ArtFest is just around the corner and another addition to the group prayer flags is here! I’ve chosen to do a screen print. Many of my friends and family have not seen this process, so I’ll try to break it down in photo form for all to understand.

Ornaments Anyone?
Yesterday I finished attaching string & labels to over 200 ceramic snowflake ornaments created in the last 2 weeks. Now all I have to do is find homes for them! They are already available at The Arts Center in Corvallis. Maybe this is my opportunity to try Etsy. There are two other venues of interestContinue reading “Ornaments Anyone?”
