While spring still drags its heavy little feet about arriving full time, and we lag about 10 degrees below normal most days and nights, we have had more sun and less rain....enough to lift my spirits a bit and get me outdoors more. Now for things to just dry out a bit....
For those in the area, I'll be posting the details of a found object assemblage workshop I'll be co-teaching at the Keizer Art Association (in Keizer, near Salem) on May 28th. My co-teacher is Catherine Alexander who will teach the first half of the class, while I teach the second. Because our approaches vary, you will learn two different ways to approach the project. Catherine will be mainly leading students step-by-step through a nature collage/assemblage, while my approach is less guided and utilizes more varied materials and more varied forms of attachment. I also emphasize creating a sense of mystery in the work that will intrigue viewers. The class cost is a very modest $40, and Catherine and I will provide most everything you will need, unless you have special treasures you wish to incorporate. Class is from 9-2...or 3 if needed.
I'll post a link soon.
The April giveaway: I've giving away another goodie bag of at least 50 pieces this month, so be sure to post a comment or two to get your name in the hat for the drawing. Each comment enters your name again. I'll pull the goodies and photo them in the next few days so you can see what "treasures" are at stake!
I've been a little under the weather with a virus, thus few posts. Am on the mend, so will be back with you more often now.

Your class is the day after my birthday! I wish I lived closer or didn't have my pesky day job so I could travel down to take it. :)
I wish you did too! I'd love to have you in class! I will be scheduling some weekend ones here at the studio...need to put that as a priority on my to-do list....that will be weekend classes.
You are in the drawing!
Sorry to hear you've been feeling under the weather :( The class sounds wonderful... I may have to join you :)
Ack... that is the same weekend I am offering a class here at my studio :( I will watch for the one you have at your studio :)
Thanks, Ruth, I'm gradually pulling out of it. Now if we just have some sunshine!
The class should be fun....two very different approaches!
Bummer....guess that means I need to get that studio class here scheduled ;)!
Hope you're feeling better now Diane, get those spirits lifted! I received my lovely print yesterday, which was my winning gift from last month's giveaway. Thank you so much, I really love it - and it is a treasure. Carol xx
Carol, I'm pleased your print arrived safely and that you like it.
A little sunshine would go a longgggg way!...and a little less rain. An inch in the rain gauge every couple days gets a little overwhelming....but it's why it is so green and beautiful here! I'll live through it, I'm sure.
