Helen's workshop at Art Unraveled
Here are my students busy at work at my Art Unraveled Workshop last week. So many wonderful works were produced ....Thanks to my wonderful students who spent the day creating. We had a little excitement in the morning....we laid out our paintings on the grass to dry in the 112 degree hot sun. All of a sudden one of my students jumped up and ran out the door. Low and behold... the gardener had grapped our works in his garbage claw ...ready to throw them away!! Didn't he know it was ART! The paintings were recovered and all was well.....

Montecito Family Camp 2010
Camp was great this year! My Montecito Family Camp http://www.montecitosequoia.com/
students painted each morning at different locations by the lakeside and up near the lodge. Great job everyone!
This wonderful site in the Sequoias is so relaxing and peaceful. This year I taught a retired professor of Finance from Stanford, and a professional violinist among other great talents in their respected fields. Art takes us in new directions constantly.

fabric paper for Book Arts
I taught my Fallbrook School of the Arts Book Arts class how to make this paper today. We used ephemera bits:papers, metal washers that I found near my son's metal shop, hand carved stamp papers, and other great stuff. These were layered and glued between organzia and thin rice papers. Next week we're going to make exposed stitch beaded book using these papers as covers. Delightful!
Speaking of Book Arts, my next class starts soon!
