Here are some details on the goodie bags and what to bring:<br />
<strong><br /></strong>
<strong>Goodie Bags</strong><br />RSVP's have now closed for the goodie bags. If you have opted in for the goodie bags there will be 31 empty bags at the craft party for you to fill with goodies. For those participating, bring along 31 small craft supply packs from your stash (such as paper, yarn, fabric, tags... anything that will inspire others). Make sure you include your name/who it's from. Everyone who has RSVP'd to participate will go home with a bag full of crafty goodness. You may also like to dip into your goodie bag for materials to use on the day.<br />
<br />
We will help you transform your old photographs into amazing artworks! Here are two great examples that Tara (Dudley Redhead) put together:<br />

<br />
You will need:<br />
<br />
<strong>Photographs</strong><br />At least 1 black and white photocopied photograph. We recommend laser jet (not ink jet) if you will be using paints or markers (to prevent bleeding). If you can, print onto card stock, or glue your photocopy onto cardstock. There will be time to create multiple artworks, so please bring as many photographs as you would like. You could also combine a few photos in a collage.<br />
<br />
<strong>Paper Ephemera (optional)</strong><br />Images sourced from google images and printed out, photos and type from magazines, origami paper, tickets, pages from old books, greeting cards, postcards, etc. It may help to think of a theme when sourcing ie: a country, event, place, era.<br />
<br />
<strong>Basic Craft Supplies</strong><br />
Please bring your own scissors and glue.<br />
There will be some craft materials available on the day (including sequins, pom poms, glitter glue, neon embroidery thread, and masking tape).<br /><br />We will have a number of tables set up to learn different processes:<br />1. collage with <span data-mce-style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">Tara from </span><a data-cke-saved-href="http://dudleyredhead.blogspot.com.au/" data-mce-href="http://dudleyredhead.blogspot.com.au/" data-mce-style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;" href="http://dudleyredhead.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Dudley Redhead</a>2. embroidery with <span data-mce-style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">Lisa from </span><a data-cke-saved-href="http://theredthreadblog.com" data-mce-href="http://theredthreadblog.com/" data-mce-style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;" href="http://theredthreadblog.com/" target="_blank">the red thread</a>3. image transfer using xylene with <span data-mce-style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">Fiona from </span><a data-cke-saved-href="http://fionakate.com.au/" data-mce-href="http://fionakate.com.au/" data-mce-style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;" href="http://fionakate.com.au/" target="_blank">Fiona Kate</a>4. general embellishment. </div>
