Art Inspires All!

It never ceases to amaze me how good things happen when you are true to your inner calling.
Art has always been my big love but I haven't always honored it. In fact, teaching art wasn't something I planned for, it just happened.
I've written a short piece about the evolution of Deep Space Sparkle in More Magazine and here's where you come in: you can read my (very short) story, "Art Inspires All" and cast a vote. The top ten vote recipients will compete for a trip to New York City. What are my chances? Pretty darn slim but I thought since you all are a HUGE part of this blog, you might want to see it.
Thanks everyone and keep those emails and comments coming!

  1. Thanks for your inspiration Patty. I run an after-school art club at the elementary school where I teach and I have used many of your ideas :) The Eric Carle seahorses were so amazing :)
    Thank you and good luck!

Well, what do you think? I love hearing how you adapted the art projects. Did it work? Any pitfalls? Or, if you'd like, just share your thoughts.
