I have a new found love for Paper Clay!! I really enjoy shaping and painting the pieces!! I am now in full Halloween swing with my art!

Here is a spooky cute ghost and pumpkins!

I have always loved to alter and collage just about anything, so when I saw Mary Jane's class "House of Cards" I just had to sign up! I have learned some wonderful new techniques in this class!! She is a fabulous teacher and many of the things that I have learned I can use in my other mixed media pieces!

 For those of you that want to take an art class but think that you can't afford it, consider taking an online class! There are so many awesome classes out there that will give you some basics to run with!!


Here is the box that I made in this class....

I know that it has been a while since I have posted any new art, but I have been making some! When I haven't been visiting colleges with my daughter I have been enjoying the online art classes that I am taking. This is the second summer that I have taken classes through www.artfulgathering.com It is such a wonderful place! Here are some paper clay birds that I learned how to make in the "Flights of Fancy" class.
