Letter from the First Vice President Hi Ladies – I hope everyone enjoyed painting with Kathy Swigon. The bell pull had some very interesting aspects – it wasn’t as simple as it looked. And, what about those iridescent metallic we used! The faux finish on the box was interesting and I’ll be using that one again. Although I wasn’t able to finish my box, I’ll have a nice gift box for someone when it’s done. Our workshop scheduled for May 7 th is ‘Non-traditional Strokework’, taught by Lee Fasnacht. This is a very unique project that is painted on an unusual surface – a rolling pin – but the design can easily be adapted to many other surfaces. I believe it would look great on a box lid or a picture frame. With your creativity, I’m sure you’ll be anxious to try your hand with this one. In June, we will be painting ‘Mr. Pelican’ taught by Pat Smelkoff. For those of you who don’t know Pat, she is one of our past Presidents, a published author of painting books and many magazine articles, and a very experienced teacher. I believe we will all learn something new from Pat and also painting this project. Sign-ups for all of these Workshops are now being taken. You can always contact me by email (rcm0335@gmail.com) or phone (386-447-1923), if you have any questions. See you at our May 7 th class, if not before. Ruth McDonald First Vice President
