It's almost time...

It seems like I made this book so long ago.  First it was just an idea Loretta (here's a link to more info about this class) and I were tossing around, then it became a class we are co-teaching.  There are so many ways this food memoir can be made.  One could create a 'favorite take-out menu' book, a 'wines I can't live without' book, or 'menus only a child can love' type of book. How about a 'special family recipes for the bride to be' book?  The more I think about it, it DOES seem like there are endless possibilities. Whatever your preference, it can be made into a wonderful book.

NOTE: YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE AN ARTIST OR A WRITER TO MAKE A BOOK UNIQUE TO YOU.  IF YOU CAN CUT AND PASTE, YOU CAN DO THIS CLASS.

Our class will involve some writing, some painting, some collage and shhhhhh....don't tell anyone, but samples of food too! We also have a terrific kit put together to minimize dragging a suitcase of supplies to class!   From me, you will create backgrounds, learn some fun paper engineering and bookbinding.  Loretta will teach us some writing prompts and exercises.  So join Loretta and I as we spend two great days together in Stamford, CT at ART-IS...YOU art retreat COME...have some fun with us!  Sign ups are until September 25, 2013.

here's a little eye candy to tempt you...never before seen pages ~



ok, i lied, you've seen this one before, but not with the writing added!
