Book & Paper Arts Calendar Updates - Jul 8, 2017
Hello everyone,
Hot and sweaty summer is upon us - stay cool and don't forget the sunscreen. I use a powdered brush-on sunscreen for my face that is available in both SPF 30 (https://tinyurl.com/y9afjutf) and SPF 50 (https://tinyurl.com/l5zttx4). I'll just remain sticky everywhere else :)
I found a website that will show you how to make cards. Sign up for free - https://tinyurl.com/y7pgtymr
I also found a "Paper Structures: Book Arts Unfolded" workshop (https://tinyurl.com/yaaggxpz) that meets weekly for 3 hours for 30 weeks on Tuesdays - September 19, 2017 to June 26, 2018. Unfortunately it is in Bristol, UK but what an adventure that would be! Nine months in another country - can you imagine the mail hold on that time away and explaining it to your local post master?
I added some traveling workshops with Rachel Hazell (towards the bottom of the new workshops). I am waiting for her Isle of Iona and Shetland Lighthouse workshops to be scheduled - you travel to the remote places in Scotland, make books, go beachcombing and have afternoon tea. Talk about planes, trains, automobiles and ferries!
Here's a tip - if you have an extra long URL and would like to provide a shorter version of it, copy and paste your long URL to tinyurl.com
Here are some upcoming classes in the LA area, San Francisco (SF) and along the west coast (it could be a day-long adventure, make a weekend or whole vacation out of it!).

If you know of anyone else who would like to get this calendar let me know. Conversely if you no longer wish to be on this list let me know as well.
