Dear MCS Members,
Hope you are all enjoying our lovely summer weather. It has been so nice to once again hear birdsong instead of the cicada racket.
Thanks to Carol Kazwick, we had a delightful meeting in June making Sumi Marbling papers. It was quite magical the way the colors came together to form such interesting designs and patterns. I've already used one of my papers as a background for a project. Thanks Carol.
Remember, we don't meet in July and August 4th will be a workday for us from 9:30 am to 2:30 pm. You can bring the project of your choice and have the opportunity of chatting with fellow members as you create your work for the Smithsonian. It is also an opportunity to create a piece for the MCS exhibit in September at the Crete Creative Gallery.
For those planning to attend the Creative Artists Retreat, it's a good time to start thinking about what projects you plan to work on and begin gathering the materials.
See you in August. Take care,
Nancy Castner
MCS President
