The Portfolio Show!

It was very nice at Benaroya Hall. (Although my balcony photography was not too steady.)

I did get business cards from several & had some wonderful, reassuring chats.
PLUS the bonus of another leather key ring to put with the shell on my fanny pack - SCORE!

Jason Welter - Nice young man too.
Eccentric & Artistic.

Visual Explanation Illustration Project

I am afraid that I have been hit by a cold (which wouldn't be so bad If it wasn't for my asthma.)
My equilibrium  is challenging.
I am not sure if I will be able to make it to school Monday (expect me when you see the bloodshot whites of my eyes - you never know!)

But I have loaded my project onto my website:

It was fun expanding it, let me know if the Spanish is accurate.

many thanks,

A Century of Girls Growing Strong!

With courage, confidence & character... 

As a Lifetime member of Girl Scouts, it seemed to be appropriate to do an illustration of our Founder; Juliette Gordon Low.
Our national website lists this article about her history.
[ http://www.girlscouts.org/who_we_are/history/low_biography/ ]

When?

When Did Communism Become an American Dream?

Celebrity Photo?

I have decided that being the Centennial Anniversary of Girl Scouts - 

Juliette Gordon Low should be my choice.
