Art Journaling..

I have been doing a little online research on Art Journaling because I will be teaching a workshop on it next month and wanted to really get familiar with the world of Art Journaling.  I found a really good blog called Daisy Yellow that goes over the basics, as well as a lot of really nice art techniques.

Another awesome potter...

I ran across this ceramic artist and thought I would pass him onto you to check out.  I love how he writes and draws on his pots!

A Cool Bulletin Board!

I often substitute teach in a middle school classroom where the students are severely mentally and physically challenged.  Their bulletin board had not been done in the 2 years I had been working there so I volunteered to go in one day last month and redo it for them in a cool winter theme.  I hand drew the penguins, aren't they cute?

Some new Raku pieces..

At the Maitland Art Center, where I take pottery classes, Raku is always on the menu!  Here are a few recent pieces I have made.
