Well, at long last I have an Etsy shop. I have planned to do this for a couple of years and finally did it! You can see and purchase all of the work that will be hanging at the Lovejoy Bakers in Portland. This group of work is from my ongoing series: Inside We're All The Same. I will be hanging everything on November 1, so stop by to see my work and have some AMAZING baked goods.

Day 2, Paper Clay Workshop at Collage

October 12, 2013

After sculpting the images with paper clay, we painted them on day 2. Though nobody finished painting their pieces, take a look at how beautifully they were coming along. Check back to see finished images if they share them. What a great bunch of artists. Thank you all for your hard work!

Today's Paper Clay Workshop At Collage

October 11, 2013

Oh my gosh! Check out these wonderful paper clay works by today's Friends of a Feather Paper Clay Workshop! I am so inspired by my students. Each one has a different way of working. But all are headed to some wonderful pieces. Tune in tomorrow after Day 2 of the workshop when I post the final pieces. Can't wait!

Everyday Saints Class Work

October 11, 2013

Karen finished hers! Wow!

Wow! Debbi finished hers and started another!

This is "Sally Kahlo", completed by Vicki. So charming!

Valerie's Frida looks like she is glowing from within!

What a class full of talented women I had yesterday! They were so into making their artful icons. They created images that represent their feelings and aspirations with bits of paper on small canvases. It was a very inspirational day at Collage in Portland, thanks to a bunch of fun loving art makers. The best thing about teaching a class is hanging out with really fun people who just want to make art! I am so lucky.

Check out their unfinished work...even unfinished you can see they are on their way to being some mighty fine pieces. I hope they finish and share their images so I can post them here. Stay tuned.
