Find Susan Shie, James Acord, Turtle Moon Studios, and Turtle Art Camp by spotting this garage door mural. This is the mural I painted on our garage door in Fall, 2008, to replace the aging mural on the front door. It's my Personal Landscape with Jimmy and me, Gretchen, Mike, and Eva, President Obama, and the Statue of Liberty, and all of our and GEM's cats, and a little St Quilta the Comforter down in the bottom left corner, sending out Peace vibes. Its message is "Power to the People: Heal the Earth with Unity and Kindness." You can see more images and read my statement about this huge painting here.
Study on an intimate level with artist Susan Shie. Through her Turtle Art Camp, she's been helping people find their instinctive and joyful aritist's voice in classes in her home and studios since 1994. Study drawing and painting with regular drawing tools and brush painting, and optional airbrush and airpen. Focus on any to all of the processes offered. Work on paper and/or canvas all week, rather than on fabric, if you choose. Students can choose to machine quilt one of their daily camp paintings at the end of their week. Each Turtle Art Camp can have up to four adult students, who live and work in Susan's home and studios in Wooster, Ohio.

The deck comes with a small (same size as the cards) user guidebook by author Dennis Fairchild. The publisher is Hay House.
The guidebook and deck are together in a box that's 5 3/8" x 3 7/8" x 1". Now you can browse the contents of Denny's booklet on our Kitchen Tarot page at Amazon. I won't be selling the deck online, so buy from Amazon, please!

Here's a detail from my "Pressure Cooker / Tower" piece, which was in Quilt National '07 and on the cover of the Quilt National book. Read about it and lots of news since February, 07 to July, 07 in my Turtle Trax Diary for July 31, 2007.

Archive of the GREEN QUILTS Project, which ended in 2004. Read the online newsletter on the GREEN QUILTS page, which leads to diary style update pages. The GREEN QUILTS Project officially ended in May, 2004. You can read all about this in the last update page. A deep thank you to everyone who contributed to the project over its 15 years, especially to Robin Schwalb and Michele Merges Martens, my GREEN QUILTS co-organizers.

Tarot Readings from Lotus Tarot. I found this
site and did a sample reading, and it was just like i was doing the reading
myself, with my own cards. I reallly liked it and hope you will, too. It
reminded me of the little astrology program I use, which is a Mac hypercard.This
is just a very simple site, and you click on the cards you want to select,
after concentrating on your question. Then they give you the meanings of
each card you'd chosen. You can even archive up to ten free readings on
their site, and you can have endless readings.
