WELCOME!
MANILA ENVELOPES
Four welcoming envelopes I created for the students
The welcome packets for my upcoming sculpture class in August are finished and ready to mail out to my four special students. Since we will be sculpting lots of faces, I used my sculpted and painted faces as the basis for the manila envelopes. Now for the task of deciding which envelope to send to which student? I think I will use my intuition on this decision.
I used an image of one of my tall standing sculptures and eyes of another one
I loved the picture of the columns so added one of my sculptures and mysterious face
Magazine images, stamps and image of one of my paintings
Labyrinth from my laundryroom plus faces and sculptures
In addition to our sculpture class, I was able to lock in several exciting visiting guests. Lisa Plummer of “Groggy Froggy” fame, has agreed to teach the class her method of Soul Collage. Also, Rudy Sanders, spectacular drummer, will teach a class in drumming with a drumming ceremony to follow. Ella, water aerobic instructor extraordinaire, will give us a water work out one afternoon. I was also lucky enough to have Patrick Beale agree to give each student one of his spectacular Swedish based massages. Patrick has been a masseuse for over 15 years and believe me, you will feel pampered and relaxed after one of his sessions. I have one more opening left in the class so if you have been hesitating, now is the time to check out the details by clicking here
I'm heading for the post office right now. Sure hope the students like them!

Hello Cheryl! My attention was caught on the title of your post. You mentioned the word "Manila" the capital city of my country.
ReplyDeleteI always believe that being an educator is one of the most novel profession in the world. The impact and role of educator is something money can't even pay. You are a good artist and at the same time you have the heart to extend your talent to different people.
Amazing envelopes Cheryl, your students will love to receive them, letters are much more fun to receive in an art envelope, love them.
