art center college of design pasadena

A  full class! My Papier mache college teaching gig was a huge success at Pasadena Art Center College of Design. I've been posting most of my stories on Instagram these days since it's a more direct way to document in these fast moving times ... but I'll try to keep the blog alive this year! Maybe the corona virus will slow things down with all the cancellations/closures and people will go back to drinking tea and reading blogs! Ha haaa! Stay well and enjoy this little yellow bootie dude,blue deer, animal band, stretchy calico cat and cake. I always wish I had taken more photos of the student art. There are too many good ones that got away
