"Card Party" is what we're calling the project that will be demonstrated in our booth at next weekend's Rubber Stamp and Paper Arts Festival at the Rock Financial Center in Novi.
Participants in our booth will learn the simple technique of making pendants using Patera jewelry findings and fast curing Gel du Soleil resin. These are new products for FOUND and we're really excited about the possibilities for personalization. For our demo, Cyndi will use circles cut from playing cards - and cure them in just 20 minutes using a UV lamp especially designed for this purpose.
Note: the photo here shows the pateras before the clear resin is added.
In addition to the Patera products, we'll have antique and vintage photos, cards, ephemera, game parts, sheet music, books and more. We've been busy putting together lots of variety packs for easy shopping.
The other exhibitors will have an unbelievable selection of art supplies for sale - ink pads in hundreds of colors and styles, dozens of rubber stamp vendors (including those from one of our favorites, Paula Best), specialty papers and envelopes, glues and glazes, markers and colored pencils and art pens. Oh, my... last time I went, I felt like a kid in the candy store!
