Today, we celebrated my sister, Maryl's birthday by having a workshop taught by Debrina Pratt, hosted at Maryl's house. Debrina creates the most amazing whimsical art and digital images. Check out her blog -
http://whimsicalworldoffairies.blogspot.com/. These are the projects we made today - sooo adorable!
We had so much fun creating these fairytale pieces and learning new techniques. Below is a picture of Maryl with Debrina, as she's showing us her sample project for the class.
The theme of the party was shabby chic...check out this beautiful tablescape.
And here we are working on our project...
Here are just a few of Debrina's projects. These belong to my sister Lana, a huge fan of Debrina.
