The Ladies of Harley- as in Harley Davidson. These ladies had a great time making this suncatcher that I designed just for them. It features the Harley wings and the front wheel, handlebars and headlight of a Harley.

Ancient Egypt in the Morning



It was a busy Saturday in the studio. In Art Around the World we visited Ancient Egypt. I have been collecting Egyptian artifacts and novelties for years and the kids enjoyed trying on my treasures. The kids made their own "beaded headbands" and I gave each one a cartouche of their name in hieroglyphics.

Galapagos Islands

These are the baby sea turtles we made while visiting the Galapagos Islands.

Art Around the World


Art Around the World has been going on now for 6 months. The kids and I have had alot of fun "visiting" different countries each week. We learn about other people and places through music, culture and customs. Each week when the kids walk in they ask " Where are we going next week!?" In the photo above the kids were picking out beads to decorate their drums from Yoruba. When we visited Africa. Pretty soon our passport books will be filled up and I'll have to issue some new ones. Next week we are going to Ancient Egypt to discover wonderful treasures...
