Show & Share:

**Kimmi brought the very last art piece she did for her 365-day art a day challenge last year…simply amazing!

**Kristi Lyons brought a tree piece.

**TJ brought a Christmas card made by Carol Palleson.

 

Evening Presentation:

**Cyndi passed out precut pieces of black and white paper. The black paper was ½ the width of the white sheet it was to eventually be glued to.  She had an exemplar, passed around original examples, and showed samples on the screen/overhead. The art form was originally designed to teach children special understanding.  We were encouraged to use stencils or shapes using our own imaginations. She showed us how to cut into the center of the black paper for the best results. We got the hang of it pretty quickly and produced a nice variety.  Thanks, Cyndi!
