They all brought yummy food and drinks so that made organising a piece of cake. I just took care of the lunch and made two easy pasta recipes: spagetthi bolognese and vegetable/salmon lasagna. I also made a small dessert which is supereasy and yummy. You can find the recipe here.
I uploaded all the pictures I made to my Flickr stream, so head over here if you want to see 'em all. After explaining a bit about paper porcelain clay and the process, everyone got to work. Soon the tidy table became messy and lovely creations were in the making.
I didn't make many colorsamples beforehand so actually, all that has been made will be a big surprise for me too because all the colors will change after firing. Some will turn grey others will keep their color. Here's what has been made:
Veerle from Nevousinstallezpas
Ina from DeerLola
Mariana from Florcita
Annemiek from TwoTreesBelgium
This last plate is mine. I wasn't very productive and just pressed some textures and stamps from Greet who was sitting next to me. She brought an awesome box of buttons and metal pieces that made fabulous textures so I was permanently rummaging through that box! :)
After it is fired, I plan to make a positive of these so I can use these textures myself.
So now I need to fire these goodies and I will send 'em to everyone. They will make something awesome from it, I'm sure of that and can't wait to see the end result! :)
wow nice results we all amde:) I saw what the others made from a distance, but seeing them like you pictured them, beautyfull!
ReplyDeleteThanks for organising!!
And maybee when you have fired them I come to pick them up and we will chat a little again, hihihih

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun event - all these talented crafty ladies in one place - sounds great! And the results look pretty good too . . . :)!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks really great. Hmm, I wasn't very productive either. It was fun working with paper porcelain though. Can't wait to see what happens after firing.
ReplyDeleteI see a lot of buttons coming !
ReplyDeleteGreat work, Mitsy and the girls. Have any of these clever crafters ever worked with paper porcelain clay before? Either you are a very good teacher or they are already super crafters (or maybe both...?) Can't wait to see the colours after firing, L xox
ReplyDeleteHey Elle, only one person has ever worked with paper porcelain. I didn't have to do much explaining - hey are all natural creative talents! :)
ReplyDeletelooks like a great party, well done, Mitsy and all the girls who attended! :D

Cela fait un moment que j'admire ton travail.
ReplyDeleteComme j'aurai aimé participer à ce genre d'activités. Une autre fois peut-être?
i would so love to join an etsy craft party like this one
ReplyDeleteif you do one for the next anniversary please let me know!!
I wonder if you would let us know your source of paper porcelain clay. (sorry if you have already done this before)
Margie, we used Scarva's Flax paper porcelain clay E/S 600
ReplyDeleteYou can see the packaging in this mosaic: http://www.flickr.com/photos/artmind_etcetera/2954401059/in/set-72157603702099720/
I bought it from Willems in Antwerp, Belgium.
I would love to invite you all to my studio but really there is not enough room I'm afraid... Perhaps I need to find a larger location for next time? ;)
How wonderful! It's looks like everyone had a great time. Loved seeing all the creativity. It will be exciting to see the pieces fired as well.
ReplyDeleteWow - that was one productive and creative party! :)
ReplyDeleteoooh, you must have had a great creative day! I am looking forward to see the final results.
ReplyDeletethanks again for hosting a great craft party Mitsy ! gosh, my plate looks awfully empty... maybe my pendants will double in size from firing ;-)
ReplyDeleteNono, Ina, it will more likely shrink! ;) But your texture is one that takes loads of time so in fact you did a great job! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's not the quantity... ;)
Ohhh I could imagine how it was great! You are lucky girls that could met together:-)
ReplyDeleteLooks soooooo good! You had a blast indeed!!! Thank you for sharing with us such a wonderful experience!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful party Mitsy! Glad you had a great time :) Kx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day! I can't wait to see everyone's work after the firing. ;-) I think I'm going to come visit you so that we can play!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you all had so much fun! :)
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing your crafty creations as well.
This will sound strange... but on the wall in the first photo is what I assume is glaze samples. Do you sell them? I was thinking that a grouping of them in a shadow box would make an awesome art addition. If that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had such a wonderful day - and creative to boot! Wish I could have been there!
That looks like it was the best party EVER! You are super Mitsy!
ReplyDeletewow wow wow!!
ReplyDeleteWOW; I wish I have been there...
ReplyDeleteOOohhhh I'm so jealous! What amazing time you all must had! :)
ReplyDeletethese are awesome... looks like you folks had quite a fabulous time!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the party was tons of fun! I loved the pictures of what everyone made :) Can't wait to see how they all look after firing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun party! I love how your room looked all decorated
