I'm just now getting caught up to tell you about the incredible time we had in Quinn McDonald's One-Sentence Journaling workshop last week.
We started by learning to make the coolest paper boxes ... a toolbox, really, to hold our favorite words to aid us in our future journal writing ...
We used our words with thought-provoking prompts and exercises that got us to write like we never have written before. Here's sweet Janette, sharing one of her passages with the rest of the class.
We also used Quinn's unique methods to create journal pages with grids and lots of color.
We also developed new names for our alter-egos. My name was Magic Toss. It was so interesting to hear the stories that we came up with for our alter-egos.
Many thanks to Quinn and all of the artists who participated. I will be working with Quinn to welcome her back to the Studio CRESCENDOh in 2013 to lead another stimulating, special class. Stay tuned to our calendar of events here. :)
I'm so excited to announce my newest handmade additions to my shop ... my needle-tatted garlands.
I love using them to hang near my windows.
I also love cutting them up for my art.
I also love to give them as gifts.
Each garland comes in a cute little jar, and I make them either in hemp yarn or Baker's Twine.
You can find the hemp yarn garland here.

For this carved eraser, I drew a little design onto a pink eraser using an ordinary pencil.
And used my carving tool to carve out the outline and a bit on the inside of the leaves.
Then I inked it and stamped it onto cold press watercolor paper.
Took a black fine-tip marker to add details and part of my all-time favorite verses:
Beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love, does not know God for God is love. Beloved, let us love one another.
