Paola Prints was juried into the flagship show of the American Craft Council, held February 17-21, at the Baltimore Convention Center. Seemed wise to walk the show this year and make plans for 2017-as I’d never been to it. It was fun! It was good to compare it with my visit to NY NOW a couple weeks ago. I met lots of talented artists and all around good people. Related Images:

Tuesday, February 9, 2016 is Carnevale! Carnevale is an ancient celebration that goes back to the Middle Ages. Of course, I’m a fave of the Italian version.

My favorites were always the ones with hidden pictures or comparing seemingly similar photos, trying to find the ways they were different. Related Images:
