Glenmarie Cove Also Got Talent!!

......and this was proven on April 18, 2009 when an invite was put out in our GMC Blog to witness a talk and demonstration by our very own neighbours :

1. Painting on candles and ribbon-craft by Bud from Road 2B.

2. Crafting of bracelets and necklaces from beads and semi-precious stones by Dahlia from Road 2A.

2. "Basics of Sailing" by Jeff from Road 2B.

A picture says a thousand words they say, so enjoy the photos:

• Bud using acrylic paints and deft strokes from various sized brushes created beautiful Art on candles. Next, using various types of ribbons and gentle twists and folds, thread and needles, she created realistic looking flowers and foliage.
• Dhalia, on the other hand, delicately assembled jewelry. With her tiny pliers, different crafts tools and nylon string, she was able to knot and twist assorted beads and semi-precious stones into colourful and brilliant bracelets and necklaces. For chokers, there is a wide choice of silver and gold plated wires to use as the base material.
• Finally, Jeff explained very simply and clearly the elements of sailing. He took us through the history of the very early sail boats, explaining the layout of a modern yacht, the dynamics and skills of sailing and navigation, competition sailing and also covered the safety precautions necessary in yachting. A very active Q&A followed and it looked like many residents are willing to give sailing a try.

Tea and fellowship followed. while several women continued with their "hands on" learning the craft from Bud and Dahlia, the "Sifus"!

A very big "Thank You" Bud, Dahlia and Jeff, for so kindly sharing your talents with us. Thank you also to all who brought snacks for tea. To Anita, thanks for the crate of F&N Chrysantimum Tea....all gone!!

All in all, it was an informative and enjoyable gathering. Let's continue to build our Glenmarie Cove Community through fellowship and affirmation.

Warm Regards...........Mary Wee.
