March 27-April 15 - Baylor Student Art Exhibit
The food at the opening
reception was scrumptious. Sorry if you missed it. However, the art
was also very nice, and that's on view until April 15. If you can get by
that way, it's very much
worthwhile.
April 13 (new date) - Karen Groman - Jewelry
 Beads,
baubles and jewelry! A little bit of history, some show and tell, and
u-make-it-u-take-it for a bracelet or bauble. Hands-on everyone! Example
at the right. If you have some beads you would like to make into a
bracelet or to share – bring ‘em. We’ll have fun crafting some jewelry
for yourself or to give away. We will meet at the Central
Presbyterian Church, 9191 Woodway Drive on Sunday, March 9. Be there at
1:30 for refreshments and conversation. The meeting and demo will begin
at 2. Bring some art for Show and Tell, and bring a friend to enjoy the
demo with you. Visitors are welcome, and first time visits are free.

Karen Groman - Jewelry Making
 Karen
Groman, who is an experience art teacher, started her demo with a slide
show of the history of jewelry. She had tables set up with books on
jewelry making and small bowls of beads of various sizes and colors. We
were each given a small tote which contained a piece of felt
material and a piece of memory wire. We all selected different beads
 for
our own personal bracelet. The photos on the left and right show some
members at work. The photos on the right show the resulting array of
bracelets reflecting our personal tastes.
 We
thank Karen for a well organized and interesting presentation, and
especially for the chance to actually create a piece of jewelry. Thanks
also to Frank Gutierrez, Violet Piper, Gloria Meadows and Christine
Niekamp for refreshments, to Gloria Meadows for her minutes, to Karen
Groman for taking photos, and to those who brought art for Show and
Tell, examples of which are shown below. Not shown is a sweater brought
by Violet Piper. Gloria Meadows brought the sketches by Don Magid.
