The rock work is done for now and I am deep into putting the electrical wiring in the new studio. I just wanted to share this pretty little stone mosaic my friend Eileen created for the new step to the patio. It’s so nice to have friends who like to make things. We both like to make things while we visit and she is so much fun to create with. Once Eileen and I worked together to create a nature/flower girl tree topper for a big tree that went up after Christmas. The tree turned out so pretty it became a true holiday tree and was decorated again for Valentine’s Day!
This afternoon, I will have the pleasure of working with a group of students at the Eureka Springs School of the Arts. I wish it were not due to an unfortunate event in the teacher’s family that I am to be there, but I am excited to be back in the classroom and to be doing something new. I’m a great substitute since I love doing new things as much as I enjoy creating art with others. The last time I taught art wasin the fall, working with the students at Clear Spring School to create plaster castings of found natural objects, such as acorns. That was fun. Leading workshops is another thing the new studio will give me the space to do and I am developing a series of one day, project-oriented classes that just about anyone can fit into their schedule. I also plan to continue the polymer clay classes because that is such a fun and accessible medium.
