Hi there Yogis,

Every day I learn something new about painting on Teabags.  

You would think there was only two things? 1. Find a tea bag, 2. Paint on it.  Not so.  There is *the quality of tea bag, *the shape, *the shape of what you want to paint, *the size, *the paper preparation, *the kind of size, *adhering the bag to the backing paper…. ****** I could go on.  There will be more.  You can struggle, you can do it by yourself, or you can come to a workshop with me….  watch this space for a workshop near you.  I am also exploring the possibility of having an online workshop.

If this inspires you start accumulating tea bags (not as easy as it seems – have you seen used tea bags?) and register for a workshop – or book one at your studio, or a zoom workshop just for you!  Email me.  yogafirst2@bigpond.com

CLASS TIMES ETC.

Just a reminder of times and changes.  I will be doing a zoom INTRODUCTION TO DISABILITY YOGA.  When I learn something useful, that add to our studio skills, I bring it to you… and I am doing it again here.  I will keep you posted.  I am still working on the book, it will be a biggie, about 60 A4 pages to download.

Dear Yogis,

We had a great luncheon at The FULL MOON SALOON on Saturday.  We are working through the menu.  I didn’t have the nachos this time but they looked really splendid, and i was tempted for the next time I visit the Saloon. Theirs are the best nachos in town.   They have a few iterations of this item – with chicken or beans or vegan or, or, or.  However, whatever you choose from the menu it is always fantastic….and fresh.  Please prepare your diary now for the next time.

PAINTING..

I have been busy painting – what? THE TAROT.  I have been painting the tarot on tea and coffee bags.  It is quite a challenge, because all the tiny details are important and must not be ignored or dropped out.  Thank goodness I have really tiny, tiny brushes.  It has made me very respectful of the Rider Waite deck, and caused me to look deeply at the images.  Tea bags have changed (and reduced in size) in the years since I began painting on them – I don’t suppose many would notice?  I switched to painting on coffee bags, and even Timms changed the material.  So, I now prefer Robert Timms coffee bags, but I use a watercolour ground before I begin painting to overcome the unstable nature of their new fabric.

I have an exhibition lined up for June, and may show them in other places (or make on commission if you would like your favourite card to hang on the wall).  I am not sure that I will finish the complete deck and up to now have been painting them in a random fashion, but may have to focus on the major arcana in order to show a meaningful set.
