Ginny's Small Studios workshops

So over the summer i have taken a bunch of workshops at Ginny small studio in Avon lake Ohio. Ginny is a wonderful lady that just makes you feel like you have been her friend for years, even though you just met her. She has this wonderful shop that i visit once a month, I live about 35 miles from it . Anyways she has workshops there with some really great artists. This year I took and Andrea Matus, Teesha Moore, Ingrid Dyjkers class.Here are some of my pictures from Ingrids class

Been awhile since I last posted.

Been doing some collage canvas with old Life magazines form the 60's. I also have been working on A book of shadows for Halloween, for my coffie table. If you don't know what a book of shadows is heres a link  http://jamiebos.webs.com/scans.htm

Some new pages in my May Art Journals

The first one is the cover, fabric, iron-ons Donna Downy. I have been feeling kinda blue and I really  have alot on my mind. I think alot has to do with my kids getting older. I know alot of parents can't wait for the kids to grow up well not me . I wish they would stay young forever.My kids have been my life and love them dearly. Alot of people know what they want to do when they go off to collage . I just wanted to be a mom. So there will be alot of emotion in my journal pages lately.

I'm going to start selling my journals .

I have been making alot of  fabric journals . They are all sewn and they have Fabiano watercolor paper in them . I'll be posting pictures soon, going to be selling them for 25.00 on my etsy shop.
