The Big 300!

I'm happy to share the news that today I hit 300 sales in my Etsy shop!

My 300th buyer turned out to be Cheryl from Holden Tees, who had the space next to me at Crafty Wonderland on Sunday! She bought two of my egg ornaments for Easter! She will also be receiving a free Mandala Suncatcher.

I love how all of Cheryl's shirts are made using drawings done by her six-year old son, like this one - so cute:So please check out the Holden Tees shop! They even donate 15% of all profits to Llewellyn Elementary's parent-led art program, which, as far as I know, is modeled after the parent-led art program at Duniway, in which I was involved for many years. Small world!

Mural approved!

Even though my kids have graduated from Duniway Elementary School, I am pleased to announce that I have been hired by Duniway's after school program to lead a group of students in creating a mandala mural this fall. I pitched my idea to the staff last week and was just given the green light.

The above picture is from a project I did with Tangereen's Campfire troupe when she was in fourth grade, for the Duniway Foundation Auction. I'm really looking forward to creating a large scale mandala to permanently adorn one of the best elementary schools in Portland. I will post photos of the project here as it progresses.
