School and work

Next week, my classes with the children, begin again. I am looking forward to this school year, after all.
We are going to do the sketchbook project, too. The first part of the year we will be doing things like looking for something to do rubbings on, how to make a booklet to work with, folding paper with paint on it and try to get a butterfly, you know, things like this. Then later on, we will do shadow puppets. I have many many things planned.
The best part of the year is coming, the crispy golden days of September, taking long walks in the woods, and I usually have so much creative energy to use.

I am working on the Bear series, these days:

Out On A Limb

This is next, the last one is almost finished.

Let It Be

To See What She Can See

Bear Went Over the Mountain Series #1

Thread Painting

From the previous posts on technique

this piece is almost finished.

I dyed silk a red color and 

am in the process of sewing this around edges,

as the back. There is some ribbon wrapped felt

as part of the piece, also.

I will show this when I am finished 

Have a wonderful Weekend!
