Faces in Enamel

I'm painting faces with enamel again.  I have been meaning to get back to it as I have sold all of the faces I made previously. A kind patron, who admired my work this past December at a show in San Francisco, Bazaar Bizarre, has requested a ring in her size. I have spent the last few days making some faces for her to choose from.  It is not an easy process, painting with enamel, as there are many variables involved in getting a good face.   I have a large pile of not so great pieces that go along with this assortment of little beauties.  That is the price for not practicing the craft.   I have learned my lesson.

 Aren't they sweet?

This is a great book if you are interested in learning about enamaling

Altered Book spread,Visual Journaling Video

I have been teaching art for my daughter Ruth's 5th grade class.  We have been making visual Journals and I been using the lessons as a jumping off point for me to create some video's. I published my first attempt on the on UTUBE.  I enjoyed the experience so much I cannot wait to do the next.  I have been thinking about putting together an online version of the Journal Espirit classes I used to teach.  I have so many ideas flowing into my head.  Thankfully I now how to write them down for the time I can put the ideas out into the world.  I have been asked to offer a class for teenagers, especially kids in the foster system.  I am very excited about this adventure as I think I can offer some great tools for strengthening ones sense of self.  Life is good.
Check out my video and let me know what you think.  Please do forgive the back of my head.  I am just learning!!!
