Express Yourself! at Once Around

Busy Altering Books at Once Around

Another Express Yourself! collage and altered book workshop successfully held at Once Around in Mill Valley. There were 7 attendees, including a family of three.

But after my initial reaction, I figured I used to teach young children how to ride -- how much more difficult could art be?

Sam at Work!

Sam's Piece Close Up

As it turned out, not much more! And what beautiful artwork Sam created! I stuck pretty close to my 2-hour lesson plan...I just gave the class -- and me -- extra time for clean up and show and tell.

Loosely swirling round a [dance pole]
Rings and fingers
Kisses swallowed hole
The threat of never --
That dark and secret path
Imagine my surprise at that..."

Time Travel: Your Eyes

Philly Altered Journal Spread: Your Eyes, circa 2007

"So there you aren't
and here you are
and there you never were.
And so I feast at gazing in your eyes
when every time you peer at me
from out a fluttering window..."
