Inspired by the prolific and wonderful work of artist Yashua Klos, in this art workshop participants used colored images of wood and stone to create a textural collage filled with illusion of shadow and depth.

Bobble Heads...

Artist Dave McKenzie inspired this bobble head postcard project with his collection of limited time offered bobble heads. In this workshop participants picked out a postcard and head. The drawing of the head (drawn by me, Élan) was colored, glued to cardstock and cut out. A small spring made of twisty wire was used to elevate the head from the postcard and gave it bouncy ability.
