I often say "it speaks to my heart". This phrase is so appropriate for the new collections some of your favorite artists are now designing on our tinware. Lynne Andrews’ lovely "Bunny Box" pattern was added to our web site today. This is the first of a series of designs by her on our tin. She is also working on another new series: "Lynne Andrews Collection of Ornaments".

Shara Reiner’s "Angel Thyme Ornament Collection" painted on tin pieces made from her designs will début in June at the SDP Show. Also completed by Shara are two purses (tin of course), a large grain scale and a lunch pail; both antique reproductions. These will also début at the SDP Show in Peoria, IL.

When all of our new antique reproduction tin arrives it will be primed in a black gunmetal finish and ready to paint. You will love it! Sand it lightly to add tooth (sticking power), remove the dust and you are ready to paint. Updated Tin Preparations can be found on our web site soon.

In our May newsletter you can expect another sneak peek of more new projects by Rosemary West, Maxine Thomas, Trudy Beard, Darlene Ferrier, Debbie Cotton, Jane Allen, Susan Mynyk, Debby Forshey-Choma and Lynne Andrews. These designers definitely think with their hearts and their designs make our heart sing!

IMPORTANT NOTE
None of the new tin or new designs will be for sale before the SDP Show in June. (However, Lynne Andrews “Bunny Box” pattern and tin are available for sale now.)

SEMINARS
I have resumed travel teaching and new seminar samples will be available soon.

Seminar travel expenses can be saved for seminars booked before or after a show. Each year our schedule take us to the Las Vegas Creative Painting Conference, the SDP Show, Artist Expo in Houston, TX, the HOOT Show in Columbus, OH, the NET Show in Providence, RI and for the first time the shows in the Northeast, this year in Portland, OR.

The seminar does not have to be in the same state as the show, only on the way to or from the show. Email or call for details.
