Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement. ~Golda Meir
I was so fortunate to attend Spark No.3 this year. Inspiration was everywhere and it was so contagious. The attention to detail was amazing. The event was held at Noah's in Lindon, Utah. This is a perfect 4-story conference center that was transformed into a mecca of creative energy.
Look how cute the tables were decorated. We each got these journals and storage boxes with the Spark no.3 logo.
We started the event with an inspirational message from Mindy Gledhill. She has much insight into the creative process and the message definitely hit home.
Then we were off to our first class - Fleting with Emily Falconbridge. I had no clue about how felt is made! We took fresh wool (already died) called Roving and made these felted soaps (these are Emily's soaps). this is like a washcloth and soap all in one. as the soap is used, the felt shrinks with it. So the fresh wool, combined with moisture and friction, eventually, turns to felt. This was a pretty fun project. We were so soapy when we were done that our hands were self-foaming for several hours after. This process can be used to make scarves, beads, anything "felt".
This was the view from our class. It is just georgous country there.
More to come later........
