Hi Everyone! I am sorry that I haven't been very good about getting new pieces up on my website for you to look at and drool over. I promise after the Tucson show, I will be putting up a dozen or two!! I did way too many shows last year and got a little crazy!! Took almost two months to relax!! But, I have relaxed and am now experimenting with a whole bunch of new techniques and Tonya (of Whole Lotta WHimsy) and I are finally starting to write our book. We have a publisher and graphic designer and we are already working on our first couple of chapters!! Speaking of books, I am on the front cover of Tim Mc Creight's new book, PMC Technic. I wrote a chapter on the stenciling and Tim surprised me with the front cover!! Needless to say, I am very excited! I was also included in the exhibit that TIm curated for the Ornamental Museum in Memphis for SNAG. It was based on the PMC Decade book that Tim had put together and I had the honor of being included. I hope to meet some of you in my classes and at the shows. I have pared down my show schedule to 3 0r 4 shows, maybe 5, but that is all! I am planning on concentrating on my book and teaching and my website (be sure to keep an eye out for my new page with finished pieces on it for ideas and purchases.). Come by and say hello! ANd to all of you who have taken the time to write to me, Thank You! Have a great year! Kelly
