Tho Acton Free Press Wednesday Oct One such course Mrs Beatty took was in the enamelling of jewelry She now has a small kiln In her basement and club members gather to fire their creations No two designs come out the same because of the nature of the enamelling process Powder is care fully shaken and arranged in color design before fir tag at high temperature Sometimes the enamel runs creating an Interesting but quite different design to the one planned Besides the enamelling Mrs works with silver copper cadmium polished stones and some Arts and crafts have been the in thing for the gold past few years but Nellie Beatty of Acton has been plan to have another course in gold Jewelry involved with her own handicraft work for nearly poon if we can afford it she grins with JENNIFER years In fact she was one of the first members of the Georgetown Arts and Crafts Society when It started years ago Mrs is well known for her weaving her beautiful silver and ceramic Jewellery her whimsical stuffed toys but she goes down in my memory as one of the most charming ladies Ive ever met Its a surprise to find out shes a greatgrand mother she doesnt fit the stereotype with a line of three children eight grandchildren and a half greatgrandchildren Never bored I never get bored Mrs Beatty comments She lives one day at a time and lives it fully How many of us have trouble following that advice At the recent Georgetown Arts and Crafts Fair Mrs Beatty had a well displayed table of stuffed toys featuring sock monkeys of classic pattern Remember those grey and red sock monkeys from days gone by Well Mrs Beatty still makes them but now she has to obtain the socks from the States These little monkeys sell like hot cakes No two are the same they all have individual faces A buyer exclaims over the monkeys trying to choose between two My children had these kind of monkeys chuckles Mrs and now they re married The children or the monkeys queries the buyer Oh the monkeys twinkles Mrs Beatty Other animals are made from plush and some knitted The knitting takes the longest she says but the results are worth ither knitted Raggedy Anns and Andys are popular as the monk cyst eine jewellery sells well However Mrs Jewellery some of which was at the Fair is what intriques me the most Intricate enamelled designs lovely twisted silver crosses dainty chains and vibrant colors make her jewellery unique Herreasonablepricesalsoensure she keep mucl instockforlong Being a member of the Georgetown Arts and Crafts Mrs Bealty has the opportunity to take many courses sponsored by the
