Wet Felted Slipper Class at Penfelt Studio.

Wow! You know what's REALLY fun?? Getting together with a group of 

your best girlfriends and taking a class together!

This month I gathered a gaggle of gals and we headed over to PenFelt Studio,

and learned to wet felted slippers from the effervescent LeBrie Rich!

Here are a few of our finished slippers, I wear mine obsessively.

LeBrie has mounds of beautifully colored roving,

and some of her whimsical collages feel just right next to all those colorful balls.

Here we are, "working" away, truly it's more like playing away.

On the right is LeBrie, helping Charla try on her slippers.

Happy ladies with joyous slippers! Look at these bunny eared guys!

Every time I take a class, I am elated at the end! 

It's SO MUCH FUN to create, to learn, and to make something by hand. 

I am also so happy when I am on the teaching side of the table,

helping YOU build your creative confidence and skills.

Did you know here at Bird's Eye View Studio I also offers private classes?

All we need is a group of four folks, and you can learn anything from

needle felting, to bookmaking, to painting and drawing.

Let me know if I can help make a FUN day for a group of your pals!

And MANY thanks to LeBrie, you are a complete joy! xo

November's Contour Drawing Class, Fruit.

This month in Contour Drawing class we will focus on the wonders of fruit!

These organic forms are forgiving to draw, a great starter class for beginners.

We will work on *seeing* organic forms as they are, not as we imagine them,

and we will train our eyes, brains, and hands to work together as a team.

Sakura micron pens, Pentel pocket brush pens, 

and Koi and Tombow markers will be our tools of the trade. 

Wednesday, November 18th 6-8:30pm.

Hope to see you in class!

Mono-printmaking and Long Stitch Bookbinding Class.

This month I had the extreme pleasure of teaching a mono-printing

and bookbinding combo class at the Oregon College of Art and Craft.

If you have taken class with me you know I love organizing supplies!

Before we began...

Half way through our printing.

One student created a whole series of moon prints.

Another played with geometric shapes.

We printed and printed and printed all morning.

And then in the afternoon we stitched together our books,

using our decorative prints for our cover paper, 

and for each signature of pages.

I had a hard time not wanting to take each and every one of these books home!

Such beautiful work.

Such a fun and creative group of students!

Felted Acorn Fun.

Outside the studio door the acorns are falling and covering the walkway

 with their delightful little caps. I have such vivid memories of acorn caps 

from childhood, a wooden baret for dolls or finger tips. Now I happily

harvest these windfalls for felting fun. And you can join me!

Needle Felted Acorns

Wednesday, September 30th 6-8pm.
