The people in this class produced several pieces each. Lots of beautiful work. Unfortunately, I apologize for the fact that I don’t have names to go with each piece. If one of these beauties is yours - please let us know in the comments section!

These are photos of my students’ work from the Experimental Watercolor Collage Class at The International Calligraphy Conference in Naperville, Ill. in July

Here are some pics from my Put the Letter to the Metal class at the International Calligraphy Conference in Naperville, Ill.

I want to let you know about some upcoming classes that I have in Michigan. They are at Art in the Loft in Alpena, Michigan. The workshops are April 25, 26 and 27. The 25th will be a short workshop on Simple Metal Etching. The 26 and 27 is the Acrylic Textures, Layers and Metallics. This workshop will feature the techniques that are presented on my DVD of the same name. For more info see the link above or call The Art in the Loft at 989-356-4877. Alpena is a beautiful little place and I am sure that we will have fun! Come and join us!

I have been working for some time on class proposals for the various art retreats next year. It is so hard to come up with something new! I really like teaching process classes - but finding new processes all of the time is a real challenge! So, mostly I have been trying to work with my usual processes but in a different way.

My fascination with Molding Paste continues! I just love stencilling with the stuff! In this collage, which I have proposed to Art Unraveled in Phoenix for next year, I have used the molding paste around vintage images. It is always a little “tricky” to make the molding paste and the photo look like they are unified, but I think that they really do merge well in this collage. And, while I usually do not work much with vintage images, I am rather fond of this piece- the layers stand out nicely over the canvas and the colors and images are working well!

I just tried testing this to see if I could post, and amazingly it worked! Now, I guess I am officially a blogger!

So, I guess that means that I need to think of things to comment on - hopefully happy things! Right now I am busily working on proposals for a number of the major Art Retreats. Why, oh why, am I never ready for these - I have known that they were coming for months, and, of course IPhoto is not working on the IMAC since I had it repaired and the CD is at work with all of my other MAC CD’s. So, I am late with the last few photos! I will upload them here, when I actually manage to get them out of the camera!
