Anne Patchett talks about her new book, "State Of Wonder", at the Friends of the Fallbrook Library. She's a wonderful speaker and my favorite author. This year she's one of the Time Magazine Most Influential People.

 Mixed Media workshop with Claire-Lise Matthay Anderegg. 
Claire-Lise giving constructive criticism to Diane, Peg, and Pattie.

 My painting, in progress. The technique involved acrylics, colored pencil, contact paper, alcohol, stencils, stamping. Don't worry- this is going to get better.

Green with envy of you meeting Ann Patchett --one of my favorite author's too.
Do try hammering flowers.
Just put between two sheets of heavy art paper --with a magazine to pad underneath and thump away.
I look forward to seeing your results.
love
Elizabeth and Buster.
