Can You Guess Who I Played With Yesterday???

Christmas At The Castle!

As they say "better late then never!"  Here are some photos of this years displays at the CASTLE.  The center tree has over 1000 ornaments on it and took 3 people 8 hours to decorate!  ENJOY!!!

Papercutting Class In Ulla's Studio

Wednesday I had three wonderful women in my studio for my first ever 'Papercutting' class.  What fun we had!  I am truly amazed at how personal and delightful each piece turned out!  Kristine loves gypsy caravans and decided to do a Christmas themed piece with a caravan, jolly St. Nick and his donkey and 4 sweet little waifs.  The oval shaped canvas back  really completed the piece!

Barb wanted to do a piece for a good friend of hers who loves all things Egyptian.  She posed herself  hieroglyphically as a maiden fanning her King!  So much fun, and so original!!!

 

Kat decided to do a piece for her husband who is a scientist specializing in 'animal sounds'.  She created a wonderful scenic background (those trees were individually cut out!) with songbirds and her husband with his 'equipment' getting center stage!  Wonderfully personal and very heartfelt!!!

The day was such a success and I will definitely be teaching this class at the Castle this Spring!

My Own Personal St. Nick!

We went Christmas tree shopping with my parents yesterday.  Doesn't my Father look adorable?  And yes, he dresses 'stylin' everyday!!!

WHIMSICAL PAPERCUTTING CLASS - In Ulla's Studio!

Silhouette Papercuts are all the rage right now.  With this in mind, I will be teaching a basic papercutting class in my studio, here in Santa Rosa, on Saturday December 13th, and/or Wednesday December 17th.  In this class you will learn a few 'tricks' on how to make papercutting easier, and how to mount your finished cuts on canvas boards.  I love combining papercuts with photographs, so feel free to bring favorite images that might spark your imagination.  (My sample is a series of four 8" x 10" panels depicting the Four Seasons:  Spring/Bulbs, Summer/Love in the Mist, Autumn/Chestnuts, Winter/Mistletoe.  The little girl is from a vintage French postcard series that I own.)  

 Time:  10:00 to 4:00  (please bring a lunch)

Cost:  $100.00  - includes all supplies, and access to Ulla's collection of images.

Will teach to a minimum of 2, and up to 4 students.
