Silver Tray Albums

I met a woman named Michelle Hurtt last year at Glitterfest.  She had the most beautiful books she made from silver trays.  I begged, pleaded and coaxed her into teaching a class for me and some friends before I left OC, and man OH MAN was it fun!  What a great day. 

Her studio is so beautiful and organized you could sit in it all day and just paw through all her treasures like Gollum in Lord of the Rings.  Inspiration abounds in all her jewelry and assemblage pieces placed throughought the studio.

Here are the photos of what we did.  I don't want to give away all her secrets... You have got to take a class and find out for yourself.  Let me just say after making one, she does NOT charge enough for the things she makes.  They are labor intensive, and absolutely gorgeous.  Mine is the last photo pictured.  I gave it as a wedding gift to Pascual's cousin in Spain and they LOVED it.  These are a unique and special gift for a wedding or baptism.  If you would like info about the class, please contact me and I will give you her info.
