RMBS Meeting
TACtile
6:00 p.m.
Speaker: Marc Palan - Luminosity Fashions Chainmaille Jewelry
Marc Palan is a multidiscipline artist, forging his career off the tools and materials available to him. As a woodworker corsetier and chainmailler he focuses his design energies toward precision and symmetry, and has a ravenous appetite for color. He often works around his materials, which are usually off-cuts and small pieces, yet places elements wherever the design allows, resulting in a visual feast along with a story of creation for almost every piece. On the hunt for something new he has joined the RMBS and is beginning to explore peyote-stitch as a medium for wrapping and blanketing his designs with radiant colors and fantastic patterns.From wrapped cabochons to marquetry Marc will describe how he makes his pieces using mostly unorthodox and DIY methods. A variety of chainmaille jewelry, corsets, and wooden creations will be on display, and some finished pieces as well as chainmaille supplies will be available to buy.
- Come and check out this unusual and unique artist!
- It will be a fun and interesting meeting!

We are sponsored by the Lone Tree Arts Commission and guided by an advisory committee that consults the group for input. We share a common love of beading and are committed to creating an environment that supports expanding knowledge, increasing skill level and artistry, as well as fostering creativity. We choose to work in a relaxed, freindly manner, with minimal organization. We have many levels of experience, welcome all who have at least some experience in beading, and are willing to share. Each meeting has a demonstration of technique or a project presentation by a member. We also plan to have some special classes.

Another great bazaar.

Yet another great year! Eighty-eight students in classes, a fantastic dinner, and the vendors appreciated the hospitality suite!

We had a wonderful Bazaar in 2007!
