Dear Friends, I've just returned from teaching at Augusta Heritage in Elkins, WV -- a great experience! So many fine performers were featured. I heartily suggest you consider the Irish Week program next summer as I hope to be back there teaching a multi-generational class in Celtic Art. Next, I'll be heading to the Dublin Irish Festival in Dublin, Ohio to give a workshop and perform with Silver Arm. Then its off to Milwaukee Irish Festival where I'll be featured in the cultural tent working on some paintings and signing books. THE BOOKS ARE DOING WELL ! We are busy shipping out copies of the Limited First Edition of "Little Town of Spirals", the new children's picture book I have written and illustrated. Only 2000 copies will be made of this first edition and they are going fast. CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A LITERARY AGENT OR PUBLISHER TO EXPAND THE DISTRIBUTION OF THIS LOVELY BOOK! This is a fine art, keepsake book and I have tried to take all the right steps to make it a beautiful gift which will last a long time. Please click on the button above to order yours while they last. To see samples from the book CLICK THE BUTTON at the top of this page that says "Little Town of Spirals". A series of events is planned to show the original paintings and promote the book at galleries, schools, libraries and art centers so check my calendar for book signing events. NEW! Many of my images are now available as Cross Stitch charts through Heaven and Earth Designs . Great for Christmas gifts! http://www.heavenandearthdesigns.com. Cindy M.
