Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, it's off to Ohio I go

Today I am busy packing up to go to Ohio where I will teach two classes at the Buckeye Tole Painters annual mini-retreat. Packing for a retreat or convention is always a challenge. You not only have to pack your clothes, but you have to pack everything you need to paint. If you are teaching, it means making sure you have all your surfaces, pattern packets, paints, and miscellaneous items for students in addition to what you need to paint. I will be teaching a watercolor class Friday evening--a piece call Hometown Holiday, our Courthouse tower during one of our holiday celebrations with fireworks. Saturday afternoon, I'm teaching an acrylic class on a wooden pictureframe. I call the design Going Fishing.
