Last night was our fifth and final printing and collage class. There was still some printing going on, but most people tried to put together a stitched composition. Barbara made some stuffed fish that are swimming with some one dimensional fish. Nicely done!

Adia had done several prints on pieces of canvas. She cut them up and started on a collage. We convinced her to remove some items.

Here is her final composition.

Liz helped her fussy cut her ferns.

The father and daughter duo, Scott and Tiffany, were hard at work.

Tiffany ended up with a composition featuring an elephant.

Marilyn was working on an underwater scene with colorful fish and water plants.

Ann ended up with a trio of birdy prints.

I really enjoyed teaching this class with my friend, Allan Oliver, but I am glad it is over. I came home, totally exhausted and in the worst pain. I woke up at 5 with pain and could not go back to sleep. I was at might wits end, but I had my STASH friends coming for our monthly get-together and lunch so I had to suck it up and get busy. We were chatting away when Mr C interrupted to tell me that Kaiser had called and wanted to schedule my knee replacement surgery. Who0pee!! I called them this afternoon and got all scheduled for May 9th. I could have gone the week before, but Mr C has a colonoscopy scheduled and I need to be able to drive him. I wonder if April is going to take forever or fly by!!

I am wondering if I can pull myself together to get two quilts done for upcoming shows since I will be out of commission for a bit. Stay tuned.
