Jane Hermann Simons on Instagram: "Another step in Roots and Wings class. Ok so after I placed my nest on the red book cover it felt like the red didnt go. So I took the plunge and went with black gesso to cover the red. I left slight bits of red showing through. I collaged with some papers of an altered photo of roses. Metal piece has black tacks holding it down. Haven’t glued nest yet, it’s so delicate afraid may fall apart. #rootsandwings #nest #assemblage #bookarts"

TinekeK on Instagram: "Today was a sunny day and I could make a start with the amazing @alexcastroferreira7770 course Nests and Wings. I made a wet cyanotype with my 1 year old chemicals mixture. It turned out well. First 2 photos show the prepared paper exposed in the sunlight. Last 2 photos show the final washed result. 💙 💙 💙 #cyanotype"

Ranelle Fortier on Instagram: "Another fun Artsy Girl adventure … last weekend I got to venture off again to the beautiful Santa Barbara, CA with my fellow artsy girlfriends, Jill & Trina. Together we went to the Creative Nest Studio, where our friend, Darcy Ritzau, hosted the talented artist & teacher, Alex Castro Ferreira of Portugal. I’ve wanted to take a workshop with Alex in Portugal for many years, (and might still get to do that someday). But how wonderful that she got to come to the USA, and so close to my part of the world! She was amazing! I’m so truly grateful for everyone and all they do to make these “in person” workshops happen.
