Speed Painter Dan Dunn

Not only does he create a massive artwork upside down, he does it in 5 minutes & to music creating a performance enjoyable to watch even to my 2.5 year old! Take a look...

Perfect for kids & ART TEACHERS!

How cool is this product Crayola came up with?

Perfect for doing something with all those little pieces of crayons that no one wants to use! Thinking I may need to get one of these...or two.

Artiscape: Workshops, Art Fair, Artist Market

For all fellow artists OR those of you who are interested in trying something in the arts, but may not feel like you can paint a Picasso...European Papers is having an Artiscape. They offer 35 different workshops, an Art Fair, & Market Place. Workshops are for all levels- Beginners, Intermediate, & Advanced. The outside Art Fair is open to the public. The Artist Market is $5 to get in or FREE if you register for any workshops. Check out the workshop descriptions at http://www.europeanpapers.com/ or by clicking the Artiscape image below.

Launch of new blog

For all this time, I've been paying some good money to keep my Mac site up when I could've been doing it for FREE! So...this is in place of that site. This site will focus mainly on my arts: visual, wearable, & edible. It's kind of like an online portfolio for myself & for others to enjoy.

With the summer here I hope to add some current artwork to the site. I haven't had a lot of time to create since last summer with our moves & school...oh yeah & Stephen(O: We just got back from a week vacation in Cincinnati with some friends & have at least 2 garage sales coming up. Honestly, this summer may not be any different from last summer with everything as well as us switching rooms around to make way for my niece's entrance into the family. CRAZY busy!

So until then, everyone enjoy & have a fabulous summer!!!

XOXOX.
