Prep day
This weeks major to do list:
- Finalize COMPAS /WAITS application for teaching art quilting residencies in schools
- Make crayon bags, bracelets and rings for the Textile Center Shop Jury application
- Make messenger bag for the kids school fundraiser
----------------------------------------------------------
- Application says "summarize your experience (artistically, teaching and other) and describing why you wish to work with children through this program."
My response, last part of very long paragraph 3:
Since beginning teaching professionally I have learned from each one of my experiences. Many situations relied on quick thinking and prior
experience to come up with a favorable outcome. Not every situation has afforded me the luxury of a perfect outcome but I believe those experiences have made me a better teacher.
See why I have to work on this... It's like vomit on paper!

2. Bags, Bracelets and Rings (oh my)!
Crayon Bags: done!
I made a different "model" this time. The one on top is made for larger crayons so the littlest of budding artists can enjoy them too.
I started my painting of the paper I laminate for the bracelets. See here for tutorial. This time I added oil and chalk pastels to the line-up of materials I use to create the design on the paper
Ring tops are done for the most part. Just need to attach seam binding for the band. But I need to check inventory and pick the prettiest!

3. I made some with no pattern for Articulture in September and I am hoping I can recreate one without having to rip out all the mistakes I may make. Very similar to the artist sketch bag I made but bigger and no pencil pockets.
Only 3 days left to achieve this with three teaching jobs, two sick kids and a partridge in a pear tree!
