My grandma had a huge owl collection. I asked her once why she liked owls so much. She told me that she had a couple she liked and before she knew it everybody had decided she liked owls and she had a large collection.
Well for me it has become dragonflies. I think it evolved about the same. lol I liked them designed my website with them. Had a few things custom made with them and now they seem to be my thing.
I really enjoyed making this journal and love how it turned out.




I learned the carving technique in a class from Doris Arndt at Artfest in 2003.
I am looking forward to next year’s Artfest. The class list will be coming out soon. I just booked my condo.
Here are a couple journals I made using the techniques I learned in a class at this year’s Artfest in a class with Pam Sussman.
