I’m behind on my posting of recent art so I thought I throw some pieces up real quick. These are some of the samples that I did for my last Technique Class. We worked with beeswax and the class turned out great. I looked around about 20 mins. before class was over and everyone was […]

This morning, I took my Persian cat, that I’ve had for 10 years, to the vet. For the past couple of days, she has been lethargic and I haven’t been able to get her to eat. The vet ran blood work and discovered that Carrie’s kidney’s were failing. She recommended an ultrasound of the kidneys […]

I found these great little cabinets at Michaels recently on clearance. I showed them to the owner of the stamp store where I teach and she loved them so we got a bunch for an up coming class. I was inspired by the last Somerset Studio issue and just had to do some altered cabinets. […]

This is my book for the “Things” round robin. I decided to do an Asian Travel theme for this book. I’ve wanted to do Asian for a while but hadn’t gotten around to it. This gives me a jump start on the book.
Here is my intro page. Yes, I know I spelled Asia wrong… I […]

Here are the spreads I did in Cheryl’s book. She had a sort of a vintage floral theme going on with her spreads so I tried to keep my stuff in the same vein.
This spread came together really well. The back ground is napkin and the yellow fuzzy stuff at the bottom is dryer sheet. […]

Here are some spreads that I’ve done for an online round robin. The title of the RR is Things because every time we send a book on to the next person, we also send at least three “things” with it that the person must use in their spreads. The point is to challenge ourselves by […]

I took a very nice class this weekend and learned how to do Coptic binding. Here is a photo of the book we made. It is about 4″ square. My top and bottom row of stitching are not perfect because I was missing a “loop” when I added the next signature. But, the middle rows […]

I’ve taught my first two classes now and they went wonderfully. Everyone did beautiful work and they all seemed to have a great time. It’s so nice to finally see this all come together. Now all I have to worry about is creating projects for my next classes.
Here are a couple of pictures […]

I’m teaching my first class this weekend! I never thought I wanted to teach but ever since this opportunity came along, I can’t wait to give it a try. My first class is an advanced ATC based on my Tuesday’s Child cards. Here are the samples I made for the class.
 The owner of the shop […]

I haven’t posted in a while so I thought I would throw something up. Here are some pictures of a little book I made out of envelopes last night. I made this for a sample for a class on image transfers I’ll be teaching in a few weeks. We’ll make a simplified version of this […]
