field trip!

Yesterday, me and some of my collage class took a trip to the Newberry Library to see the Annual Exhibition of the Chicago Calligraphy Collective.

It was a little drizzley, but a pleasant and fun day.  The exhibit was very inspiring and we thoroughly enjoyed it!  It runs through June 27th.

After viewing the show and stopping in the gift shop there, we headed on down the street for lunch  at our favorite Thai restaurant, Panang.  Yum!

Loved being with these gals, enjoying our lunch choices and conversation.  

Then, on down the street again to Paper Source!  More fun!

Happy

How happy are you when a student is excited about her collage?  Happy happy!

 

Cynthia's finishing process on Monday.

 

A beautiful summer sunset...

 

Beautiful colors, movement, texture, and even foam from the waves flowing over the sand.

 

We're happy!

Our beautiful ballerina

At last...

Finished!  Finally finished two collage pieces that I have been working on and waiting for my muse to visit.  This one is my reminder of the day last month that I was at the dunes.

And here is a memory of Perrault Falls, Canada, at Sleepy Dog Cabins, where I went with Julie to pick up Brent the summer after he graduated from college.

 

High hopes to accomplish much this summer!

The Day of Poetry

Our annual Poetry Luncheon was May 21st at The Center.  It was a beautiful day, as it is every year on this May day and Lois welcomed everyone. 

 

MaryAnn began with an introduction to our poetry.

We had a lovely crowd of listeners.  And there's me!
