Thanks to my awesome daughter, I'm saved again.... completely spent after a day preparing for and teaching my first Image Transfer Techniques Class at the Lawrence Arts Center, I am ill prepared for this evening's post and she came through! Drawn in Astronomy class in the margins of her math notebook, we bring you Arachnadia or Beetaliss or Insectavia... don't you think the stiff sleeves look like ravenous creature appendages? and... there's some Pipi Longstocking-esque thing going on there with the freckles too....

Here is a drypoint etching from tonight; our last class for winter session "Print Beginnings" at LAC with the fabulous Artist-in Residence: Carla!  I can't believe it's been 8 weeks already, this was the most fun ... something to look forward to every week.  Everyone in the class was so outgoing, silly, curious about printing, friendly.. you name it! Sorry it's over is alls I can say.
