Been a while...

Fabulous necklace by Deb Sparshott


It has been quite a while since I have actually had the time to update this blog. Shameful but getting ready for all of our summer programs and camps takes a lot of time and planning. I feel like I have not left my computer for a long time...getting a sore neck and hand cramps...But planning and schedule and coming up with new programs has taken priority over the fun stuff, like letting my customers know what is going on here at Creative Genius through my blog.

VACATION NOTICE

For starters, we are going to be closed the following dates:


7/3-7/6/09


7/10/7/13/09


We will be open limited hours on July 7th, 8th and 9th (Tue, Wed, Thurs)-gallery open 12-5pm each of those three days.


The studio will be closed from 7/3/09-7/13/09





When we return, we begin our camp programs, which we're really excited about. The first camp is CLAY CAMP 1 and following that is CLAY CAMP 2 as well as CLAY CAMP FOR LITTLE ONES (ages 3 to 6) and then DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY.





Then in August we will be doing POLYMER PIZZAZZ CAMP (techniques and projects in Polymer clay) and WEARABLE WORKS OF ART CAMP (dyes and textiles paints put to good use).


We're still accepting camp sign ups so if you find your child is interested, give us a call.





We've also got some new jewelry in here that you definitely want to check out by Deb Sparshott. (see photo).


To get on our email mailing list and receive specialty coupons good for use in the gallery (and sometimes in the studio) email julie@creativegeniusonline.com and request to be added to our mailing list.





Hope you are having an enjoyable summer so far!

Law of Attraction Paintings by Kate Lemay

“I attract to my life whatever I give my energy, focus and attention to, whether wanted or unwanted.”- Michael Losier

I am so excited to finally have the great new works I was awaiting from Kate Lemay. The Law of Attraction paintings are here!

Here's some information:

In each Lemay Law of Attraction creation there is a special word within the original painting.
The viewer can connect to the painting, to the word, or to both.
These “little things” make great gifts for special people in your life.
By focusing on the word and how it is placed within the painting the viewer can nurture the feeling of what life would be like if the word in the painting reached it’s full potential in his or her life.

These original works of art are available in 18 different words as well as custom words for $ 19.95 each. They make a really special gift or a treat for yourself.

You definitely want to check these out...
