Card Making Workshops



I will be conducting two card making workshops at Nathalie-Roze and Company in time for Valentine's Day (and beyond!)

The three workshop dates scheduled are:
Saturday January 31st from 1:30pm - 4:00 pm
and
Saturday February 14th from 10am- 12:30pm
and
Saturday February 28th from 1:30 - 4:30 pm


A hand made card will make your sweetie swoon!
Make cards suitable for Birthdays and Bar Mitzvah's too or just come and play and let your creativity flow. Perhaps you will make the first "Happy Monday Morning in February" card...

In small groups we will focus on playing with everyday materials, sewing on paper, and collage.
This workshop has always been a fun way to explore materials and come out with some lovely cards you will be happy to send.

For more details please call or visit Nathalie-Roze and Company at 1015 Queen Street East, in the heart of Leslieville in Toronto. Telephone: (416)792-1699

What Comes Next...

In Little India
the snow falls
a man with
a gorgeous pink turban
and a western style suit in chocolate brown
crosses the road

pink turban
brown suit
snow falls

this moment
I take a photo
not with any camera
the speed in which
the snow falls
gentle
on film a blur

pink turban
brown suit
in a storm of snow

this is my
non-photographic
photo

this is the
instant
of colour
and weather
the bright
the cold
the mingling
of snow
and
seeing

colour punctuation marks
causing pause
the self asking the mind
to remember

pink turban
brown suit
falling snow

we stand outside
the small library

out from the warm words
into the cold

as my daughter asks
"What's next?"

pink
brown
snow
stillness
we stand
what's next

a man in the road
with his back to us
navigating the traffic in a beautiful pink turban

the chill from the warm
to cold

the punch of colour
that delights

a painting
a poem
just a moment
just what comes next.
