of turning strands of fiber into felt that eventually become recognizable items.
Daughter Allegra and I attended our second needle-felting class Friday at Lizzie's Corner Consignment in downtown Seymour.
As you can see from the tabletop 'herd' above, we created sheep. It was a lot of fun.
Shelton resident Kayleigh Mihalko is our instructor.
Here she demonstrates the needle-felting process.
Allegra works on her sheep. Hers came out a bit better than mine.
My guy with a funny eye. Not easy to make them match, at least not for me!
I may just buy a needle felting kit. With it I could improve on his looks, and get more into a craft which I find quite therapeutic.
Looking forward to taking another class, whenever that will be scheduled.
Daughter Allegra works on her painting technique.
SEYMOUR - The weather certainly cooperated Saturday afternoon for a Paint and Sip held 'en plein air' at Lizzie's Corner Consignment and Gifts, 19 Bank St.
The painting class was taught by Gayle Caro, a wonderfully patient art instructor from Kokopelli School of Music and Arts, 44 Smith St.
Her encouragement as I made a mess with acrylics on the canvas board was much appreciated.
Gayle taught us to create a color wheel to paint the petals.
Woops! I accidentally made the yellow petals green. I need some yellow paint to rectify the situation!
Allegra was able to keep her paint colors separated. I have a lot to learn.
But we both had a great time at the class and we're looking forward to the next one.
Kokopelli Music and Arts will donate a portion of the event proceeds to suicide prevention, and 20 percent of all sales Saturday at Lizzie's Corner also will be donated.
