December is here and holiday spirits are in the air at YEStudio!

Hi All and Happy Holidays! We are in full swing at YEStudio and in the third week of classes for the 2010 Winter Session.

Up front in our news is the YEStudio contribution of a decorated 5' potted tree to the Fantasy of Trees, in Knoxville at the convention center. Trees were sold and all proceeds went to the Children's Hospital in Knoxville, TN.

I want to share with you the pictures of our tree and some information about the participation of our YES Kids.

 Here is the gorgeous tree by Youthful Expressions Studio's YES Kids!

The YES Kids also did some Mini Masters with Acrylic paints, on Shrink Film, they were then put into the oven and shrunk. They are quite beautiful!

The third project for the Fantasy of Trees was wooden ornaments, painted and covered in Bling! We call those 'Shimmers" They were a wonderfully delightful addition to the tree. Here are a few of the red ones.

These are just a few of the Shimmers they made for the tree. They also did snowflakes in blue and swirls in green, with lots of bling. The students had a great time and most of them were able to attend the Fantasy of Trees gala and see the product of their generosity in person. We plan to be involved with the Fantasy of Trees again next year. We hope to get more students involved then.

Check back with us soon. I'll be showing you our latest projects which include a beautiful sunset with lovely white birch trees in the foreground. See ya! ;-)
