ATC @ Bishan Library June 2013

This was a somewhat special ATC session - for one, it was held a week earlier than the usual, everyone produced the most delightful and colourful ATCs and it was the last ATC session that I am hosting for now.

I will be headed overseas to work from July onwards, and I have to be away next week, so everyone was lovely in agreeing to move this month's session forward by a week.
For the crafting session, we were inspired by Barbara Reid's illustration and so got to trying using plasticine to create ATCs.

We have grown into a wonderful and supportive community. Many has stepped forward to help continue to make the ATC sessions happen. Join them on 11 July at 6.30 pm, Bishan Library.

Artsy Send Off

Over this long weekend, it was heartwarming spending time with friends who have so kindly met up to give me their best wishes before I head off to Bandung.

Besides the wonderful company, there was good food, unique gifts and heartfelt words.


Thank you my friends from SF and ATC, you have been a blessing to me in more ways than I might have been able to say.

InterWEave

Happy to be featured in Emergenetics International-Asia's InterWEave newsletter for this month. It's about my work with schools using the Student-Teacher Emergenetics Profile (STEP).

IF - Future

The future will hold the new, and with a good dose of the old I suspect.

A*Live @ Bishan Library May 2013

It was punches and stamps at tonight's ATC meet - nothing violent of course.

While most of us were just amassing stuff to be used in the future, Ellen did make an instant winner on the spot.

And Vicki shared her handmade stamps and also ATCs she made with them.

Of course, there were also new ATCs, including those on the theme of "Yesterday".

Notice Melissa's series of ATCs tracing all the different techniques we have tried out in the recent months?
This has been a simple and exciting session.

Next month, we will meet on 6 June which is a week sooner than usual. Do note the change of date. As for theme: "Whatever makes you happy".
See you!

Letterpress in Action

This video featuring the person behind the Letterpress Workshop I recently attended just came freshly off the press.
