The View ....

from my studio table. Lots of projects in going on over here!

Plastered!

I took Stephanie Lee and Judy Wise's awesome on-line class on plaster. They are coming out with an e-book on the subject if youre sorry you missed the class. (It was truly fabulous).

iCAD: Index Card A Day

I have been following Daisy Yellows iCAD - index card a day summer fun. Her idea is to draw, paint, collage and/or write on one index card every day during the summer. I dont think I have done one everyday since June 15, but I have been doing it. It gets me doing some piece of art frequently... which is the whole point.

I drew this piece with my left hand (and painted it in with my right). There's something very freeing with drawing with your non-dominant hand because you dont expect it to be fabulous!

Bookmaking

I love to make books. I recently found this blog where she is making a book a day. That is way too ambitious for me, but I will try to make one a week. Here are a couple of quick mini ones that I made and will give away as part of my trades at ArtFiberFest next week.

Can Art Change The World?

I LOVE Ted Talks, but this one is utterly amazing!

Play Date

I spent my afternoon playing with paste paper paint (and eating Indian food and drinking tea) with my sweet friend Laura. A really good time was had by all!

An Artful Journey

I just returned from an amazing three day art retreat in Los Gatos.
