Mosaic Table

This sumer I did mosaics for the first time. I LOVE doing mosaics, they are so much fun, more to come. But I do need to find a better grout, I am frustrated with the grout I used.

Fun with fabric pens

I can't wait to make pillowcases for Llama, Llama, Red Pajama day at school!!!

I just got the shipment of the Art/Spanish Class supplies and am making up some samples with fabric pens! What an addicting project. I had such a blast making these, I can't wait to wear my shirt that otherwise would have been ruined by Victor as he was "helping" me do wash. It was more like washing "for the cure." 

Private Art Lessons

I am starting private & semi-private Art lessons again. I will come to your church or local library.

I  teach drawing, previously I taught a lot of private lessons, I can teach private lessons or also can set up small groups if you are interested in a semi- private lesson or even an art night out, party etc...

In drawing lessons students learn  "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" concepts, sighting, shading, etc...

Mosaic Experiment

I have been dying to try mosaics and today I started my first mosaic project I thought I would complete it over the course of a few days but once I started I literally could not stop, it is addicting!! Although this table looks small it can actually seat 4-5. I can't wait until it is grouted tomorrow can't wait to see the final piece!

Goodbye tribute

I was asked to paint this mural as a tribute to our principal who was leaving the school, we wanted a visual for her to remember us. This was the least I could do as the principal really was such a wonderful person and I think that the quote really sums up her wonderful spirit.

New Position

I recently finished out the year and am going to be entering a new year at a new school. I will still teach Art and Spanish K3-5th. I am glad that the school is less than a mile from home and I have previously substitute taught there so I have an idea about how things are run. This news came at the very last week of school so I was unable to let students and many staff members know about the new position. I leave with mixed emotions as this past year was the best job I have ever had... by far!

I am hoping that next year will be another amazing year!
