Candy Corn Frames

This craft was a big hit.  I surely thought they would have eaten a lot more of the candy, but perhaps parents had their say...the kids loved creating these frames. I love being able to build these budding artists up when they ask for my approval of their work.

Googly-Eyed Frames

At the Niles Library today the children had a blast designing their frames.  They loved the googly-eyes, and as you'll see, they were used in abundance!!  I love the use of colors, patterns, and all those eyes.  Very creative bunch today!

Art Around the World-Belarus

Today, two groups of children learned about Belarus and the art the country is famous for.  Much time and dedication by these little artists created beautiful results!  The children loved learning about the country as much as they did doing the art.  Five more countries to go!

Fall Pumpkin Designs

Everyone enjoyed creating their own Fall Masterpiece from a faux pumpkin and supplies.

Middle East Reflections in Pleasanton

Art Around The World has started at the Plesanton Library. Two groups of children enjoyed creating a cultural piece of art today.  Much time and consideration was put into the placing of the metallic colored papers and sequins to create each of their pieces.  The end results were beautiful, and we had two rooms filled with happy artists!

Adult Scrapbooking Class

We had a great day at the San Lorenzo Library as I taught a few patrons how to scrapbook.  One gentlman came ready and eager to learn everything he could.  He asked a lot of questions and took notes as I spoke about the fine art of scrapbooking.  Another woman scrapbooked her love firsts, making an album of her relationship, while another woman came unprepared, so she made a page to take home and add a picture too.  Thank you, Diana, for having me.
