Right before I headed off to CREATE, I decided to make each of my students a pretty name tag. I think it's nice to have a little piece of art from your instructor, don't you? So I hand stitched about fifty name tags. On the second day of the retreat I realized that I hadn't taken any photos of them! So I spread a few onto my hotel room floor for some iphone camera action. Here's a small sampling:
Although it was a lot of work (only 18 of the 50 tags are pictured above), it was well worth it! I think they turned out super cute! I'm hoping the wearers will incorporate them into their art when they get home!
Thanks for stopping by!

Wow Julie, what a great gift for your students, such a personal little thing that stills shows that you put a lot of time into them. I’d totally keep mine if I’d been there. 🙂

Well, computers and I aren’t getting along lately….Finally able to leave a comment. I love this idea. It is so personal and special. I would cherish a tag like this and love to use it somewhere.

I’m sitting here wishing that I was one of your students so that I could have an original one-of-a-kind name tag. Awesome item for the students to have to remember your class. They are uber cute and very thoughtful.

Such a useful and very thoughtful gift. As I viewed each of the personalized nametags, I could feel the love you put into each and every one. I know I would love and appreciate such thoughtfulness from such a talented teacher. Not only would I want to keep my tag forever but what a great suggestion to use in a piece of artwork. My mind is racing on just the thought of the usefulness of your name tag. I love your name tags and I love having found you. You are my daily inspiration and I brag about you whenever I can. Thank you. Much love.
