Woohoooo!

Dixie's agreed to offer her Izzy class one more time! 

(Click on that first sentence to go to the site where it's offered.)

If you never took this online class but wish you had while she was offering it, now's your chance.  I did, last summer, and aside from her patient teaching, I have benefited greatly from the continued support from the Izannah Walkers Workshop site.

Even if Izannah Walker dolls are not your thing, the principles you learn in this class can lead you to your OWN special cloth and clay dolls--I can think of three or four doll artists who make wonderful unique dolls with their own "voice" who started with this class.

Seriously wonderful class.  I highly recommend it!

Tuesday's Treasury

In the nine months or so I've had an Etsy shop, I've only made one other treasury.  But I was really new then, and they didn't have the cool feature that told all those people who'd been included THAT they'd been included.  So you had a lot of extra work to do, letting everyone in on the secret.  Not so these days.  SOOO to that end, I made another one.  Partly because I have been enjoying the recent introduction to a lot of primitive folk artists, and partly because I'm fed up with summer and jonesing for Fall, big time.

The other day, I noticed the tiniest bit of autumn scenting the early morning air, and told the hubs "Fall is on its way!"  He looked at me with that way he has; "Um, dear, the thermostat says it's 80 degrees out at 5:30 in the morning.  What makes you think Fall is going to arrive soon?" 

And I could only fall back on the reply I used to give my kids when I could think of nothing better: "Because I said so!"  Enjoy the folkart, and if you find something you really like, share the love!  (I personally plan to buy some candles...soon.)

Because I said so!
