Oooooh, squishy paper! Here's one sample of some paper castings I've been working on, this one done in a scallop shell with bits of a paper napkin. It's easy and pretty fast, and it's what's cooking tomorrow in Room 206, on the first First Tuesday of the New Year. I'll have everything you need to do some experimentation: molds, paper, and a toaster oven to expedite the drying. Water and paintbrushes, too. That's all you need. You just layer pieces of thin, soft paper on your mold using lots of water (that's what makes it settle in to the crevices), then let it dry and pop it off.
I think a garland of these shells would be gorgeous!
As usual, come any time after 5pm and stay as late as you want. BUT if no one is there by 8pm, I reserve the right to close up shop and go home. But I probably won't, because I have shell garlands to make! See you.

Coming up in Room 206
This week brings the 3rd Friday in February, and as there are no birthdays, jury duties, blizzards (I guess) or other emergencies Room206 will be open!
Come any time after 6:30 pm. (A little later than usual.)
Expect the Olympics to be on, quietly, in the background.

About the Art Parties...
Art Parties are no longer held in my studio, but they were fun while they lasted! Thanks to everyone who came and played and shared and supported my efforts. in the Shoreline Historical Museum on the First Tuesday and Third Friday of each month. It's a drop-in art playtime for grown-ups! There's usually an organized project for the evening, but if you'd rather bring your own work and just enjoy the company, that's fine too. Come any time after 6 pm, stay as long as you like; we usually go on until at least midnight. Come in the back door (by the ramp) and up to the top floor, Room 206.
If you'd like more details, e-mail, or call 206-853-2513.

Why Room 206?
Well, my studio is located in what used to be the sixth grade classroom of what used to be the Ronald Elementary School. The Ronald School opened in 1906, and closed in the 70's, after which the building became the Shoreline Historical Museum. The museum has two rooms which it rents out, and I am very lucky to occupy one of them, Room 206. The teacher's name is still on the blackboard!

I dropped by a couple of times recently, to see what was up, but somehow missed this post, and the one for the last get-together too. I'm sorry I missed them. I know I would have enjoyed myself. I always do, and I learn so much in your company, Liisa. Thanks for all the inspiration, and for being such a generous teacher to me.
