Copic class

I wanted to report on the copic class that I had last Saturday. The three ladies that took it had some "issues" with the markers. Once we identified them we were off and coloring and blending. I was very proud of the progress all three ladies made in class. We also address "shading" as in How To. The key here is to decide where is the source of light coming from! When I started in school I would draw a small sun in the corner of my paper to indicate the source of light. After a while it shrunk to a small directional arrow. I don't need this aid any longer. But if it is helpful to you - use it.
Here is another Well Done! to my three students; maybe they had a good teacher?

Plastic Boxes

Well I finally got back in the large plastic boxes we like to use for storage. It was somewhat of an ordeal. The manufacturer of the boxes decided to go through a distributor instead of selling directly. So once I figure that out I was able to place the order. Unfortunately there has been a price increase. And when the boxes arrived there was damage to the shipping container and then we found that there were
several of the boxes inside damage. So that meant another phone call. Then they didn't include an invoice just a packing slip. So I really don't have a final price on the boxes and shipping. I was waiting on another phone as they were suppose to e-mail me the invoice. When I had left the shop I still hadn't received it.
But I'll figure it out and they soon will be out on the floor for sale. Yippee!

Oh my

Well it certainly has been a long time since I have posted.
I am so very sorry for that. Life has gotten in the way. I won't go into details here.
If you want the the gritty details you will have to come and visit me at the shop on Fridays.
The latest thing going on there is we have gotten in Art Lenz products. They are really cool plastic lenses that you can use with your regular rubberstamps to make the images appear to move. I have another class coming up next week.
I'll certainly try to do a better job in posting.
