Leaves, Two Peas In A Bucket, and Fontwerks.
She
is happily working this year on the editorial

opportunity to illustrate the "Freestyle"
book.
Paper,
digital, fabric, acrylic; no matter what the
medium, Tia enjoys doing it! A lifelong learner
and crafter, she enjoys the challenge to infuse
her designs with heartfelt energy, beauty, and
a pinch of the unexpected.

one thing" in a textile way...we will stitch
and doodle our way to self-discovery! We will

to you....)

Title:
"THE WHOLE ENCHILADA"
Description:
The Story Behind The Photo. We all have them...memories
embedded in the background of our pictures.
Memories of Aunt Mary's horrid couch pattern,
the coffee table with the chip in it from rough
housing with siblings long ago, the shirt we
loved to wear every day when we were 8 years
old.....those small pieces of memories all pieced
together in one seemingly insignificant photo.
This album will explore them all! We will use
ONE photo. One. I know...it sounds crazy. BUT.
That one photo will need to be enlarged and
CROPPED several different ways in several different
places on those pieces of the photo that hold
those pieces of memory. Then each page of the
book will explore those separate memories.....and
there you have it: The Whole Enchilada!
Bring
to Class: Basic
Tools, Glue Sticks, Ribbon Glue, Medium Glue
Dots, Stapler/Staples, Black Marker, Grey Marker,
White Gel Pen, 1 page torn from an old book
rich with text.
