CHA Day 1

Sunday, January 24th, 2010
Well.....I didnt do so good on the picture taking today....I really was too busy! The day just flew by.

Jen WOWed everyone with colourizing pellets - (sorry no pic...bad me!) showing how to use alcohol inks, die cut and emboss with pellets..a real hit!

Jana continued her fracture and fusion series - always popular!

And I continued the pellet series with colourizing and using molds - again...no pic!! I need more arms!

Before the show though I was able to sneak over to the ETI booth - makers of Envirotex, the clear resin that we use to make Friendly Plastic look like glass - and snap a couple of pictures they had using Friendly Plastic and Envirotex! Great Job Designers!

These ink pens were designed by Mylene Hillam - well known to the blog...great job Mylene!

A glimpse inside the CHA Show….

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010
Set up days at CHA are hectic for everyone. There's forklifts and carts and pallettes and stuff to trip over - all over the place. It just amazes me to no end that this place will magically be transformed from a heaping pit of stuff everywhere to an elegant showroom of craft supplies, showcasing the talents of amazing designers in the industry and it's all done.....overnight!


Today when we walk in - we will see a transformation and loads of attendees eager to see the next best thing. Really - we think the next best thing is Friendly Plastic don't you?


Thought you might like a little preview into the booth.


Below is the background graphic featuring last years butterfly entries.


And this display features some of this years entries......I'll be showcasing all up close and personal soon!



Now....in a little booth just off the corner of the AMACO booth is a ribbon distributor...and I couldnt help but think of Liz welch when I saw this fabric made up of selsor pressed together...it just speaks "ooze"..... Liz - you would be in ribbon heaven!



Ideas are goin thru our heads when Jana finds this blingy ribbon.....Hmmm...wonder if they give samples????



So Jana, Jen and I are ready to go!! We just have one person missing and that's our dear FP friend Liz Welch. We wish she were here, that would make this whole experience complete! If you do come to the show, visit booth 2409 and you can view new images of Liz's work on a slide show at my table.......
Stay tuned - tomorrow will be highlights of day 1
Monday I'll announce the winners - and YES! I do know who they are! But...Im not tellin' but I will say that I'm very excited to be one of the presentors!
Tuesday is more highlights and happenings and Wednesday we walk the show to discover new product. So lots to stay tuned for!....now...on with the show!
