Happy Valentine's Day!

This will probably be one of those chilly Valentine seasons!  I remember one year my mother made me the prettiest dress for Valentine's Day.  It was red voile with white swiss polka dots, with little heart lace trimmed pockets.  It was so pretty and it ended up being really cold, windy weather!  A lot of factors involved to imprint that on my memory!  But the important thing to remember was how much my mother cared for and loved me!  She still does!  Valentine's Day must be important to my mother, because she will invariably send out valentine cards to all of the grandchildren...sometimes I still get one!  So, this year I will be making her one.  I think I will send her a Zentangle styled valentine.  What do you think about this one?  It will encompass the heart (love) and the precious sewing supplies.  Love you Mom!
 
 
 
Important date and note!  I will be doing a demonstration for the Kerrville Art Club on the Zentangle Method at 1:00, KACC.  Would love to have you there as a guest!
Also, at 9:00 that morning I will have a class using Renaissance Tiles, cost is $45. includes materials.  Bring a guest and you both get the class for $35 each.  Please call me or the KACC for registration.  My number 830-285-4199. 
 
Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Schedule Revision and....Garden Pests!

I had to revise my schedule.  I am learning a lot about starting a business!  Mostly, that I don't know!  I have a tendency to let my enthusiasm carry me away...and everyone else is left standing there. So, in an effort to be "more real", I have asked my friend, Executive Director of Kerr Arts Cultural Center, Debbie Minns, to help me.

I am cancelling the class for Feb. 4 and moving the Renaissance Tiles Class to Feb. 18. Then adding Tan and White Basics to March 4th.  I have not put All Black and the Open Afternoon into the new schedule, but will at a later date. I am also planning to offer Zendalas as a Beyond the Basics Class.  Bear with me as I learn how to get the word out, and organize these fantastic classes.  The Zen and Zin is still on for March 18th, 5:30-7:30 pm.  I am also working with a friend in Boerne to hold classes there.  I'm so excited about the possibilities! (Calm down, Sharon! lol)

Here are some tiles I have been working on this week.  I hope you get a kick out of them!  My sister thinks I should put them in a picture book.  We'll see.  By the way, I have been working on some illustrations for a book a friend and I will co-publish.  This will be my second book illustration gig.  OK!  Now for.....GARDEN PESTS! Some of these are actually helpful, not a gardener, so maybe I should actually title it Garden Critters.  But, right now I like the word pests!  :)
