I joined a group called
LaFioReVida run by artist Brenda Figueroa. She is an amazing, lovely woman who loves to share her passion for art and is always there to help. The class I am taking with her is called The Luggage Project. You have to see her work - it is fun, whimsical and just beautiful!! Here is the link to her class if you want to check it out for yourself:
The Luggage Project
In this class we take an old suitcase from a thrift store, Goodwill or wherever you can find one and alter it into a cute, colorful piece of art! Mine is not finished yet but here is a picture of it ~
Isn't that adorable?? Brenda goes thru instructions on how you can do the inside, so that is the next part for me. I have been collecting cases of different sizes and shapes that I am going to work on when this little cutie is done. I just love it! I am so glad that I found Brenda's group. She is an awesome teacher and becoming a fast friend too!

Hi Kelly.
ReplyDeleteI joined this site the other evening, as soon as i have the funds i will do this course too,

your cae looks great. I was thinking of hitting the thrift store this weekend and I saw your case and realized that I have a scrapping tote that looks like a suitcase. I won it loaded with goodies as a grand-opening prize at our LSS a few years ago. It is brown with gold hardware. I forget who makes it, but Iafter seeing your suitcase, I think I am going to alter it. Need to join the class this weekend. Michaels has a sale on foam brushes 20 for $1, and paints are 30% off starting this Sunday! woo hoo
