bloom

 

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

ANNOUNCING...CHANDELIER-ELLA...ONLINE WORKSHOP

The Workshop you have been dying for...coming soon to a computer near you!  Yes...that's what I said!

The infamous 3-day Workshop CHANDELIER-ELLA ~ the one that was taught in Italy and in my studio ~ the one that is requested umpteen times from Florida to New Jersey to Australia ~ is now the newest Sally Jean Online Workshop. 

Beginning January 1st, you will learn how to make your own Chandelier frame with options (including how to use existing lighting fixtures), fill the panels in both soldered and non-soldered techniques (such as resin, fabric, paper...), make your own chandelier crystals, make hand-made flowers, add lighted elements to it, embellish it with unusual found objects, and more.  Bonus instruction on how to make Lampshades & Nightlights is also featured.   Since this is such a big project, the videos will be available for the entire month of January and class size is limited to the first 100 registrants.
