Taking flight: new class, new work
I promised you altered books last week, and today I can show you full views. But first… butterflies.
Artist Carla Sonheim and I are going to do a short and easy tutorial in her online art lesson series “Bugs! An Online Class for Kids.” If you’re grown and you wanna play too, ignore that “class for kids” bit — Carla’s made room for adults too. Carla’s a rock star in the mixed media art world, having written books and taught classes at the much-missed Artfest retreat.

That’s one reason I’d strongly suggest you sign up for “Collaging Your Own Butterfly” sooner rather than later. The class goes live on Thursday, October 22. Meanwhile, I haven’t forgotten about you altered book folks! Here are full views of my most recent pieces: “Leave or Remain”…
… and “Now Boarding.”
By the way… you could’ve seen these two works last week. I made sure to show my subscribers right away. If you don’t want to miss out on the next first-look, sign up to receive my weekly posts.
A glimpse for now, more later
Good news and bad news… the good news is that I now have much better, professionally-taken photos of my newest work! The bad news is, I’m under deadline with another project, so I only have a moment to share a glimpse.
I’ll have more to show and tell next week. Can you hold out for a little longer?
Throw us a lifeline: collage in the time of coronavirus
Hoo boy, has it been slow in art news… like running underwater.

A little good news, though, thanks to the Northwest Collage Society: An exhibit I juried for them recently opens next week on October 1st! ‘collaging through a pandemic’ is the group’s first completely online show. One perk of judging the show is that I get to share an example of my own work…

But the best part is the opportunity to funnel help to other artists. NWCS will donate its own net funds from the show to the Artist Trust COVID-19 Relief Fund. Plus, NWCS is awarding prizes to a lucky few artist-entrants. Find out who won what in ‘collaging through a pandemic’: you can access the show from October first to December 31st.
