ABOVE: Ivie's Travel Journal includes collaged elements, decorative writing, and a black and white photograph she took. BELOW: Annie's journal page was collagedfrom a stencil she made and tissue papers. Over the weekend, we tied up the fall session of children's Creative Journalling Workshops. We met on alternate weeks created pages using monotype, stamp carving, stencil making, decorative text, 3D page construction and collage. Students ranged in age from 5 to 13, and all of them have enthusiastically embraced journalling. A big warm thanks to the parents of my students - encouraging your child to find their own expressive voice is a tremendous gift. I thoroughly enjoyed working alongside each of my "kids," and look forward to seeing many of them return. Our next workshop begins in January - the classes are an hour and a half on alternating Sunday afternoons. Enrollment includes all materials' costs - the students need only bring a blank book and a little bit of imagination. Over the next 2 months I'll be researching and trying out new materials and techniques, so that we will have a realm of new experiments and ideas to try on. Classes will be held at Little Monsters (downtown Lake Orion) from 1-2:30 on January 16th and 30th, February 13th and 27th, and March 13th. You may enroll your child in all 5 for $60 or choose individual sessions at $15 each. I'll be happy to put together a special certificate should you want to gift the workshops to a child. If you are interested, please let me know! Classes have limited enrollment and I anticipate them filling up quickly! Thanks for looking at, and sharing, my artwork with your friends and family - Kim PS grownUP Journalling will meet on Thursday, January 20th and 27th from 6-8pm at Little Monsters. Come and see what your kids are all excited about! PPS And if you're really curious, join us on Thursday, January 13th for a book making class with Pat McGraw. Phone Little Monsters to get enrolled - 248-814-8697.

"Tabby Kit," 5" x 7", acrylics on a museum quality panel, depicting a tiny little orange striped guy from Morgue File . This painting can be yours for $289, which includes s&h inside the US. And in case you didn't see it, a little doodle of him is also available for sale here . Inquires may come directly to me . Although it certainly doesn't FEEL like spring here (snow and ice and wind chills, brr!), I can tell that spring is coming. The mercury is rising a wee bit each day and the days are getting longer and brighter. Over the weekend we drove with the moonroof open just to feel the sun's meager and oh-so-very-welcome warmth (although the heat in the car was cranked, too, in the interest of full disclosure!). I wanted to work with spring-like colors today, and this little guy was still on my mind , so I grabbed a small panel and got to work. Of course, I also have Poppy to finish and some changes to make to another po
