You know how much we love Rescue Pets! And we admire the wonderful people who work at our shelter to help pets find homes. Now here is a fun way you can help and show off your favorite pet at the same time. It’s time to submit entries for their upcoming calendar. (Remember that Lincoln was Mr. January in the 2015 calendar. You can see that here.)

Please enter your favorite pet photo in the calendar contest and help our shelter and the pets they are saving. They do GREAT work and can use our help. Here is the info and entry form. Just click here: 2016calendar flyer revised

Thanks!

Gelli Printing and Stamping

Beautiful Tee Shirt Designs with guest artist Sandra Charles

Young artists with their matted Gelli Prints

The last day of Art Camp for this summer had us working with Gelli printing. Guest artist Sandra Charles came to show us what printing and stamping is all about. We made stamps from sponges; we cut stamps from rubber; and we used Gelli plates to print wall art, cards and even some tee-shirts.

What a fun day. Thanks Sandra for taking time to teach us.

Decoupage Frames

Day 2 of Arts and Crafts Camp had the campers sketching and decoupaging. With sketchbooks in hand they sketched several things inside The Studio and then went out front and sat on the steps sketching things they could see from there. They did great! Take a look at what Samantha (an art camper for several years) did in just a short time. It’s the church at the corner of Main and Royal. Wonderful.

And all the kids did terrific work choosing papers to Mod Podge a picture frame. They look great! Good work everyone.
