Above is a little piece I recently completed in my online lettering class "Artful Alphabets" with Joanne Sharpe. I will post many more pieces later this week. But I just have to tell you....if you are looking to take a fun, enjoyable, informative...did I mention FUN class......THIS is the class for you!!! It's my 2nd online class with her and it's just so much fun. It's all self paced, video or pdf style set ups...post work to flickr and facebook...and chat away. It is truly alot of fun! Our group is hysterical and so encouraging.....seriously, if you are thinking about taking an online class to test the waters...THIS IS IT!
This is her follow up class to "Letter Love 101"....AND she has yet a NEW class on "color" coming this summer. Just head on over to whimspirations and check her out. When I figure out how to actually attach a link...I'll be sure to do that!
This weekend I'm taking a seminar "Art Biz Lift" with Alyson Stanfield. I am really looking forward to learning how to take my hobby to a profitable career. Just thinking ahead....only 8 more years until I can retire from teaching...so I need something to keep me off the streets and still be able to afford art supplies. So be sure to check her out as well......(again, will add links when I can figure it all out).
Ok my lovelies....I'm off to bed to read the 3rd book of the very naughty and steamy "50 shades of grey" trilogy. ( HIGHLY recommended, BTW). For those of you that are a bit "challenged" in making it through some of the parts....hang in there.....it really unravels nicely and turns out to be quite good! So put your big girl panties on.....grab a martini or a pair of handcuffs....and enjoy! Laters, LOL.

DeleteJust found you blog, what fun. I am so with you I have taught for 23 years and have 8 left! That is so funny. Didnt know if you have a set number of years for retirement. In Kansas you have to have 85 points (age plus years of service to be eligible for retirement) . And what a great opportunity. Here in the middle of the nation I wish we had more opportunities but am very thankful for the web classes.

hey vicki....thanks for leaving a comment...so sorry it's taken me so long to respond...just a lot going on with the end of the year.....student art festivals.....real life, etc...you know! yes we too have criteria...30 years and out no matter what age...or you can go out sooner...but have to be a certain age...so I'm just planning ahead. I'd love to open a shoppe/studio/classroom here at the beach and just create all day! we only have 3 counties in our state..and most of the art courses are up north in the city...so online classes have been wonderful. i have also just recently started taking interest in our local art league....so that's going to be my thing too! well thanks for stopping by and visiting.....i'm really looking forward to summer!
