Open Studios, a Class and an Upcoming Exhibit

Honesty

Day One of Open Studios went really well. I decided to teach people how to make little books with my promotional postcard and my day went by super fast! Lots of great friends, family and neighbors came by. I really enjoyed teaching the kids, the adults too… but the kids are so interesting. They have lots of different ways of doing things that get the same results. I so appreciate this opportunity to learn and be taught by them. I want to connect with other people and build relationships and this is definitely a way to do just that.

    Hi Leah, i happened upon your website which I am finding very interesting and also
    discovered my name in your list of artists! Have we met? I love your little book “Green
    Blue Landscape”. I do collage so I really relate! It’s great to know that you do classes.
    thanx,
    Judy

    Hi Leah! I love how you’ve used the binding from our class in your books! I just saw the one you sent to Kelly, and it’s lovely. I was posting a photo of you on my blog and came over to get your address to add a link, and smiled remembering our time in February!
    Have a wonderful day,
