As many of you know, I enjoy taking online classes from Carla Sonheim. These are the past year long classes I have taken from her:
2013 – My very first online class – The Year of the Giraffe:
2014 – The Year of the Fairytale – here is the Frog Princess:
2015 – The Year of the Spark – and my first year of blogging:
2016 – Y is for Yellow! Why don’t you join me?!
The new class for 2016 is going to be about completing a body of artwork. If you’d like to find out more about it, Carla has posted a short video:
Happy Creating! 🙂
Great work, and I absolutely love the giraffes!

Is that fabric on those giraffes? All of these would make great kids book illustrations. (K)
