Broke not Broken
In late July this summer I asked my friends, “what was your breaking point” then added their words and images to custom made plates and shipped them around the country.

I repaired these to the best of my ability, with the visible mends declaring, “by our actions, we are transformed”.
Two Bee On Line!
Lost Art of the Letter
In this virtual “correspondence course of correspondence” we’ll look at ways to embellish letters and envelopes with original art and collage pieces, discuss formats for writing personal letters that make them sincere and whimsical. Along the way you’ll have handouts to print, cut and color, links to great letters through history, resources for crafting stationary and art, recommended books to order from local shops still doing mail order and a host of places to send thank you notes and other letter exchanges.
