Introduction to Roses On My Table

Cristina Zinnia Galliher is the administrator for this site and the instructor for two ongoing workshops: Altered Art Tiles and Altered Art Bottles.These are paid workshops and they are ongoing, which means that new participants can register at any time. These Workshops are downloadable, and participants are encouraged to go at their own pace. Each workshop offers a supply list, detailed video instruction, photographs for reference, and Q & A for more in depth learning. Sources for materials are offered, and supplies and tools are up to the participant to acquire. Once registration is paid, students enter the virtual classroom through invitation.

Roses offers it's members a variety of free workshopsby Zinnia and participating artists. These workshops are frequently video guided and up to 30 minutes in length. These workshops are seasonal, and they are offered for a limited time.


Artist Trading Card Swapsare fast becoming a favorite activity for our members! Artists from all over the world who possess a variety of styles and techniques make for a very interesting and fun experience. Members are encouraged to participate, and all skill levels and media are welcome. Monthly guidelines, and the specific rules for the swaps are posted inside the ATC Group. Please request an invitation to participate in this wonderful group of artists who share in common their passion for sharing and inspiring each other while collecting fabulous mini works of art!


The Journal Journeygroup begins its grand re-opening in January 2010. A very loose format will be offered to allow for a broad range of medias. Artists can follow the weekly prompts and share their art works and inspirations with others. This is not a group that will explore the deeper issues of self, but rather, a group that allows for creative experimentation and freedom. Participants are encouraged to expand on techniques they know while experimenting with new concepts. All are welcome and the only requirement is an open mind and an open heart.


Zinnia's Tul-torialis an ever expanding library for the mixed media and collage enthusiast. This room is always growing as time allows, and new updates and editions are included whenever possible. Participants are welcome to contribute information that meets the criteria of the library.


Table Talkis a place to share and socialize. Most topics are foot-loose and fancy free. Make friends, share your stories, and meet others who are like minded! About Your Studio and Workspaceis dedicated to sharing our art studios with one another. There is always something to learn from each others little slice of heaven! Come share yours with us!


Most of all, Rosesis a place for artists to share, grow, and learn. We can't do these things without each other, and it is my hope as the administrator to make a space big enough for all of us to fit so that we can grow into the artists we are born to be! oxoxo

A special request from Teri of Onethewing.ning

Below is an email from Sean McGee, who has been on military tour in Kenya. He is asking for something that I have (boldly? bravely? but I don't think foolishly) said I think our group can help with. Each year at Christmas the Kenyan Navy reaches out to the local community with gifts. He specifically asks for no money, but one thing they very much need is at least 100 paper lunch bags that have been decorated with a holiday theme in which they will place goodies to pass out to the local children,… Continue

Time Bandit





Insidiously the TIME BANDIT will sneak into your brain, imbibe on your thoughts, inhaling moments, casting you in a spell until you will never catch up. Fortunately, I've been able to contain him upon this perch, to keep him in control. Now it's up to you to finish.

Here's whats happening on Roses...

...Love is in the air...


Coming soon in February!

 Altered Shrine Workshop! Express your own personal tribute to a person, place, and an idea. This workshop will show you how to translate your thoughts into the language of objects and symbols so that you can create beautiful shrines! I will show you each step in making my own shrines so that you can apply the techniques I demonstrate to create your own personal interpretations of the the three themes that we will pay tribute to. We will cover: *How to select objects and colors
*Constructing your own personal shrine
*Flat Board Shrine
*Assembling a small shrine from a mint tin
*creating artful alters
*mixed media layering techniques
*embellishment and bundling

Our three shrines will represent three themes:

Inspired by Love: The first shrine is entirely constructed by each participant. Students will fabricate the first shrine from foam board. Video directions will be provided for each step of the constructing process all the way through embellishment and decorating.

Caution: This is a hands on cutting project and students will be making the first shrine from scratch! Some muscle work required for this project. Use your own muscles, or borrow someone you know to do the cutting!

Altered Obsessions: The second shrine will encompass a flat board surface with techniques and applications on how to create a shrine based on a particular theme. Mixed Media Layering, and Assemblage are demonstrated.

Places In the HeartThe third shrine will focus on an intimate mini shrine made from a candy tin, with elements that create a beautiful chain for display.

Just before I open registration I will posting some photos from this workshop.
Please note that we will be using hand tools in project one, and students will be expected to build this shrine with their own two hands, using the materials in the provided materials list. I do not provide the materials, but I do provide helpful links and store names where the materials can be located. This will be a fun workshop! If you like assemblage, if you like mixed media and collage, and if you love to use meaningful objects in your work, you will LOVE this workshop!


Workshop Start Date Pending for Late February. Registration can be made now or when the date is posted.
$60.00 USD

Boccetta Bottle Art Workshop

Registration open now for February 26th start date.

I first realized how special a bottle was the very first time I filled one with rose petal potpourri many years ago. I collected unique shaped bottles and filled them with beautiful things just so I could look at them and through them. While there are many ways to adorn bottles, I've found these methods and techniques create an avenue for me to express my love for bottles in a whole new way, and now I wish to share my passion and my techniques with you in this very special workshop. In my Mixed Media Bottle Art Workshop I share with you the techniques and secret applications that I use to make bottles into art. Join me, and enjoy the process of collecting found objects and special bottles, special trinkets and charms, and learn how to transform your treasures into your own unique art!


Workshop Includes:

*Zinnia's secret formula for creating a beautiful bottle art color palette

*THREE different techniques for creating unique layering

*Natural embellishment techniques using found and new objects

*Basic wire adornment techniques

*Applying alcohol inks in a whole NEW way!

*Cork embellishments to die for! You will LOVE making unique tops for your bottle...the crowing jewel!


Three different bottle technique applications will be shared.

This video guided workshop also includes still photographs for you to study and refer to and down-loadable video's for you to keep and review!
