Barbara Bechtel's Woodland Still Life

Artist Barbara Bechtel was kind enough to send me some images of her finished woodland still life that she started in my workshop last week. It turned out wonderfully! I love how she added several other elements like a vintage found ceramic bird, text, and more mushrooms and a snail made from polymer clay! Thank you, Barbara!

Weekend Workshop...

A big thank you to the fun and talented group of women who participated in my workshop on Saturday! I couldn't have asked for a more patient or supportive group for my first workshop! I'm afraid I didn't get photos of everyone or their completed projects- so please send me some images if you have time! Thank you also to the kind Flatiron Studio mates for helping and hosting- especially Teresa Roche! xo
