Coast to Coast 2012 convention

Last weekend, I had a great time at the Coast to Coast Creative Arts convention.

Here is a photo of my booth:

My booth

On the left side, I had books for sale, including my Tangle Journals and my Tangle Organizers.

Booth - left side

and on the right side, I had a binder with samples of my work, and a space where I could demo; I mainly drew on square Zentangle tiles and Zendala tiles. The display on the far right is an acrylic showcase I use for pens, tiles, kits, etc.

Booth - right side

Here is my teaching setup, my computer on the right, projector on the left, and document camera in the centre. (If I look tired in this photo it's because this class took place from 6-10pm at the end of a day that started at 7am. Things livened up once the class got going.)

Teaching setup

Finally, here are all the students' projects from my class. We created a multi-purpose greeting card that can be copied and used for different purposes by adding a sentiment in the centre. Didn't they all do a great job? Even the rebel who drew in her sketchbook instead of the card. :-)
