2014 started out interesting as far as all my Olympia Parks, Arts & Rec classes have all been canceled so far - only a few had a couple people signed up most had 0 enrollment.


However.... both classes at Panorama Retirement community are running.
Then, I was called for two In-Service days at the alternative elementary school this month.

Today my acrylic class participants at Panorama voted unanimously to keep going in Feb.! I forgot to bring my camera to take in progress photos. I didn't finish my demo because I was so busy going from one to the other. There are only 5 people but it keeps you real busy. The two hours fly past!

I was showing them how to use molding paste [white tree shape] and a gel with sand... to be finished next week.


Bainbridge Arts & Crafts had a cancellation for the two artist demos in February at the retirement homes so they called me
AND....
they asked me to bring up 8 to 10 new whimsical Sumi-e for their rental program. Plus I can bring up new cards as well.

I have arranged a Mandala workshop at the Lacey TRL for Saturday March 29th 1 to 3pm.
location: 500 College Street SE, Lacey, WA 98503-1240 360-491-3860


I printed Sumi-e cards today for the Saturday Japanese New Year celebration. I have original Sumi-e cards as well... keeping it simple and low prices. I hope to encourage sales by keeping low prices on cards and small prints.

This was the start of a watercolor pencil demo for Monday's class - we were working on trees and sky plus they tested their pencils colors.

Now 2014 is looking a whole lot better! Keep Arting! e
