CraftSummer classes are usually loaded with people who have to get home to families, but this time was different. And very committed hard work, in order to get such a project really finished in five days. We had our painting of Dad's Chair in the faculty show at CraftSummer. It's a big piece made earlier this year after Daddy died. We hadn't wanted to have to drive one of our real 3-D chairs down to the gallery, so we sent our stitched painting of a chair.
People can work on a table, box, shelves, chair, whatever.
Then, when we actually teach, we can work on whatever piece of furniture fits into our Trooper. After CraftSummer, it was time for Tarot Art Camp, the first of its kind. Elizabeth Cherry Owen, from Baton Rouge and sitting next to Jimmy, organized this special topic camp, so that she and friends interested in Tarot cards could come and make art together with us. Kerris Skyye, from Dayton, and Charlotte Porter, from New Orleans, were the two friends of Issie who joined her and us. Here she models the vintage apron I found her, finally, for her late birthday present.
