Wreaths and Eggs

I stumbled upon a really cool craft. I had some much fun making these as Easter gifts! I have a ton of scrapping paper [I was hoarding it for a time]and I am always looking for ways to weddle the pile down! I had so much fun making the wreaths. I used Basic Grey paper for these.I also took a mini workshop at RedBow for the egg below. This was a real challenge but my mom loved it so much! It was worth all the work seeing how happy she was to receive this!!Work station at the dining room table ;) Gotta work where I can ! This is before I glued the front portion on.

Love those bunnies!!

It's been a busy April!

Things have been pretty busy in March and April. Aside from that pesky day job, I am trying to stretch out more creatively. I'm doing alot more drawing/painting and I started teaching a graphic illustraction class at RedBow. I am so grateful for the opportunity. I am learning alot about myself, the kids and teaching too:)) I was also lucky enough to lead the nesting doll workshop as well! How cool!! Another workshop is on the brain and I just need to organize that a little more. I need to do this quickly... We'll be advertising that class soon. Most likely it'll be an altered book workshop. Below are photos from the graphic illustration class! We had alot of fun making these prints. So much so, I want to do a three or four day workshop on Non-press printing. I think that would be so much fun!

My New Sketch Book

I have a new sketch book. Its made by Patricia from RedBow. I got it because I am almost done with the sketch book I made at Jen's workshop! I can't resist the paper and the Arches text laid is my favorite to paint on! Here are some sketches.

Joe is drawing too. He said along with post-it sculptures, he likes to doodle during class...hmm..wonder who he takes after...LOL!I love him so much:)

Doll Workshop Success!

Wow, the workshop at RedBow went so well:) Thanks to Maria, Melissa, Stacey and Patricia, of course! The pieces came out amazing! Gesso-ing the pieces worked out a lot better than the first go-round. All in all it was a wonderful time. This was such an experience leading the workshop! Loved it! Check out these dolls. Great work by the artists! I love how these came out, the colors are gorgeous and looking at these make me smile...
