Fairy Tale Tower

In a search for Design Challenges I found fairy tale challenges here: momgineer.blogspot.com
Students will get a kick out of this Tower Challenge.  They need to design an escape.  I made the towers to get them charged up for a creative escape route.

NAEA Boston 2019

NAEA Boston 2019.  I was lucky, both of my proposals for workshops were accepted again.  Writing them was a lot more challenging this time.  Embroidery on Paper & Journaling by Chance. The ticketed events were sold out and the participants were amazing! I regret not taking more photos.  As usual, I tried to cram too much in the short hour and 50 minutes.  Participants should get their money's worth.
