Back in the studio

I’m pleased to say that I’m safely back in the studio after all the balance issues I had. It appears that last week’s solumedrol treatments have finally done their magic!
I spent much of this morning getting my things ready for the Watercolor Pencil Workshop with Cathy Johnson. Class starts tomorrow, and I couldn’t be [...]

Art Unraveled - Katie Kendrick Classes

Well, I have to say, if you EVER get a chance to take classes with Katie Kendrick, DO IT! Katie is so nurturing positive, supportive and loving in her teaching style that everyone came out of both classes with at least one piece they loved. Katie helps us to really allow the process to happen [...]

I’m feeling a lot more artistic today than I was last evening. I have spent the morning working on my projects for the mixed media for fabric class with Joggles. On this Thursday, my class will have its last session, so I wanted to try to get some work done on it before then.

Busy few days

The past few days, I’ve been working on my last project for my first Mixed Media for Fabric Artists class on Joggles. I’m really enjoying this class. And I’m learning a LOT about my machine. Of course, I learned the hard way. Now for the story:
Yesterday I was doing some decorative stitching on the journal [...]

Catching Up!

I had my treatment this week, so much of the week was spent either preparing for the treatment by getting a lot of art out or recovering from the treatment. On Monday, I spent the day working on some canvases. I created some textural backgrounds to use in collage or to paint with. I thought [...]

Art Class at Fran’s

Well, let’s see. The last time I posted was on Thursday. Thursday evening, we met our friends at Chili’s for dinner. Jeff and Kiran have three kids: Julie -11, Miranda - 8, and Cody - 4. It was great to see them! I’ve known Jeff almost as long as I’ve known Dave, since he [...]

In particular, I have always admired Teesha’s journaling. I wanted to learn her process for creating [...]
