I had a great time in Sewanee at my Shakerag workshop with Dolph Smith! Here are a few of the samples I made:
And here’s my book cover:
I used a jeweler’s saw to slice the walnut and a dremel to cut the bark pattern. Thanks to Sheila for showing me how to use the saw, thank to Pat for the walnut ink and thanks to Dolph for cutting the hole in the center!

ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #12: I dropped kosher salt into wet watercolor paint; after the paint dried, I scraped off the salt grains, and they left this pattern behind.
I have exciting news! I’ve been selected to be in the Nashville airport’s Flying Solo Exhibition Series; next September I’ll be filling this case, which is 18 feet wide! Lauren Kussro’s work is there now; isn’t it fabulous?
