Last Saturday, eight lucky ladies (including this one) got to spend the afternoon at Tinsel Trading in New York. As if that weren’t sparkley and inspiring enough, we spent that time in a craft workshop lead by Crystal Hanehan! This artisan/Craft Superstar showed us her tricks of the trade to create our own Halloween spun cotton figure-topped candy box, based on her gorgeous victorian-inspired spun cotton designs.
Lookee what we made!
Crystal demonstrating the finer points of decorating a box with crepe paper and Dresdens.
The ribbon, trims, and Dresdens we worked with…
…and two genormous tubs of glass glitter. Wow. That much glitter makes me wonder about its street value.
More about the event is also on Crystal Hanehan’s blog.

Heather,
It was so nice meeting you. WOW! I just LOVE your blog and post. I had such an amazing time.
I had a good laugh over your glitter comment. The first thing I said to my sister when explaining about the day was, “you should have seen all the glass glitter they had for us to use”.
