Published in "Cloth, Paper, Scissors" Magazine!

Awhile back Interweave ask me to write an article for "Cloth, Paper, Scissors" magazine on accordion Graffiti Journals ... specifically "The Wall".  I was happy to do so and have included a few photos here. This is the current Jan./Feb. 2015 issue.

The timing is quite good as well.  Are you aware you can take a workshop in Portland, Oregon March 4th, 2015, through Art and Soul and make your very own version or one as pictured below?  Registrations are being taken now.

This is the only time this workshop is scheduled for 2015, so don't miss out! Below are a few other Graffiti Journals that are in the article and more photos on my website  can be seen here.

Art and Soul Portland!

What a crazy busy and exciting time!  All plans are in full gear for Art and Soul in Portland, March 2-8, 2015!  Classes have been added and I will be teaching 4 workshops that I am terribly excited about!

One of the workshops will be "The Wall", a graffiti inspired accordion book.  Speaking of which ... did you see the Jan/Feb 2015 issue of "Cloth, Paper, Scissors" Magazine? There is an article I wrote about graffiti journals with "The Wall" being shown as an example.

The "Mandala Journal" is being offered on Thursday.

By popular demand, "Through the Rabbit Hole" will be on Tuesday.

And the brand new "Over the Edge" (the fun size version) will be on Monday!

My teaching schedule is being dramatically cut back starting this year, so take advantage of the opportunity to take these workshops while you can.

My website is currently under construction and oodles of new photos of these journals are being uploaded as I write this! Be sure to check them out!

"Art and Soul" - Virginia Beach,VA

I spent the morning making these fun promo banners to share on FaceBook. ... really wish I had done it sooner, but I have been so crazy busy, (and loving every minute of it!) that there has been no time.  I just got home from Dallas a few days ago and will be off again to Virginia Beach in a few days.

While I was in Dallas, I made a new friend that introduced me to a new editing program that I am over the top thrilled about.  I have been using an antiquated version of Adobe Photoshop for a few years now.  I have had a love/hate relationship with it from the beginning.  As a result of using this older version, (as I can not make head or tales of the newer versions, nor do I want to spent every waking moment of the rest of may life trying to.) I have to run it on an ancient computer.

I now have a new computer on it's way and am very happy.  Many thanks Linda! In the mean time, I am off to unpack from Dallas and repack for Virginia Beach!  Phew! ... lots of work, but SOOO much fun!  Hope you'll join us in Virginia!

Ginny's Small Studio Workshop Series

Coming up rather quickly, I will be teaching "The Wall"  and "The Journal Obscura" at Ginny's Small Studio in Westlake, Ohio.  The dates are March 23rd and 24th, 2013.

"The Wall" is a Graffiti inspired accordion journal.  Click here to see more photos.

 "The Journal Obscura" is a journal inspired by the Camera Obscura.  Click here to see more photos.

I am so looking forward to this and I hope you'll join us for one or both of these workshops at Ginny's great studio!  

And if you are unable to join us for these workshops, I do hope you'll at least visit Ginny's shop. Her "eclectic and curious goods" are a feast for the eyes.  My head just spins thinking of all the possibilities! I guarantee that you won't be disappointed.
