NATIONAL ART EDUCATION ASSOCIATION CONVENTION

Always, one of the funniest place at the convention:

ART MATERIALS! 

PRANG:

I have always used their watercolors when teaching. New favorites:

METALLIC WATERCOLORS AND METALLIC MARKERS 

An old favorite; Les Carrés Couleurs Conté 

This was presented by Sax Arts & Crafts:

Creating a monoprint using Shrinky Dinks and Caran d'ache water crayons

LETTERPRESS TRAY FROM 7 GYPSIES

I created this letterpress tray for a contest from Archiever's Scrapbook store. I won the voting contest at the Niles, IL store and now the piece is on its way to ScrapFest. There it will compete in the National contest against forty four other photo trays. The pictures are of my niece and nephews and the art work they created with me when they were little. It is hard to believe that now Josh is a freshman, Sammy is in eight grade and Emma is in fifth grade. WOW!
