Guess what is ready to ship! My biz partner Christine just got her first shipment of “Secrets” in. She’ll be sending them out next week. She’s busy adding the signed bookplates and the Artist Cards as we speak.

If you’re interested in having a special edition “Secrets of Rusty Things” you can visit the online site here http://www.theartistsnook.net/p-secretsofrustythings.shtml

If you happen to be in Idyllwild, California this July, you may have a chance to take a class with past guest, Michael de Meng. Michael will be teaching assemblage classes in three sessions at Idyllwild Arts. Session I (Holy Rolling Hot Wheels) will take place on July 16th, Session II (Trash to Treasure: Assemblage Alchemy) will take place on July 17th and 18th, and Session III (Mad Hatter’s Tea Party) will take place on July 19th and 20th.

My birthday is on July 20th, so I wish I can treat myself to one of Michael’s classes….but maybe next time *sigh*. But if you’re lucky enough to be in the area and if you’re interested in one of Michael’s sessions, you can find out more at the Idyllwild Arts web site. Enrollment is limited so you should act fast.

Angelia Armstrong, owner of Red Thread Studio and a past guest will be at the An Occasion for the Arts show in Williamsburg, Virginia, this weekend on October 1st. If you’re in the area, be sure to visit her at her booth? Angelia was a guest on the “So You Want to Own a Gallery?” episode.
