I've added a link to Sawshub where you can get more information on DIY wood projects.</i></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">I have thought for years that it is a waste of wood palettes only to be used to lift "better" product via the forklift. Surely this workhorse item, breaking its back day after day, month after month, year after year, could be recognized for more than its eternal functionality and outward awkwardness? An ugly duckling of sorts that blossoms into its gorgeous, understated personality. A mere glimpse at others' transformation on Les Bulles de Miluccia's blog had me running to our garage looking for leftover items to create my own palette beauty.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">With cool outdoor furniture being way too expensive for our budget right now (thus deemed unnecessary), I set out to create an "unnecessary" but very much wanted (by me) cocktail table for our backyard stone terrace. And keeping with the DIY attitude of our yard (my husband slaved over setting the heavy flagstone pavers for both a front and back terrace last summer), my idea for a palette table fit right in. My goal was to purchase as little as possible to make our new terrace table. I used the free wood palette that I acquired, four leftover 4" wheels from a chrome wire Costco shelving unit, and eight 20" lengths of Tigerwood leftover from the construction of our deck two years ago. I purchased a 3' x 4' sheet of galvanized metal ($20) and a few dozen stainless wood nails and screws (about $10 total) to put the whole thing together. Here is my final result ~ which I am thrilled with, I must say! As well as the inspiration that got me there.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Yes, technology evolves just as my work does. But, technology is winning and still waaay ahead of me. I know you are in the same boat, we all are, so I don't come down too hard on myself. I still have my original website, <a href="http://designhouse-arch.com/">designhouse-arch.com</a> for my architectural and interior design; however, it's no longer up to date with recent projects. My second website created a <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">few</span> years ago, <a href="http://allbrainarts.com/">allbrainarts.com</a>, encompasses both my design work <i>and</i> artwork, including some student work from my classes . . . although, that site is missing some of my older, and still important, design projects. Well, for now, I have a new art website featuring my encaustic art and as of this very moment, it is up to date!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Oh wait . . . I just finished a piece today that has not been photographed.

It suggests tailoring
designs to the capabilities of the existing labor pool there, rather
than produce schemes that could not easily be realized. Makes sense for wherever, right? "These projects
are examples of quality design and construction in China for two
reasons. First, the intended material applications are compatible with
the available means for construction, and the construction techniques
almost always offer dimensional tolerances that are forgiving of
contractor variation." Some beautiful results. Now can it be done cost
effectively, too?<br />

your art groove on, explore and expand your creative juices in a fun,
relaxed, and non-competitive atmosphere ~ no art experience necessary!
Join me in one or more of my upcoming creative classes that I will be
teaching at my studio in the warehouse district of Boulder:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><em><strong>The Basics of Encaustic Stenciling</strong></em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u><span class="underline">Tuesday, 23 June, 6-8:30 pm</span></u><br />
Encaustic is an aromatic painting technique using a mixture of beeswax,
resin and pigment which is kept molten on a heated palette and applied
to an rigid surface. In this creative class we will explore several
methods of stenciling incorporating typography, line and shape to
creative a finished piece of artwork. $75 includes all materials.*</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><em><strong>"An Altered Reality" </strong></em><strong>:</strong><strong>:</strong><em><strong> Altered Books & Secret Lives</strong></em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u><span class="underline">Wednesday & Thursday, 1 & 2 July, 6-8:30 pm</span></u><br />
Altered Books is a mixed-media artwork that changes a book from its
original form into a different form, altering its appearance and
meaning. Altered book art is wide and vast with endless opportunities.
This two evening class gives you the basics of how to approach a book
project, teaches you the essentials of selecting the right type of book,
removing pages to make space for art, cutting, and adhering new images.
We will focus on utilizing the book's current text and images to
reflect our own lives and learning how to make secret spaces for private
stories. $150 includes an available book (you may also bring your own)
basic supplies and images. A list of additional items that you may want
to use and are free to bring only if you'd like will be supplied.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><em><strong>"Winey Women & Burying your Past" :: Encaustic Embedding Techniques</strong></em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u><span class="underline">Wednesday, 8 July, 6-8:30 pm</span></u><br />
Encaustic is an ancient art technique used for mummy portraits dating
back to the 1st Century BC and has gained recent popularity in
contemporary art, both figurative and abstract painting, as well as
mixed media. Using an aromatic mixture of beeswax, resin and pigment, we
will learn how to embed images, burying them deeper into the wax and
then scraping back to reveal only what we chose. Bring a couple of
copies of personal photos or items to embed into the artwork; old black
and white photos, copies of birth certificates, and cherished
correspondence help recreate your personal story. Bring your own wine if
you'd like ~ proper glasses provided! $75 includes all supplies except
personal images.*</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">*Still and bubble water are always supplied for free. Please feel at liberty to bring wine to any class if you are 21 or older.</span><br />

In order to for future elementary and
secondary educators to generate arts integrated lessons, I researched about
three dozen websites that had cross content and art integrated lesson plans.
Most incorporate only one form of art so as educators we’ll need to combine
lessons and/or expand the lessons on our own to incorporate more CRISPA
aspects. I have separated the websites that I thought the most helpful in two
categories. The first grouping contains sites that have easily navigable lesson
plans ideas where you typically can put in a content area, such as math or
science for instance, and then select an art form that you would like to
integrate <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">although</i> some sites only
have visual or language art integration and not music, theatre and dance. The
second grouping is not a list of “go to” sites with an <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">abundance</i> of specific lesson plans, but nonetheless are valuable
resources providing tips and strategies for art integration and multi-sensory
education.</div>

artists, ideas, and themes being explored in art today, and encouraging them to
interpret these ideas for individual student needs. The Educators Guide and
additional online content introduce opportunities for critical thinking and
creative problem solving relevant to middle-school, high-school, and college
students. The content can be easily adapted for younger or older groups. Guides
include additional information about each of the artists, as well as Before
Viewing, During Viewing, and After Viewing questions and suggestions for

By the time there were walls, people were writing on them; from the caves of Lascaux to the modern day defacement of property. Graffiti <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i>style</i></span> has taken hold and has become mainstream so why not embrace it and take the opportunity to educate children on the history and the respectful use of the art form?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
In my last week's summer art camp graffiti class we focused on the history of graffiti in
America and the ability to draw in a bold and simplified manner. The
kids produced personal and stunning work with creative lettering that
incorporated the basics of perspective and isometric drawing. We worked
on both small scale personal work and large scale murals emphasizing
community & collaboration.<br />

Crayola makes some beautiful colors in their watercolor paints that seem to last a bit longer than some other brands. The end result was really nice.</span></span><br />

They are beginning to assert their independence and test their boundaries with each other. My mentor teacher was going to be out for a day and I had to come up with a one day project quick. I really wanted something that would be a group project so they could practice working as a group and give them more of a sense of community while still giving them freedom of expression and personal choice. I also wanted to incorporate some math and history. So, I went out looking for ideas and came across this <a href="http://www.artprojectsforkids.org/2013/01/paper-quilts.html" target="_blank">paper quilt project.</a></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This turned out to be the perfect project and one of the kids all time favorite. We had been working on creating patterns in the previous project and talked about how we see patterns in nature as well as our behavior so the goal was to create their own patterns within the given framework of the three sections the protractor created on each quarter square.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The kids got more and more excited as they saw their community quilt come together. They worked harder, got along, and praised each other for the good work they were doing. Afterwards, I took photos of each "quilting bee's" quilt and laminated miniature versions of them to hand out to each one of the kids.</span></span><br />

After chatting briefly about their interest in architecture I showed them a quick Prezi presentation on some unconventional architecture for inspiration. Various well- and lesser-known architects' work was featured as well as some finalists from a futuristic skyscraper competition. This really got them excited. For our first project, the kids sketched a cityscape from their imagination based upon the style of <a href="http://jamesrizzi.com/" target="_blank">James Rizzi</a> from a lesson plan that I found <a href="http://www.deepspacesparkle.com/2012/02/03/james-rizzi-skyscraper-art-lesson/" target="_blank">here</a>. Due to their different developmental stages and interests, I gave them a bit more freedom of choice in their colors and design elements than this lesson indicates. A few completed the project so we'll finish up this week and move on to other elements of an architect's job. Here are the completed ones:</span></span><br />

Having recently finished a handmade paper project dyed with food such as spinach and beets with my second graders, I was ready to move on to dying eggs. I came across an article on natural dyes for Easter Eggs <a href="http://www.designsponge.com/2013/03/small-measures-naturally-dyed-eggs.html#more-169876" target="_blank">here</a></span></span> <span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">that intrigued me with the use of coffee grinds and red cabbage.</span></span> <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">So, my stepson (and partner in crime in all creative endeavors) and I chose coffee grounds, red cabbage, turmeric, & beets seen below:</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">The</span></span> biggest surprise was that the red cabbage actually turned the eggs a deep teal blue! What was also unexpected was that the beets only turned the eggs a pale peach with small spots of pink. I ended up leaving the eggs in the water all night because after 45 minutes of boiling, they still were very pale in color (although the red cabbage eggs were a lovely shade of a bright robin eggs blue at that time). In the morning, the coffee grounds did turn the shell a strong brown although the color seemed to flake off more easily than the other colors. All of the eggs seemed to have a crystallized finish to them.</span></span><br />

I wish she lived here in Colorado instead of Atlanta so we could make things together. She's a talented graphic artist, seamstress, an incredible cook, and has been inspiration to me since I met her twenty-five years ago. Aren't the eggs gorgeous?<br />
