I just finished my new sample for my little red cap class in November.<div> I have been so busy lately, I have several projects on various tables around the house. As I wait for glue or paint to dry on one project I move around to the next one in no particular order, happily making away, but feeling that I can't quite catch up and not wanting to let down any of the wonderful people who trust me to design, teach and create for them. </div>Caron Dunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09193530623659514912noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4064562806296820563.post-77803434273535801682014-09-14T15:46:00.000-07:002014-09-14T15:46:33.866-07:00First class of the season!<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

I love the Autumn. The sun is lower in the sky and the evenings are so beautifully lit, as if Maxwell parish had arranged the entire thing.<br />
Yesterday was my first class of the season at Castle in the air.<br />
And it was a wonderful welcome back after the summer. Such a fabulous group. I am so very fortunate to cross paths with such lovely people. We talked and laughed and ate macaroons and lemon cake and in the meantime we made needle felted Fraidy cats.<br />
<br />
I'm always a little nuts before the first class. I pack up the kits for each person and then when normal folks would sit back and have a glass of wine, I attempt to stuff my entire studio in to the car. I try to think of everything I might possibly need that day which is truly bonkers as my poor little ADD brain<br />
Is constantly heading down blind alleys and chasing wild geese. Still, I'm ok with it, I have come to appreciate the benefits of my particular "issues" now that I work for myself and can arrange things to work for me. I try to fit the world to me instead of thinking I'm somehow broken. And my life has become a much better place to be because of it.<br />
Nicho class is next on Wednesday, filling up boxes as I write this, do you think I might need to bring a table saw for this one?<br />
<br />
By the way.........CASTLE IN THE AIR is having a <b>40% </b>off sale on CP SHADES summer clothing, the loveliest silk and softest, finest linen . You are lovely, treat yourself!<br />

I'm really looking forward to teaching this class, I figured out several simple but realistic forms and armatures. Dug out my lovely silk and linen scraps stash and I feel as though I could make so many different groups with all the lovely velvets, silks and ribbons.<br />

Watercolor techniques class is tomorrow so today I will spend every moment preparing and packing up the car. I love to teach this class. People who have been interested in watercolor and intimidated by the technical side get to work hands on with the best quality materials and feel the magic happen for themselves. I teach this way because like most creative types I understand better when I do, also I just totally love it when people go OOH! and WOW! the way they do when color moves them, as it's supposed to do.Caron Dunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09193530623659514912noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4064562806296820563.post-63984006633885737002012-08-07T11:27:00.003-07:002012-08-17T23:35:12.205-07:00Mixed Media FeltHere are the Photos from last wednesdays mixed media needle felting class.<br />

A portable portal to hope and protection, and even though I gave up my catholic faith when I was a child, as all lapsed catholics know, it never really goes away. That love of ritual sticks like glue. So to indulge my interest, and memory, I'm teaching a class in retablo construction at castle in the air this fall. not exactly traditional methods but very accessible and transferable to any use you wish. here's my sample.<br />

I start with a nice wooden box then I carve out a space in the top to take a nice old steel engraving. Then I add some watch parts and fill the cavity with resin. I have to leave it a few days to set completely.<br />

The grapevines draped over the hills in all their green finery, the queen anne's lace along the side of the road waving in the evening breeze..... and I was struck by what a beautiful place this is. <br />
The heat is settling in to the valleys and just beginning to turn the grass golden. Red wing blackbirds are noisily keeping guard of their nests. It reminds me of the year we spent on a farm when I was a kid, in the summer lying in a wheat field surrounded by the buzz of nature and an impossibly blue sky.<br />

Painting this tiny is very time consuming and poses all kinds of challenges that I hadn't anticipated when I began. But anyone who knows me knows I live to learn and I really enjoy the miniature format. This will be my 6th pen for this company. You can see finished pens as well as stunning vintage and antique pens at penopoly.com</span><br />
