EARTH DAY
-----------------------------------------------------------
I have been invited to participate in Earth Day activities this
Saturday, April 21st, at the Hummingbird Gallery in Arnprior,
Ontario. I will be demonstrating making wearable art from re-used/
recycled materials (collage pins made from painted mat board,
bracelets made from yarn and buttons, painted clothing).
If you are in or near the Arnprior area, the gallery opens at 11am,
and is located at 150 John Street North.

This is not quite on topic, but I just had to mention that I attended
a wonderful Il Divo concert last week. You can read more about it in
my blog:
