Photojojo #182 – Fish on Stools

I’m behind on posting a backlog of photojojos. So busy with work, volunteer opportunities and teaching the last of my mixed media art classes. Here’s #182. It’s fishy, where these came from 🙂

Mine is a shot of the yard through a stool I bought at IKEA; my partner’s is the fishy part.

Website for Mixed Media Collage Workshops Now Up

If you are a follower of me and my art, you may know that I’m now teaching mixed media collage workshops. I LOVE teaching these workshops. It is so fun to pass along to others what I’ve learned on my own and from books and workshops I’ve taken.

Here are a couple of quotes from recent attendees:

I love your class – your approach to teaching, your work and your willingness to share your secrets.  All of it.  You’re such a excellent teacher and I’m so excited to share you with my friends!!!  
–PS, Spring 2010
 
This class has been so wonderful. I’ve learned so many new techniques and it is something I want to use to take my photography in a new direction. 
 
— NW, Spring 2010

Mixed media/collage is such a wonderful technique. You can see the website for my workshops here.

Please be sure to pass this along to anyone who might be interested. The next workshop at Accent Arts will be some time in the late summer or fall. I’m also offering private workshops for groups – details are on the flyer.

4 Women 365 Days – Get Together on Debbie Kolm’s Birthday


We had a little union* of the 4 x 365 girls this weekend. Ann was in town from Houston and we got together in my garage to take a photo of all of us with my little Fuji polaroid clone (instax) camera. Left to right: Nancy West, me, Ann Schroeder, and Diane Costello.

Thanks to Diane’s longer arms, we were able to get us all in one shot – no one but the little dogs were home so we had to “do it ourselves.” Anyway, it was a great meeting, and we look forward to doing the rest of the year, a photo each per day, and possibly going into 2011 again.

We are also thinking of putting together a book of all the photos using Blurb or something similar, so stay tuned on that front.

Here’s a link to the blog, with a photo posted by each of the four of us every day since January 1, 2010. Enjoy! 4 women 365 days *since this was our first meeting, I won’t call it a reunion. That will be next time we get together.
