Checked out my new face book fan page. Just put it up last Sunday and already I have 15 fans. If you sign up within the next 27 days you are eligible to win a free 18x24"poster of one of my paintings. Here is the link: Melissa Walker artist
I am also on twitter. Check for me there. When I get all this internet stuff working together, hopefully it will generate some interest in my work. Wish me luck!

Randolph Arts Guild Juried Show
This week has been pretty busy so far. This past Tuesday I attended the Randolph Arts Guild's 27th Annual Juried Art Show. I had entered 3 pieces and received an Honorable Mention for my painting "Dreaming of Plates". It's always nice to get some recognition. As usual, there was a good crowd, although I got there a little late. The artwork was wonderful. There are some very good artists in Randolph Co.

Another school year
Time flies when you are having fun, or so they say. Not sure if that applies to this past year. Insanely hectic is more like it. At least the school year is almost over. Only 3 exams to proctor. If you have never proctored an EOC or VOCATS exam in NC you don't know what you are missing. Standing, (literally) for up to 3 1/2 hours watching students take a test. You can't read, grade papers or talk. Neither can the students. If a cell phone even rings, the whole test is thrown out and everyone has to come back another day to try again. Sooo much fun! I do enjoy teaching high school students though. They always keep me on my toes.

Summer is at an end
Two more days until school starts back up. I am sorry to see my summer end, but am ready to start the new year. I've been very busy this year learning about web pages and marketing. Getting back into my blog is part of that process. I have also been doing a lot of new artwork. I will try and post some soon. That's all for now. Still have lots of other things to do today.

I'm Back!
Finally figured out how to get back into my blog. I decided to also change the look of it. I like this simpler version. Many things have been going on in my life, artistically. I have been making a lot of art recently. I am also giving adult level workshops along with taking some workshops for myself. In addition I have started my own web page. Now I need to figure out how to link my blog to it. Lots to work on. For now, I just want to get some picture on my new slide show feature!

ATC's finally posted
The following ATC's were completed at the workshop I gave in Asheville. Everyone seemed to have a good time and encouraged me to do another workshop next year. The general consensus was that the topic be on techniques for ATC's, Artist Journals and Altered Books. These were all topics that were of interest to the art teachers present. I hope to get ATC's from 2 additional workshop participants that had to leave early. I will post those if I recieve them.
