New class is getting closer!

For awhile the Facial Reconstruction Class for Artists seemed like it was a long time away -- but here we are, already into April and the class will start May 17th. We're going to be sculpting a female this class so lots of new information.

Last day of sun for awhile

The daffodils and forsythia look so springtime, yet the Ozarks are famous for strange weather patterns. The snow got the daffodils and we've had several freezes that have bit quite a few of the plants that were up. Beautiful yesterday and today but by tonight the storms will move back in for a week.

Spring is Here!

They are predicting snow again on Saturday but the plants and trees know it's spring. Daffodils, Forsythia and Bradford Pear tree.

New exhibit on Facial Reconstruction

Here is some exciting news for those of you who are interested in Forensic Facial Reconstruction. Below is the information on the exhibit, and a link to a short video which gives you a good look at what you will be learning in the Facial Reconstruction Class for Artists. The new 2009 class begins May17th -- details are on the website. http://janfloodstudios.com/OnLineClasses.html


The Art and Science of Forensic Facial Reconstruction is the new exhibit at the Museum of Natural History in Cleveland, Ohio. It investigates the in-depth process of forensic facial reconstruction. You can watch a short video, courtesy of WKYC TV, that will give you a good idea of what you will be learning in this class.

Almost There

When I get the busiest it seems like life has a way of keeping me in line. After spending the summer in web design classes, August in CA visiting our kids and grandkids, numerous flight delays, cancellations and way too much time spent waiting in airports we finally got back home. September and October I thought maybe I'd picked up a virus travelling but in November was diagnosed with kidney disease. Spent the holidays learning how to take care of myself and was feeling pretty good only to come down with some type of flu the end of January.

Now that I'm back on my feet, I'm ready for spring! We've had record warm weather and record cold, typical Missouri. A few snows, which I love and not much ice so all in all not a bad winter. Even though we had a light snow this morning the sun is shining and the plants know it's almost spring. The daffodils are up several inches, many herbs are also up and my hanging garden bells, which started as a 4" pot a couple of years ago have spread to cover and entire area this year. They will be beautiful when in bloom! Is it the times we live in or my age that keep me one step behind all the projects I have started? I'm hoping to get one completed each week this year and get caught up!

New Class

Finally, after months of waiting we have the dates for the 2009 Facial Reconstruction for Artists class. The 6-week class will begin on May17 and end on June 27th. Details and information of early registration are on the website, http://www.janfloodstudios.com

Our first real snow!

While the worst part of the storm hit a few miles south of us, closer to Branson and below, we did get our share of ice and snow along with some thunder snow the first night. I love this, I watched it as long as there was light and then took a picture after dark.
