Well I think it's finely here. FALL. No more HOT weather. The leaves are changing color and you know that means? Time To Paint. The September class went well. I hope that everyone had a good time and and enjoyed painting their banner. We had a few setbacks, but everyone worked through them. I really enjoyed teaching the "Legend Of Fall" class. It was a fun banner to do.
Now it's October and time for our next great painting project, "Witches and Blue Faeries Plate", a Bobbie Takashima pattern that will be taught by Glenna Nielson on October 9th. Hope to see you all there.
Remember to bring a raffle item and get extra Golden Dollars for the November Auction. You will also get a Golden Dollar for just showing up, or if you bring a snack or a guest. We have a lot of really nice things that our members have made, but it's not too late for you to make a little something to donate for the auction. The more items we have the more fun we will have. If you can't come to the Paint-in, you can come just for the auction at 12:00 noon. Remember, if you don't have enough Golden Dollars, you can use cash (.50 on the dollar) and all the money that we get will go to a local charity.
Also be thinking about running for an office for next year. Get involved with the Chapter by being a President, Vice-President or any other officer. Help to make the decisions for the Chapter events.
Before you know it the Christ:mas party will be here. Remember to pull out those Christmas sweaters and MAKE THEM UGLY!!! The cost of the Christmas Party will be around $14.00 per person. We will have games and prizes, ugly sweater contest, and lots good food, not to mention lots of friends to talk to. Hope to see you there.
Have a great Fall and keep paining,
Glenda

Preparation: Basecoat and seal the surface with Black and Sealer mixed together, then another coat of Black. Dry. Sand lightly, wipe it. Then casually slip-slap some Ultra blue Deep over the center of the design and lightly around the outside, then do the same with Pacific Blue. This is just to give a broken background and interest to the piece—do not overdue it, since we still need the black to show through. Dry, then transfer pattern. (Because I used the 16 inch plate, the pattern is slightly to big where the Blue Fairies go, but it does fit the center, I just moved the fairies a little to adjust for it.)

Glenda did a great job teaching the leaf man banner. The piece was done on Roc-lon (a fabric used to line drapes). Very durable, it has a nice texture to paint on and does not need to be hemmed.
We all enjoyed the class and the wonderful raffle prizes. Glenda donated some of her beautiful table runners and a lovely handbag. There were other wonderful prizes too.
The class ended at 2:00 pm.
