    Idea [I] WINNERS for Blog Topic #10!

    The Artella Staff has voted on their favorite post for Blog Topic 10, on the topic of "Until Recently, I never knew..."

    Blog Topic #11 is open through this Sunday, April 13.

     

    Week #10 Topic: "Until recently, I never knew..."

    For this week's Blog Topic, post in your blog completing the thought above.  As always, you can interpret this theme in any way you wish.

    The Artella Staff has selected two winners - a post by non-Artella staff, and an "in-house" favorite post by a staff colleague.  Both winning posts win the prize of their choice of enrollment in one of the following e-courses: The Gratitude Garland, Artsy Envel-Hopes, or Miracle Soup.

    The Favorite Posts Are:

     

    - Kristin, for this post in her blog "Write Out Loud".  Here are a few comments about her post from Artella staff members:

     

    Well-written and thought provoking, Kristin's post stirred memories of my own experiences in school. I also enjoyed the number of comments to her post. A complicated issue to be sure.

    This was a very thought provoking post and it brought forth some good discussion in the comments.

    This makes me think again about whether to school or to unschool my children.

     

    - The favorite staff post goes to Constance for this post in her blog "The Bates MoTella"  Here are a few comments about her post from Artella staff members:

     

    Constance Bates is a Creative Genius.

    She surely has my vote for next President of the USA... can't wait to hear how she will use her Kaleidoscopic vision to save our nation.

    Constance just cracks me up!

     

    Congratulations to Kristin and Constance!

    "Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that it is. In the boredom and pain of it no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and the heart of it because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace." ~Frederick Buechner

    Hello, Cheryl.  Yes, I understand your sentiments!  BTW, the background on your blog is wonderful; did you make it? And I love that graphic you placed at the end of your post.  Clearly, you're very artful!

    Hi Sooz! Thanks for your kind words. The background for my blog is a piece of my handmade paper with has been embossed on old textured fabric printing blocks, over dyed with watercolor dyes, brushed with crayon resist, and generally played with. It is called Evening Sunset."  It's from my book "The Art of Handmade Paper and Collage, which is now out of print (because when I got sick and couldn't continue to teach and promote it the publisher let it lapse). Copies of the book are around on Amazon.com if you are interested. Anyway - thanks so much. Cheryl dancing cat
