December .....

Hello everyone .... I have been on the run since Thanksgiving .... painting and crafting and enjoying the spirit of the Holidays. Last week I spent every evening with a room full of crafters for ornament classes. We laughed and created some very cute ornaments.

My demonstrations may end up in my esty shop.

Hopefully posting on the blog and reading others will work it's way back into my routine.

Take care everyone,
teri

  3. Hi Teri,
    thanks for visiting my blog. I do enjoy looking at your student work. I have not posted any student work but was thinking of starting a seperate site for their work... Not sure how they will feel about it. I know the kids would love it, but would have to post with parent permission and first names only. I have had some of my adult students for a few years and we are planning on entering a show in January. They feel ready and I think so too. Teaching has been so good for my art too. Keeping the basics in mind...

    I always ask when I photo the work, Do you what me to snap the project alone or with you? Most of my adults opt for the project only, and I ask parents if it is okay to post. You are correct in covering your bases there ... first names or no names works for me. What kind of show are you all working towards?
