looking back on the past 12 weeks

Everyone says it and I'm going to say it too- summer goes by too fast. I must say that classes this summer went very well. 270 kids walked through the door and participated in an art class. We made tree houses, glass beads, bubble wands, altered books and mosaics. We drew comics, visited foreign countries, and took photographs. We made paper dolls and paper mache tropical fish. It was a lot of fun! And now it's August and school starts soon. But here are some memories of this past summer.....


by the way...I am already planning NEXT summer!

paper dolls and a party

I have always played with paper dolls. I remember getting this wonderful set of wedding paper dolls for my 10th birthday and spending hours cutting out all the pieces and loving every minute of it. So I made this paper doll for my daughter Biz. She's working on the big "shrine" for her graduation party. I spent over an hour on just the face. Biz says it's almost creepy how much it looks like her. Oh yeah- and Biz insisted on the lime green high tops. So this weekend I am doing a birhtday party at the studio. We are making- you guessed it- paper dolls. Eight 3rd graders for two hours Saturday afternoon~ let the giggling begin!
