Vacations Gone Wrong

Here is a series of plates I have done focusing on the events that can ruin a vacation.

Enjoy!

Bead Making Class at the Garbage Garage

Here are some photos of the Recycled paper bead class at the Garbage Garage. It was a standing room only crowd of enthusiastic recyclers. They were a joy to teach and hang out with. The next workshop will be on March 6th. We will be making Garden Flags from recycled fabric.
