Whimsical Assemblage with Dana Maley...we need to do this again!

Kudos to Dana Maley for this orchestrating this wonderful event for the Tampabay Surface Design Guild Members at Bonnie Bowman's studio..

She brought every material the we could imagine or not imagine and all kinds of tools and equipment to try out.

We were inspired by the huge selection of eclectic materials brought in by Dana and some of the participants. 

It was almost overwhelming at times.

We shared skills and ideas, here Donna Issac is demonstrating how she uses a heat gun and colored glue sticks.

Marlene Glickman and Gayle Wells share tips.

Finally we get to work!

Assemblage by Gayle Wells is ready for finishing touches.

So much fun ... perhaps we can do it again...we certainly have enough stuff left to recycle!
