Happy Weekend! I'm off this weekend. I'm going to back away from the virtual world a little bit (I'll still post this weekend on my blog but it may be pictures only or something very brief). I'll be around to answer questions for any of my online students and emails, etc... but it won't be as quick as I usually do. I need a bit of time away from the internet so while I'll still be around this weekend, it won't be as much. I need some family and journal time. I'm not sure what we're doing yet. Tristan wants to go to see Thor. Sunday is the Farmer's Market in Larchmont Village that we usually go to when I'm not teaching. I have a pile of books to read and a new journal that's itching to be worked in. How about you, anything that you are looking forward to?

I haven't shared any links in a wee bit, so I thought I'd do a short (but sweet) Blog Love:

Ginko Papers has new tape in (yay!) Get 10% off your entire order through 6/1/11 - Discount Code: GINKOSUMMER

(Barbara shares some kind words on my new class, Journey of You (or JOY) as well as her stunning journal pages, but it's her thoughts on the many online classes and wanna be art teachers out there that echo my sentiments about teaching as well. I've always said that in order to break the rules, you first have to learn what they are (especially before you teach them).

a visit to the BookExpo of America. I am really looking forward to some of the new books that they talk about in this post.

Just got back from seeing Thor... all by myself! Really liked it. Drool worthy guy playing the part, cool special affects, great costuming... definitely worth seeing.

A question: I have only worked with the paper tape. How does it compare to the fabric tape for stickability and do you prefer one over the other? They have such pretty patterns in the fabric. Thanks. Enjoy your non-virtual weekend.

Thanks for the shout-out, Kelly. I bit my lip before I posted, but even beginning adult students are innocent neophytes and should be presented with well informed, basic material, including hazard warnings, as well as the latest in popular and fun techniques. It has not gone unnoticed over the years I've known you, how you manage to sneak in lessons on composition, color, and the basic elements of design, as well as emphasizing safe materials and the safe use of materials, and you even provide a barrier cream to help prevent chemicals from leeching into the system -- so easy with raw, artist hands. When I taught, I was once accused of "over-teaching". That really didn't bother me since one of the most dangerous things I can think of is under-learning.
