Way cool and colorful diamond crayons from Todd Oldham’s Kid Made Modern collection,

Postage




I have been going through my archives this past month as part of my spring cleanse.
 I found this worn envelope I saved,
that I loved for it's colorful stamps, postage marks and beautiful handwriting.
 I ordered fantastic calendars from Flora Douville that traveled in this envelope,
  pleasing the eyes of many who caught a glimpse.

Glass Stones on Wood













I'm not the only one who loves
 the look and feel of these
 small glass stones on
pastel / painted wood pieces.
We also used crayon shavings 
for additional  texture and color.

Nicey.

Portfolios



We're wrapping up the Early Spring Session this week,
which means the sorting and sifting of artwork in many mediums.
And LOTS of it!

Here, the Tuesday 5-9's class paintings, 
sitting upon portfolios on the gallery floor
 (mid stream sorting).
