Reason #1, Festivals

PicMonkey Collage
One of my favorite summer Indiana activities: going to festivals.

On June 9, the Indieana Handicraft Xchange at the Harrison Center for the Arts was THE place to be. There were more than 100 artists, live music, local craft beer, and raffle prizes. Some of my favorite vendors....The Paper Acorn (pictured above) , The Cordial Kitten, and Sara B. Jewelry. I also loved the Crimson Tate booth. It just so happens that she has a new shop on Mass. Ave. If you love to sew, quilting or otherwise, her fabric selection is amazing!

 

If you missed Indieana Handicraft Xchange, you can always swing by Homespun Modern Handmade. It is a little shop in Irvington that carries many of the vendors from the show. 

 

Other festivals that I look forward to this summer...

Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Hall of Fame and Uncle Pen Days Festival

First Grade, Lesson 2: Line Review This lesson is a lot of work in the beginning, but is visually stunning in the end. The students are reviewing the art element: Line. Additionally, they are learning complex pattern, repetition, and two new lines. I begin by drawing an animal on 18"x24" drawing paper. If I need to, I will piece four of these together to make it bigger. I cut around the animal and then cut it into pieces. Each piece is labeled on the back, close to the edge of the piece. I write the student's name, class and teacher, animal name and then two hash...
