A Look Back… at our SUMMERTIME MIXED MEDIA WORKSHOP

It was such a great group of mixed media adventurers who appeared in the studio last month! We worked and played with paint, paper, collage, stenciling, imagining and mark-making to bring our summer dreams and memories to life. I’m always amazed at the results. Take a look:

Eileen with her recent book: The Ladybugs’ Adventure: A Read to Me Book of Numbers “It’s been such a great adventure to make this story come alive with my friend and author, Elle Gianforte. What started as 20 small paintings telling a silent story and Elle’s genius lyrical narration, it became so much more fun to share!” Eileen and Elle are in discussion about their next project!

How this counting story came to be:

“Despite the advice from a very famous author/illustrator to "...never begin a story book with the illustrations", Eileen Blodgett did just that. The 20 illustrations were first created as a visual story for an art exhibit. It wasn't until later that the illustrations were presented to friend and author, L. (Elle) Gianforte, to review for a possible storybook and The Ladybugs' Adventure was given a wonderful new direction.”

Follow the adventures of Lorelei the ladybug and her friends as they explore life beyond their garden. Delight in the encounters that teach them how differences make the world a richer and more colorful place. Encourage your little one to count the ever-growing number of ladybugs as they fluff up their wings and flutter across the pages on their enlightening and inspiring journey.
