Firebird Wand Making was Fantastic

Firebird Wand Making was great and I can't wait to see them at the Festival..

 I think these three kids were brother and sisters. Their firebirds look kind of related too.

Here's a mother daughter showing off their wands.

It was wonderful to see adults making them too.

I colored all day for two days and made many wands,

which will be available for purchase at the ArtyPantz booth in the Arts Bazaar.

Handmade Paper Song Birds

I've been so busy making all kinds of bird items for the Arts Bazaar at the Phoenixville Firebird Festival, and some other local craft shows. Here is a picture of the paper birds I'm cranking out today...!

These paper song birds are so pretty, and the tail fans out! Can't find my camera as usual, but scanned this one in........made special envelopes for them too.

In addition to the Firebird Festival.....

ArtyPantz will have a booth at Camphill's Christmas Cafe on Nov. 27th

This ever-popular Christmas Cafe´ will be held November 27, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Please join us for unique holiday shopping opportunities, refreshments, and a chance to meet old and new friends! 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Blue Room at Karl Koenig Schoolhouse at Beaver Run.

Also coming up is a Holiday Soiree at the Center on Central on December 9th. This will be an evening of buying crafts, making crafts and socializing.......

I love to make things and this is just a sneak preview of some of what will be available at these various venues....as soon as I find that camera more pictures will appear.

Before the Arts Bazaar, ArtyPantz will be at the Farmers Market the morning of the Firebird Festival December 11th with a booth and a free kids activity.....probably something to do with fire and birds.

Families! Make sure to reserve Friday or Saturday December3rd and 4th to come and  make Firebird Puppets/Wands at the Phoenixville Libray, either day, anytime between 9:30 and 4:30. Go to the Firebird website for more info about this and other events.
