Getting Ready for Fall

Hello Folks,

So much has been happening that I can barely keep up!  I worked for 6 weeks this summer teaching arts to kids at the Mill Street Loft's Dutchess Arts Camps.  We made art with a different theme each week.  The children were 5- 14.  I have done this every summer for the last 6 years, but the children's work never ceases to amaze me.  Here are some of thier paper Molas, a project based on Panamanian Indians sewn fabric designs.   I modified it into a layer project with paper, card stock and foam pieces.
