Adventures in Paper with Candy Entingh

Welcome & Announcements:

**We welcomed Diane Gidley as a first-timer and new member to our meeting! 

**Kathy gave us several dates to remember and encouraged us to get our paper work in if we want to submit pieces for the show and haven’t handed it in yet. The gallery will take 40% commission, so we were told to price our pieces with that in mind. Prints are acceptable. If you have business cards, leave a stack with your pieces.  

The dates to remember:

August 7-inventory paperwork needs to be into Juanita at Commonwheel.  The form is online.  It can be filled out on line and submitted electronically or you can print it out, fill it in, and send it snail mail or hand-deliver it by the 7^th.

August 14-Pieces need to be to Commonwheel.  Their hours are 10 am -8 pm.  Kathy agreed to accept your work at her house prior to the 14^th. 

August 17-Friday Art Walk/Opening & Reception 5-8 pm The Board will supply fruit and veggie trays for the reception.

**Our annual picnic will be Tuesday Aug 14 @6:30 at Karen McGinn’s.  She lives in a gated community within Kissing Camels.  If you plan to attend let Carole Rudy know by the day before so she can give the list to Karen who will give it to the gate guard.  The guild will provide the meat from Rudy’s and we are to bring a side dish.  

**Sherry will offer an in-home class on Copperplate in October.  She will have sign-up sheets available soon.  The 4 classes are $65 with a $20 rebate if you attend all 4 classes. 

**Shelley Hitz introduced her newly published faux brush lettering workbook, available on Amazon.

**Crystal Folgmann is willing to help put together a mini workshop to publish/print original paperwork into wrapping paper.

**The Board will meet on Jul 28 to discuss the details of the Retreat in October.

Show & Share:

**TJ had several Secret Belgian journals she plans to submit to the show.

**Sherry showed us a sampling of the cards she is making for the show.

**Kathy Hutchinson gave a quick review of The Creative Call by Janice Elsheimer.

Evening Presentation:

**Candy worked with 2 other gals to cut large sheets of specialty papers she ordered from Paper & Ink so we could try each one out with a variety of mediums from colored pencils, to ink and gouache, to pastels, watercolors, and plain old pencil.  It was a great practical exercise, complete with the name and  description of each kind of paper.  Very helpful!
