I may have a little bit of a Seth addiction! I love his classes! This one is supposed to be a follow up to his original class “52 Card Pick Up” which I never took. But hey, it didn’t matter! Jokers Wild is such a fun class and trust me, if you ever have the… Continue reading Jokers Wild

I’ve taken quite a few classes with Seth Apter at both The Ink Pad and Papercraft Clubhouse . This class was another fabulous workshop with Seth.

I was so thrilled when my swap package arrived! My favorite color envelope, and filled with beautiful ATCs! I wanted to get a great photo of each one because they are just so lovely.

When I teach this technique to students and other teachers, everyone is amazed that the book stays together just by the tension of the folded paper. It’s truly amazing! Below… Continue reading The No Glue Book

Most recently I had a Gelli print in a members exhibition at the Art League of Long Island. I also sent in two pieces to a juried printmaking exhibit called Making an… Continue reading Art shows
After too many years of not making the time for myself to create my own artwork, I have come back with a vengeance! Besides organizing my studio at home, I have carved out a small section of the storage closet next to my office to use as a workspace. The closet (which was once… Continue reading Mini-Studio
