Hi!  So remember back in the day when I started this project?!  Well it is DONE.  I actually finished months ago but, well, ya know.  Here it is…. !!
Thoughts?  I have good news about the inspiration behind the project, and that is that I finished the mini-marathon that I ran in May.  And I ran [...]

Printmaking is probably one of my favorite things, and the students will be starting on this next project once they get back from spring break so I’ve been working on my example.  We are trying to get them to think more conceptually, and to really approach this project as if they are artists (up until [...]

I’m teaching a visual journaling and bookmaking class for the next several weeks, and the picture above is of the sample book I’m working on and I’m going [...]
