Dragonfly

One more little Camper for the October Workshop! This is 8x10 stretched canvas.
These are fun to do but hard! Especially the smaller ones.  The small ones are harder to do because of such small pieces.

There is a motel in Denver city, 15 miles away, and a new Holiday Inn 30 miles away in Brownfield.
The  B and B here is full.

 We had our two day workshop this week end. We had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs! This is Allison with her sock monkey, that she did for her class room.  It turned out sooo cute!  I hope she does some more to go with it.

 This is Alice with her glass...She is always so much fun. She just can't have too much coffee! I love it when Alice can come and join in. She also did some cups. She lives in New Mexico.

This is Wilma with her woman that she was working on.  She was a blast to have in the workshop.  She seemed to be having so much fun.
she also did some cups the first day, then this was her second day.
Wilma is Allison's Mom. They are from Lubbock.

This is the whole group. Sue Chambers from Canyon on the left. (She left before we got photos with their work). Sue brought some beautiful collages to show us! I wish I gotten her photo with hers. Maybe next time!   Alice Hahn , Allison Robertson, Wilma Edwards and  Carol and Buddy Compton.

 Buddy with his boot.  He is a wood worker, and this will be a lazy Susan. He is going to trim away the corners and put wood around the edge. I am anxious to see how it comes out. 





This is Carol with her cup. It was such fun having them in the class.
 they all did such a great job. I always enjoy seeing what everybody comes up with! Carol was a joy to be around. She and Buddy are from Colorado City, TX.

Workshop in Bullard, TX

The Group

Signing the wall

I was invited to do a workshop in Bullard TX, and it was such a neat place! I flew to Tyler, and Mollie Jones from Flint, TX picked me up, and we ran around taking pictures, then headed to Bullard to the retreat where the workshop was held. Greta Faulkinberry owned the retreat, and it was such a wonderful peaceful place to be. The name was House of Peace, which it was!
It was very much an honor to be there. I had 14 students, and they all did a great job. I was so proud of what everybody did.

When someone comes and teaches, they have them sign the wall, and so I got to sign theirs.
It was such fun! I was so afraid I would mess up, and then we couldn't fix it!

While I was there, I got to visit with a friend that I haven't seen in over 25 years! That was such fun, and she hasn't changed a bit! We also went to her restaurant in Frankston, and had catfish. yum! My Favorite.

When I left there, I went to my aunt's home in Avinger, TX. MORE Catfish! It was great getting to visit with them while I was there so close.
