ART OPERA~Lisa Kettell

I was at the Art Opera in Red Bank, NJ today.  Look at all the fabulous women that were there:

Lisa Kettell from Faerie Enchantment and hosted this great event.

This is Joan, Lisa’s sweet Mom and artist.  I just love her altered books and jewelry.

This Kecia from Lemoncholys.  She makes the most beautiful jewelry with dolls from Germany.  (more later)

Lisa, me and Patti who you might know from Ranger.

This is my friend Marelene aka Queen Bee.   She loves bees and I gave her this:

It’s a cute little bear pin/necklace for her to wear.

This is me, Peggy, she also teaches at Scrappers Cove, Lisa.  Ok, on to the good stuff!  This is Lisa’s new scrapbook paper.  Isn’t it great!

Of course, you know I had to use my new feature on my camera.  ;o)

Just love that feature on my canon.  lol

Here is a layout Lisa did using her papers.

Here are some of Lisa’s items.

These are some of Joan’s fabulous art:

Kecia’s artwork:

 

This is one the dolls Kecia gets from Germany.  There use to be an Old doll company in Germany that made these dolls and in World War II it got bombed.  Kecia knows the two men who go there and excavate the area to find these dolls.  They just find them in the ground, isn’t that amazing?  

Other vendors:

Of course, you can recognized Kathe’s shop, Summerhouse.      Just had to show these Alice in Wonderland pieces at Lisa’s table.

So, I hope I showed you a little bit of everyone work.  Lisa is planning on having the 2nd Art Opera next year so mark your calendar’s. 

Oh, I know Geralyn would kill me if I didn’t tell you this:

This is Lisa’s Spring 2009 Zine and…..can you see who I am pointing at?  LOL  Yes, that is Geralyn and me with the white hat!  Geralyn hosted a Tea party last year and that is where I was lucky enough to first meet Lisa, Kecia and Marlene.    You can read more about the Tea Party here.    Hugz, Z
