Be Your Own Boss Course 2006

Just returned from our last 'class' in BYOB for this course, with my certificate and portfolio having presented 'Wild Line Design' to my classmates and tutor, and now we are all ready to go out and do business. . .

This is the remnant who remained after eating lunch. . .there were 13 of us in all and each one doing something unique and doggone interesting. Great course to be on. Fred, the tattoo artist on the far right, and Tamara the jewellery girl in the back, and Marion Grace the Stations of the Soul counsellor in the front, but the rest follow on after this pic, except for the two courier guys and the marine electrician. (See - interesting!!)

An, now this is Karen, who is opening an antique store and cafe sometime soon, and she did a great display and got us all very keen to come and have a coffee and a stooge around real soon. (Sarah - I'm sure you and your Mum would love it). She's calling herself 'the Blue Dragonfly'.

This is Fiona who can make designs and templates for almost anything made in fabric. Fabulous costumes for filmsets, through to clothes and then upholstery. She is a perfectionist and it shows.

This pretty lady did the makeup on one side of Karen's face for us. She is heading out to be a makeup artist for weddings, and virtually anything.

And finally, and by no means least, here is Francis, who was elected King by his band of Norsemen who meet every weekend to re-enact battles by Vikings. He is a jeweller who is getting into the make Nordic jewellery for the growing trade needed to support re-enactment groups rising throughout the country and the world. He made everything from the sword to the the two helmets, as well as some mighty fine jewellery and the chain mail. WOW. He's off to the museum to support the Viking exhibition there.
