Hi to all my friends. I’ve really been here all along….just never enough time to ‘talk’. Hope one and all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Lou and I spent the day with Monica in Evansville, with Michael and the girls and Lou’s brother Rick. Monica has a very tiny bungalow….but we had a great and cozy time. For the last 2 months I’ve been working on ‘pocket books’, five of them, for my grandkids. Don’t care much for just handing money out as gifts, but kids have their own ideas about what they want, and like to do the shopping, so I always figure a way to ‘present’ the dollars. My goal was to complete them by December 1. Well, I’ve almost done it….just 2 pages more in one of them and then some attention to the covers to complete them. Picked up a couple of additional techniques in the process, pop ups, contact paper transfers, alcohol reduction and marbling (kids style). The latter will be fun for the collage class I’ll be teaching in February at Evanston Art Center.
