Taking My Paper Mache to Texas- Part 2

Sorry I've been gone so long.  As I mentioned, I was a keynote speaker at the Texas Art Education Association Convention in Galveston, Texas.   It went very well.   I had a very enthusiastic, happy, fun crowd to work with.   Just great people.   They laughed at all of my  juvenile humor.  As soon as they laughed at the paper mache piggie sniffing the paper mache birdie's butt, I knew I was in the right place.   And the workshop went well despite some mix up regarding supplies.   I just want to thank publicly the president of the TAEA, Cheryl Evans, and the president elect, Linda Fleetwood for inviting me,  and Joey Doyle, and Drew and Mike, and Gary for all their help.  There were others too, so many I can't name them all.  It was a grand event.   It was taped, and I've been told that the hour long speech will eventually end up on the association's website.  I'll let you know if that happens.
I just hope that many of these art teachers will go back to their schools and do paper mache with their students.  The kids need it.  I see a paper mache resurgence.
But now I'm just itching to get back to work!  I have my paper mache Dark Butterfly piece waiting for me.  She's been patient, but every day that goes without working on her, the more I risk her wrath.   I promise to post updates as soon as I get home.
