Oh my...where has the time gone? Summer is slipping away and I need to shift into high gear to prepare for my upcoming shows Tinsel and Treasures, Sept. 12 and possibly a second Halloween show in early October (still planning my schedule).
And then, I'll be off to teach some special classes Sept. 26 & 27 in Southern California at Gilding the Lily with my friend and dollmaker Colleen Moody. (Details soon to be announced.) Next, I'll lead a Haunted Halloween Beeswax collage class Saturday, Oct. 3, in Walnut Creek, CA, as part of a one-day, two class event Mistresses of Macabre Part I with Daniela Costa, of The Art Life. Busy, busy, busy!!
So what has been occupying my time? Sharing my love of art! I had a wonderful time with my students at Artis Tree Boutique and Studio in Reno, NV. Shop owner and artist Nancy Nelson (above pictured left) was a delight to meet in person and her three daughters are beautiful and talented, just like their mom! Thank you again Nancy for a fabulous evening. I think everyone came away from my class with tips and tricks about creating with beeswax and with a finished art piece they all were proud of. Thank you again ladies!
These colorful umbrellas and lanterns hang over the studio classroom table. Aren't they fun and funky? More pictures of happy artists...
And the boutique has a fabulous array of original handmde art by local artisans and beautiful wares.
Hope your summer is shaping up nicely...Iva
Wish I could have joined you!.... What a lovely-fun project Iva...
Glad to see you out and about, sharing your talents with others....
:)
