summer breeze....

As the summer months flew by filled with summer camp, math classes, guests visiting, and various other summery celebrations...

(to no avail, I was still creating craft project after craft project for the Portland Parks Summer Program: kites, kaleidoscopes, funny painted rock creatures, pinatas, etc...)

I had to halt a lot of my studio work. ack!

Now with a month and a half left before class start up again, I can kick back into gear... The project list is developing and ongoing!!

1. I learned the ins and outs of casting at a workshop last spring, taught at the Multnomah Art Center by Kristin Shiga... AMAZING! so I have a few casting projects in mind. Most include small animals that I hope to work into jewelry or dioramas, similar to the piece that I made during the workshop (little bunny, over there on the right).
   
   
2. I have some prepping to do!! because, I will be teaching my very own workshop at the Multnomah Art Center on Anodizing Aluminum!!! The class is October 17 & 18, 10am-6pm.
   check out MAC's schedule to sign up!
   
   
3. I am finishing up the costume design project for Kathryn TeBordo's Live Arts Performance...

4. Sewing Projects: for my classes (I offer private sewing lessons, all ages!) and for my personal enjoyment! Especially the Connolly Quilt, in which all the women of the Connolly family create a 6x6 square that will be sewn together to create a big quilt.
   
   
5. Ohhh the list is soo long, I could write for hours.
